Zeus Version 1.00
-----------------
Initial release of the Zeus for Windows Version 1.00
Zeus Version 1.01
-----------------
1) Fixed:
Problem with electric keyboard expansion. The electric listbox is case
insensitive but the search was done as case sensitive. This meant the
following expansion did not work.
"T" 1 "TRUE"
Note: That the keyboard expansion is still coded to be case sensitive.
2) Fixed:
Tab characters where not being processed correctly in the preprocessor
string. For example the following would paint incorrectly.
#<tab char here>ifdef
3) Fixed:
Tab characters where not being processed correctly when place within
strings. For example the following would paint incorrectly.
"<tab char here>this is a string with a tab in it"
4) Added:
Added electric expansion "\b" control character and changed search to
limit words with delimiters characters also (ie "(ifg<space>" would now
expand out).
6) Added:
Backup interval edit field to editor options dialog box was added.
7) Added:
If Zeus is minimised and a file is opened by double clicking or dropping on
the Zeus for windows icon (using the File Manager, Zeus file associations)
then Zeus will be restored to normal size.
8) Added:
The Open dialog now has persistence. It remembers the file extension
filter last used (for the period of the edit session only).
Zeus Version 1.02
-----------------
9) Added:
New functions, Close, Close All and Save All added to the toolbar and
Save All option added to the File menu.
10) Added:
Standard CUA keyboard mappings for cut, copy, paste and marking have
been added to editor.
11) Added:
Better use of the hourglass for operations requiring CPU time.
12) Added:
Brief Ctrl-F5 toggle case sensitivity command was added.
13) Fixed:
Tab and Shift-Tab of a marked area now moves the area with tabs or
spaces depending on the options editor "Replace tabs with space"
option (old version would always use spaces).
Zeus Version 1.03
-----------------
14) Fixed:
Major problem with non US keyboard drivers now fixed. For example Zeus
would cause crash if keyboard was set to German and an extended (Non
ASCII) key was pressed.
15) Fixed:
Problem with compiler not working over different disk drives. ie c:\zeus
could not compile file located in e:\project.
16) Added:
Error listbox font now matches the font selected for editing. This should
allow more of the error message to be seen (in the case of very long error
messages).
17) Fixed:
When the compiler is run in minimized mode, Zeus for Windows does not loose
active status any more (it would incorrectly switch to the program manager
if the PM was visible).
18) Added:
Brief Ctrl-K Kill to beginning of line command added.
19) Added:
Multiple file selection to the File Open dialog box added.
20) Added:
Extra messaging reporting added to the status line.
21) Added:
Ability to define two file open and file save as filters was added to the
editor setup dialog box.
21) Fixed:
Problem found when a stream marked area that contained tabs characters was
deleted or cut has been fixed.
NOTE: Version 1.03 Frozen
=========================
Sold first copy of Zeus for Windows V1.03 Editor. Zeus for Windows frozen
at this version while work starts on the platform portable version of Zeus.
Zeus Version 1.04 (Start of portable version)
---------------------------------------------
22) Fixed:
Any multi select file open on any root directory (ie a:\\filename.txt) would
cause an error opening the selected files.
23) Fixed:
Double click on error list box would loose the status bar error when the
document was activated. Now the error is not lost on double click activation.
24) Fixed:
Added feature to editor setup that enables the size of the newly created MDI
window to be controled.
25) Fixed:
Smart indenting in overwrite mode would delete characters from the line
below. This has now been fixed.
26) Added:
Goto dialog and bookmark dialog now remember the last valid value entered.
Also better feedback via the status line was added.
27) Added:
The Error listbox now supports a horizontal scroll bar.
28) Added:
A Online Help QuickSearch feature was added to the Help menu popup.
29) Fixed:
The compiler error processing has been reworked in an effort to remove a
few strange bugs that would sometimes occur while compiling. Also a third
parameter was added to the command line arguments passed to compiler batch
file (see online help for details).
