-------- history ----- this is not the complete history, read the guide!----
Changes made since 3.43:
Added a colored cursor,
added consistent marking of blocks in complement, even for CyberGfx.
added TAB expansion cache.
Removed two bugs of 3.43.
Added the "iconifyimageclass" as image class that is used for the
iconify gadget. GUI programs might want to implement such a class
to provide a custom layout of this gadget.
****************************************************************************
ANNOUNCEMENT:
If you like to glue the cursor to the edit position and don't want
it moving 'round the screen if marking blocks or scrolling, turn on
the XTerm Cursor Mode in the edit pages of SetVNC!
If you prefer single TAB requesters, turn on both the "Requester if
expansion is not unique" and the "First TAB expands fully" flag
in the Shell pages of SetVNC.
If you want the colored cursor, start SetVNC, select the window
pages, go to the second page. Press now the "PREV" button to see
the color before color 0, this is the cursor color: A "Cc" will be
shown instead of the color index. Check now the "Load register"
gadget and choose the color you want. Be prepared that no free
pen is available, so the cursor might fall back to the complement
mode or might get a more or less similar color.
SINCE NOBODY SEEMS TO READ THE GUIDE, HERE AGAIN:
PRESSING THE "SAVE" OR THE "USE" BUTTON IN THE SETVNC PROGRAM
DOES NOT, NO WAY, CHANGE THE SETTINGS OF WINDOWS ALREADY OPEN.
ONLY WINDOWS OPENED AFTERWARDS WILL GET THE NEW SETTINGS.
More on that is in the guide. PLEASE READ IT!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Another note:
VirusWorkShop seems to have trouble with the overlay file structure
that is used by the SetVNC program.
THIS IS NOT A VIRUS! It is a bugfix of the oldish CBM overlay
manager which is really buggy!
VirusWorkShop will be updated soon. (I hope)
To trick VirusWorkshop, the SetVNC program in this archive is
encoded. Use the "Decode" program from the "Extras" drawer to
decode manually. The installer script has been updated to do
this for you.
Thanks Urban, for reporting!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Some virus checkers might complain about the set PktWait() pointer
of the VNCFiler.supervisor. Again:
THIS IS NOT A VIRUS!
Anti-Beol has been updated to handle this case, please
update your copy as well!
