Textread version 38.82, release 1.13.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Textread is a more/ppmore/... clone. The main difference is the speed.
Textread is designed to be as fast as possible, yet system friendly.
Some of the features are:
o Speed
o Support for XPK and PowerPacker
o Multibuffer
o Multi settings
o Softscroll (well it sucks, really)
o RTG compatible
o Can use any fixed-width font system-friendly
o Can use any 8×8 pixel font on Amiga bitplanes
with very fast text routines
o Supports pipes
Just download it and have a look.
Changes since previous release (1.11)
Release 1.13
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
V38.82 'Edit text' now runs the editor async.
Textread should now be 100% (well, close)
compatible will graphics cards, if 'system
rendering' is selected.
Added 'Save' and 'Save As...' menu items.
The file requesters now have a title, just like
the other ones, when using RTPatch.
Minor improvements to the requesters, removed
redundant code.
Improved the ANSI/ISO sequence remover (It did not
remove ANSI/ISO sequences, just some common Escape
sequences!).
When 'system rendering' is selected, any
fixed-width font may be used, as long as 80×20
characters fits on screen. (Expect some slowdown)
When searching, the found word will be
hightlighted (or the line the word is on if
wildcard is used).
You can now supply your own icon images for the
prefs files and the AppIcon, just create the files
"ENV:Textread/def_prefs.info" and
"ENV:Textread/def_app.info".
(Re)added 'Go to line' (l, #) and 'Go to %' (g, %)
The default preference file is now located in
'ENVARC:Textread/Textread.prefs'.
Added a palette requester. Well, not quite...
All it does is running SYS:Tools/Colors (Exists on
your WB 2.0 disk. 3.0+ owners may want to try Ian
J. Einman's IanUtils (Fred Fish, or
AmiNet:dev/asm/IanUtils.lha)
The prefs files have changed format for the last
time, the new format is more flexible.
The key binding has changed a bit.
The 'Reveal' list now also shows buffer numbers.
Textread now supports pipes. Read the docs for
notes.
Some bugs removed, some small things improved.
Textread never detaches itself from shell anymore.
It was inconsequent, and besides, 'run' was made
for a reason.
Added Open/Close Workbench menu items.
If a second copy of Textread is started, without
the NEW argument, only a small portion of the code
will stay resident in memory, waiting for the new
buffer in the old Textread to be closed. Ehmm..
let's just say it saves memory.
System rendering and fontfake is allways on (and
can't be turned off) when a non-native screenmode
is selected. This will avoid potential (chip)
memory trashing.
Fixed the "***Corrupt window pointer!" problem
WShell reported. Thanks, Ulrich!
Added a requester to prevent accidental saves.
Discovered what caused a frustrating bug that made
my custom text routines do nothing (no screen
clear, no text printing, no nothing.) It was Magic
Layers (1.1) . So if Textread suddenly (or more
specific after you have dragged a window on
Textread's screen) stops printing, just iconify it
and deiconify, and don't drag any more windows on
Textreads screen!
Changed the shareware rules a bit.
Removed a bug that caused Textread to crash if the
ENVARC: assign did not exist.