30) Added:
Added a new improved toolbar and status bar. It paints better, has less
flicker and removes some of the keyboard problems (ie using the old toolbar
the alt key would not work if the mouse pointer is on a toolbar button).
31) Added:
Added a the ability to show and hide the toolbar and status bar using the
menu options.
32) Fixed:
Hitting backspace with the cursor at column position 0 does not delete
the character like it use to.
33) Fixed:
Searching for whole words was not working. This is now fixed.
34) Fixed:
The Replace dialog find and replace buttons where not working as would be
expected. This has now been fixed.
35) Fixed:
Reduced the amount of screen flicker when opening and closing the MDI windows.
36) Fixed:
Added error message if you try to compile a file that is changed and somehow
becomes write protected. Previously Zeus would just abort the compile without
an error.
37) Fixed:
Zeus would let you start multiple compiles while the first compile was still
in progress. This eventually caused the system to GPF. Zeus has been fixed,
so that it now only allows one compile at a time.
38) Added:
The error window now supports the Control+Minus key (or file close menu)
option. If the error windows contains compiler output the control minus
returns you to the file that had been compiled and so it behaves like a
reverse to the Control+P list errors keystroke.
39) Fixed:
The Open and Save As file dialog where modeless. The have now been made modal
to the main application.
40) Added:
The file restore on startup feature now restores the file and the line number
on startup.
41) Added:
The insert/overwrite now have proper insert and overwrite carets (cursors)
respectively, giving better visual feedback on the current insert mode.
42) Fixed:
The word highlighting code will highlights quoted strings differently to
normal text. This algorithm would work for the first quoted string but not
for the second of two quoted strings on the same line. For example:
VALUE "CompanyName", "Xidicone Pty Ltd", "Zeus for Windows"
for the line above Atl-h would correctly highlight the first but not the
second or second strings. It now works correctly for all strings.
43) Added:
The compile process now reports if the compile was successful, has warnings
or has errors. Previously it only reported the compile was complete.
44) Fixed:
If the Enter key was hit while text was highlighted, the highlighted text
was not replaced by the enter key. This has now been fixed (NOTE: this ONLY
applies when the editor is in insert mode).
Zeus Version 1.05 (Start of Windows 3.x, Windows 95, Combined Development)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
45) Fixed:
Fixed a few /****/ comment painting problems. I'm sure there are still a lot
more to come!
Bug #1: Put the cursor on the middle of the first comment line and then hit
the Alt-K key. Then hit undo and the painting does not return to the correct
comment state.
/*************************************************************/
This should return to none commented after the undo is done!
/*************************************************************/
Bug #2: Insert line number one into the the block comment then hit undo.
/* This is line number one (copy this line only)
*/
/*
* This is the block comment
* Insert the the one line above here!
*/
46) Added:
The search and replace dialog gives the user better feedback by using the
status line to display a message when things go wrong.
47) Added:
The editor setup option now allows you to toggle a left hand margin on or off.
48) Fixed:
Fixed 3 bugs with the comment /* ie comments */ processing. The old code was
getting out of synch after several line insertions and deletions. The new
code has at least 3 less bugs to worry about but still has problems.
48) Fixed:
Improved the background compile processing. For example by improving the
message dispatch a typical background compile time has been reduced by 50%
and loads from floppy disk are much faster.
49) Added:
Added limited keyboard macro support to allow the recording and playback of
simple key strokes macros. Now supports F7, F8 and Ctrl-R commands.
50) Added:
Configurable colorize support based on file extension. This also allows
things like the keywords, comment character, preprocessor character, string
character and delimiters characters to be defined for each file type.
51) Added:
The editor now supports a basic line wrap feature. This allows you to define
the column at which the editor will automaticly line wrap, breaking the line
on a word boundary.
52) Fixed:
Fixed a bug in the options editor dialog where the backup interval entry
field was getting disabled incorrectly.
53) Added:
The file open can now be configured to allow/not allow single or multiple
loads of files. This means that if the file is already loaded Zeus can be
made to restore the original rather than loading a second copy, or a second
copy can be opened if required.
54) Fixed:
Fixed a problem will Zeus trying to open a file that was already opened by
another application. After the sharing violation message Zeus would
protection violate. This has now been fixed.
54) Added:
Added the ability to read and write Unix text file in addition to the default
standard MS-DOS text file formats.
55) Added:
I have added as restore size feature. Zeus now remembers the size and
position of the main frame window between editing sessions.
56) Added:
If the error handler finds the error in and external file and that error is
selected from the error output window, the error handling will now try to open
up the external file and goto the line at fault.
57) Added:
Support for setting up and running external tools has been added to the main
menu. Piping of the results to an output window has also been added. Files can
be loaded from the output window by just double clicking on any line in the
output window, provided the line selected contains a valid file name.
58) Fixed:
The print support in Zeus has been totally re-worked. This has improved the
printing and hopefully fix the numerous problems with the old printing code.
59) Fixed:
The CUA marking has been fixed to also allow CUA marking while using the word
left or word right keys. Also the CUA ghost marking problem has been fixed.
60) Added:
The command line processing has been improved to allow the '?' and '*' wild
card characters. This enabled multiple files to be loaded via the command
line, for example when Zeus is run from File Manager or Program Manager menu
run commands.
Zeus Version 1.05.3
-------------------
NOTE: Zeus Windows 3.x Version completed and tested while Zeus Windows 95
awaits the final release of Windows 95 to allow testing to be completed.
Zeus Version 1.06 Alpha Started (programmable keyboard and macro support)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
61) Added:
Support for the Alt-B list file buffer function was added.
62) Added:
Support for the Ctrl-G list file functions in file was added. This will only
work with C\C++ type function prototypes.
63) Added:
Support for regular expression search and replace was added.
64) Added:
The search and replace dialog now support the tab search and replace on the
tab character using the '\t' search and replace strings.
65) Added:
The contents of the output window and the compiler message window can now
be copied to clipboard.
66) Fixed/Added (take your pick):
The line goto command now retains the current cursor position.
67) Fixed
The backspace command would incorrectly do a character delete when the cursor
was located past the EOL. This has been fixed to only move the cursor in this
case.
68) Fixed
The captured output window was getting cleared every time a tool was run
regardless of whether the tool was run with the capture output option enabled.
This has now been fixed.
69) Added:
Zeus can take any line of text in a file, parse it for a valid file name and
then try to load the file. This function is attached to the Ctrl+E command or
the right mouse button single click. Use this function to open include files.
70) Added:
The Windows 95 version has had long file name support added.
71) Added:
The following Brief keystrokes where added:
Ctrl-Home - Top of page
Ctrl-End - Bottom of page
Ctrl-PageUp - Start of document
Ctrl-PageDown - End of document
Ctrl-b - Bottom of page
Ctrl-t - Top of page
Ctrl-d - Scroll down a line
Ctrl-s - Scroll up a line (remapped)
Ctrl-e - Locate file on current line
72) Added:
The following CUA keystrokes where added:
Ctrl-A - Redo changes
Ctrl-Backspace - Redo changes
Alt-Backspace - Undo changes
73) Added:
The MDI Tile Vertical and Horizontal windows options have been added.
74) Added:
The toolbar now has a find and replace buttons.
75) Added:
The the search, replace, goto and goto bookmark functions now position the
jump to new line in the center of the window, not at the top or bottom of
the window as the previously did.
76) Added:
The the search, replace, goto and goto bookmark dialogs remember their
screen positions and restore to their old location.
77) Fixed:
Fixed a problem with the auto indenting not working in line wrapping mode.
78) Fixed:
Fixed a problem with maximum line length auto wrapping feature used on
file load. In trying to wrap the line on a word break it would sometimes
corrupt the wrapped line.
79) Fixed:
The right mouse button upper case, lower case and toggle functions did not
work correctly in overwrite mode. This has now been fixed.
80) Fixed:
The saving of the startup files on exit did not always save the files
correctly, resulting in not all files getting reloaded on startup. This
problem has now been fixed.
81) Fixed:
The tokenizer code could not distinguish like words for example, if
you had the following keywords:
right
rightof
then the 'rightof' keyword would never get recognized.
Zeus Version 1.07 Windows 3.x, Windows 95 and Windows NT Release
----------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE: The Zeus for Windows product is built from a single code base so now
all products irrespective of platform share the same version numbers.
Zeus Version 2.00.01 Alpha Started (new keyboard manager and memory manager)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
81) Fixed:
If you ran a compile where the compiler EXE was not found the error window
incorrectly reported no errors found. This has now been fixed.
82) Added:
The ability to match the following braces have been added "{}[]<>"
and the function was bound to the Ctrl+']' key.
83) Fixed:
An obscure command line bug has hopefully been fixed. For some machines
with some command lines rentered, the F10 command would lock up after running
the same command after a few times. This bug was very hard to replicate but I
it seems to have gone away so I think it may have been fixed (seemed to be
some type of timing problem).
84) Fixed:
The double click close of an MDI window was not closing the message and output
windows correctly (only in Win 3.x). This could result in a GPF if these
windows where then put to use (ie compile or run a tool). The normal file
close or Ctrl + Minus method would work correctly.
85) Fixed:
The output window would no longer function once a Ctrl+G scan function was
run. This has now been fixed.
86) Added:
New user configurable keyboard mapping allows Zeus to support multiple
keyboard mapping, including WordStar, Epsilon and Brief.
87) Added:
Support for TAG characters via command line added.
88) Fixed:
The online help has been totally re-written, hopefully making it easier to
use Zeus and it's many features.
89) Fixed:
Maximum file size increase to 60,000 lines, up from the original 10,000
line limit of earlier versions.
90) Fixed:
There was an obscure bug that would cause a GPF once in a while. This was
tracked down to an error in the MDI window management, so hopefully this
occasional GPF has been fixed. The aim is to make sure Zeus never GPF's.
91) Added:
Project support has been added to Zeus. This allows you to build a
project from within Zeus.
92) Added:
Compiler support now supports multiple command lines. The compiler that is
used to compile the active file is choosen using the file extension.
93) Fixes:
A large number of smaller fixes have also been applied, fixing things like
painting problems, improved error handling and other minor problems.
94) Added:
Version information has been added to all Zeus data files. This was done to
make Zeus more stable and allow easier backward compatibility in future
versions of Zeus. The only draw back is that Zeus 2.00 data files are NOT
compatible with earlier Zeus data files.
95) Added:
Zeus now does a basic form of Smart Bracing. Zeus will automatically add
a matching brace and indent the cursor for the '{' brace character.
Zeus Version 2.00
-----------------
Initial release of the Zeus for Windows Version 2.00 (Febuary 1996)
Zeus Version 2.01
-----------------
96) Fixed:
The support for long file extension has finally been fixed (hopefully!). Zeus
would not initialise the extension information when long file extensions was
used. Note Zeus still only recognizes the first 3 characters of the extension
to provide 8.3 backward compatibility, so long extensions are identified by
their first three characters only.
97) Fixed:
Sometimes Zeus would not paste the last line from the clipboard. This has
now been fixed.
98) Fixed:
The backspace key would sometimes delete a line once the backspace reached
the column 0 position. This has now been fixed.
99) Fixed:
The in Options | Compiler "Normal" radio button would stay activate once
pressed. This has been fixed.
100) Added:
A literal character key has been added to the extension dialog. This allows
you to define a literal character which is the used by the colorizer as a
way of ignoring the quote characters. For example:
"this is quote \" is not the end of the string"
101) Fixed:
Fixed the DDE problem with the Win32 version of Zeus. You would get a
GPF if you double clicked a WinFile file, during the DDE connection.
102) Added:
The Print dialog FilePrint() function will now automatically select the
print marked area if it is activated will text in the current document
is marked.
103) Fixed:
The F10 dir command would incorrectly detect a line number in the captured
output of the DIR command in Windows 95. This would result in a file
load to a incorrect line number.
104) Added:
Increased the column position display to 4 digits.
105) Fixed:
The Zeus dialog box's would only save their position on cancel, not on the
OK or close commands. The dialogs now save their position whenever the
dialog is closed.
106) Added:
The printout will automatically wrap the print output to the next line if
the line length exceeds the page width.
107) Added:
The printout will now filter all non-printable characters from the printer
output stream (configurable via the INI file).
108) Fixed:
When using the Options | Compiler dialog and trying to delete entries from
the "Installed Command Line" either the line is not deleted or the wrong
line is deleted from the list. This has now been fixed.
109) Fixed:
When using the Options | Compiler dialog and trying to define a command
line, Zeus did not process command lines where the options followed the
file name, for example: "c51 SAMPLE.C large debug code"
110) Added:
The ERR files produced by Zeus for the compile process could get large in
number so I added a feature where by Zeus would clean up these files once
they are no longer required.
111) Fixed:
The support for long file extension has finally been fixed again! Found a
bug with Zeus compiling long file extensions like 'java' files.
112) Fixed:
Zeus had a sizing problem when the Option | Editor Display Mode was set to
create default. Once created the cursor would get lost of the bottom of the
page and would not auto scroll. The scroll bars would also not work and
sometimes would not be shown.
113) Fixed:
Zeus would not load binary files because they contained null characters. If
a binary file was loaded Zeus would get caught in a infinite loop. Now Zeus
loads binary files but any null characters are replace with white space and
the file is loaded as read only.
114) Fixed:
The FileReloadCurrent() edit function would cause a GPF sometimes. This has
now been fixed.
115) Added:
Support for reading and writing OEM text files was added. This feature
allows you to edit ANSI text files (character set used by Windows) even
if the source is an ASCII (OEM) text file (character set commonly used
under DOS).
116) Fixed:
The $Column and $Line TAG macros where returning incorrect results.
117) Fixed:
If you start a second version of Zeus with the -S(econd) option Zeus will
just re-activate the previous versions.
Zeus Version 2.15 Windows 3.x, Windows 95 and Windows NT Release
----------------------------------------------------------------
118) Added:
Add home and end key processing to the standard output, compiler output
and project output. This processing moves to the home or end of the
current line and replaces the default home and end processing provided
by windows.
119) Added:
Zeus now has a feature where by it warns the user if the file currently
loaded has been changed by another application, allowing the file to be
reloaded.
120) Fixed:
Zeus would GPF if there where no files loaded and the user hit the Tab,
or F6 key. This also applied to when the output windows where open. This
has been fixed.
121) Added:
When the file is in read only mode, an indication of the read only state
is now shown on the file caption.
122) Fixed:
The search and replace of tab characters would not always work because
searching for a tab would not highlight the entire tab character. This
is now fixed.
123) Fixed:
The dialog box positions where being saved during the edit session but
where not getting saved between edit sessions. Now working correctly.
124) Added:
The line wrapping in Zeus has been enhanced to also support the smart
indenting option as well. This means that as Zeus wraps it will smart
indent at the same time, if this option is enabled.
125) Added:
The Zeus extension code now has a case insensitive keyword setting. This
should help when defining extensions for languages that are not case
sensitive.
126) Added:
The function list, function next and function previous commands have been
added to the view menu.
127) Fixed:
The replace all using the regular expression "[ ]*$" with the null
character "" could cause Zeus to lock up in an infinite loop. This has
hopefully been fixed.
128) Fixed:
The Quick Help configuration option would hang when loading the new
Windows 95 help files. This has been fixed to support some of the
newer file formats, or to just report an error if the format is not
recognised as a supported help file.
130) Fixed:
The remove button in the define keymap dialog was not working due to
a coding bug. Also keywords containing spaces where allowed, while the
expansion would ignore such keywords. These are now working correctly.
131) Fixed:
Some of the error message box's would not be modal to the application and
could sometime get hidden behind the application. This has been changed to
make sure the message box always stays in front of the application.
132) Fixed:
Zeus for Windows 3.x would paint badly if the background color was changed
to one of the other color schemes. This would show up in the about dialog
and the other dialog boxes. The paint will now support different color
schemes.
133) Added:
A functions to wrap the current line and a function to wrap the currently
marked area have been added. These functions can be bound to function keys
if required.
134) Fixed:
The auto-scroll feature of Zeus used for mouse marking would not auto scroll
along the x axis when Zeus was maximized.
135) Fixed:
Pressing ctrl-return key at the first column postion behaved differently
from pressing the same key at any other column position. This function now
behaves in a consistent manner.
136) Fixed:
The brief column pasting mode as set using the Options Editor dialog was
working in exactly the same way like in the original brief.
137) Added:
The templates can now be defined based on the file extension. This means
for example you could define an IF expansion for a C/C++ file while
at the same time define an IF expansion for the Pascal files.
138) Added:
Added the following functions to the keymap function list:
BackspaceEx - Backspace at the start of line moves to the end previous
line doing a join at the same time.
MoveLineLeftEx - Move the cursor left but move up a line up and to the
end of the line when the cursor hits the start of line.
MoveLineRightEx - Move the cursor right but move up a line down and to the
start of the line when the cursor hits the end of line.
139) Added:
A read only check box was added to the File Open dialog. This allows a
file to be opened for read only viewing.
140) Fixed:
The compiler dialog was not disabling the command line input when the
"use other file" radio button was was selected. This edit field has
no meaning in this mode and so should be disabled.
141) Added:
The Alt+Z DosShell command now starts the new session in the same directory
as the current file. If there is no current file it starts the session in
the current directory.
142) Added:
The Project, Compiler and Tools now support the piping of standard error
through the use of the zStderr.exe utility. This feature is easily accessed
using the configuration now in the Project, Compiler and Tools dialogs.
143) Added:
You can get Zeus to trim the last blank line off the file using the
following INI file option:
[Editor Options]
FileTrim=1
144) Added:
Added the following functions to the keymap function list:
FileTouch - Touch's the time stamp of the current file.
145) Fixed:
The compiler, tool, project spawning was not working in Windows NT due to a
defective Win32 API (GetProcessExitCode). This has been fixed by using a
workaround solution and no longer using this broken API.
146) Added:
The file tag information has been improved for the message windows. These
tags will now return meaningful information for nearly all case with some
returning information specific to the current item selected.
147) Added:
The automatic loading of files from the output windows has been enhanced to
support the parent and current directory indicators (ie '..\' and '.\').
148) Added:
The following options where added to the INI file. These help fine tune
the error parsing process.
[RegularExpress]
Lines
Errors
Functions
149) Fixed:
The Zeus painting would not work correctly for some fonts including the
Borland TE font. The symptoms where unpainted lines between the lines.
150) Fixed:
The CUA marking was not quite CUA. It has now been fixed and in the process
a CUA marking bug related to the do/undo actions was also fixed.
151) Fixed:
The smart indent was inserting tab characters even though the insert tabs
option was disabled. It now adds tabs or spaces based on the editor tab
setting option.
152) Added:
A spell checking feature has been added to Zeus. This is just a basic
spelling engine that supports an English/American dictionary. Dictionaries
for other languages should be possible but at the moment only an English
dictionary is provided. Others may be added depending on the demand.
153) Fixed:
The macro recording was not recording any of the actions located on the
popup menu. This has now been fixed.
154) Fixed:
The new functions MoveLineLeftEx and MoveLineRightEx where fixed to also
support CUA marking if bound to the appropriate Shift key stroke (ie shift
left or right cursor).
155) Added:
The compiler and project command lines now also support the same $TAG
values that are used by the tools and DOS command line.
156) Added:
The following new functions where added:
MoveWordNextEx Move to the next word and continue onto the next
line if you reach the end of the current line.
MoveWordPreviousEx Move to the previous word and continue onto the
previous line if you reach the beginning of the
current line.
ClipboardPasteAndMark Paste the contents of the clipboard and highlight
the text that gets added by marking it.
157) Added:
The 'Save document before running' option was added to the tool configuration
dialog. This will force the currently active document to be save before
the tool is actually run.
158) Added:
A stamp function can be thought of as a function that adds some type of
text information to the currently active document. The following stamp
functions have been added:
StampDay - numerical day value
StampMonth - numerical month value
StampYear - numerical year value
StampDateTime - full date/time stamp
StampTime - time stamp
StampFileName - name of current file
StampFileSize - size of current file
StampFileDateTime - date/time stamp when file was last modified
159) Added:
The keyboard function FileSaveAllNamed was added. This save all documents
that have been named (ie will not prompt for untitled.txt files).
160) Fixed
The project make would not save all the buffers before running the make. This
problem has now been fixed.
161) Added
A new C like Zeus macro script language was added to both the editor and in
the form of the stand alone ZMI.EXE command macro interpreter. The command
line interpreter provides as a powerful alternative to the MS-DOS batch
processing system.
162) Added
The keyboard function ExecuteScript was added and the matching menu entry
was added to the macro menu. This function presents the user with the
execute script dialog which allows the user to run script file written
using the Zeus macro script language.
163) Added
A Clone button was added to the Extensions dialog. This allows you to create
a new file extension by copying the details from an existing file extension.
164) Fixed
The long file name support in the Win32 version of Zeus had a few bugs. This
version should fix a lot of these problems.
165) Added
The FileListAssociates function was added and also added to the veiw menu. This
function will list all files with a similar base file name, allowing you to quickly
locate and load related files.
166) Fixed
There have also be numerous smaller bug that have been fixed.
Zeus Version 2.50 Windows 3.x, Windows 95 and Windows NT Release
----------------------------------------------------------------
Zeus Lite Version 2.50 Windows 3.x, Windows 95 and Windows NT Release
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Initial release of the Zeus Lite for Windows, Win32 (January 1997)
NOTE: The Zeus Lite editor is just a cut down version of the Zeus editor
but still shares a common code base with it's older brother.
Zeus for Windows, Lite Version 2.51
-----------------------------------
167) Fixed
The "Lines" INI value that is used for compiler error handling was not working
correctly but hopefully this should now be working.
168) Fixed
The Options | Editor "Indent braces" setting was not getting saved and as such
it would need to be set every time Zeus was started. This has now been fixed.
169) Added:
Added the following functions to the keymap function list:
MarkShiftLeftEx: Shift the currently marked area or current line to the
previous tab stop.
MarkShiftRightEx: Shift the currently marked area or current line to the
next tab stop.
ScrollLineUpEx: Scroll the screen up by one line position and do not
attempt to maintain the cursor screen position.
ScrollLineDownEx: Scroll the screen down by one line position and do not
attempt to maintain the cursor screen position.
170) Added:
A Complicated regular expression search can sometimes cause Zeus to appear to
lock up due to the fact that search gets stuck in a tight loop. In these cases
just you can now use the Ctrl+Break, Ctrl+C or Escape keys to cancel out of
these search and replace operations.
171) Added:
Numeric accelerator keys have been added to the list of the most recently files
located on the file menu. These can be used to quickly load a file by keyboard.
172) Fixed
The handling of the root directory was not working correctly. For example
the following would not work as expected:
F10
Directory = c:\
Command = dir *.*
173) Added:
The regular expression search and replace now supports the multi-part regular
expression search and replace. This allows you greater control over the
replacement process (see online help for details).
174) Fixed
The LineWrapMarkedArea function did not always wrap extra long lines correctly
but now it should work fine.
175) Fixed
If you bound the Shift+Key to any function that displays a dialog box the CUA
marking would incorrectly become enabled due to the resulting lost Shift key up
message.
176) Added:
Added the following functions to the keymap function list:
SearchWordCurrentNext : Search for the next occurrence of the current work without
activating the search dialog box.
SearchWordCurrentPrevious : Search for the previous occurrence of the current work without
activating the search dialog box.
MoveLineFirst : Move the cursor up to the first non-white space character of
the current line.
LineJoinNext : Join the current line with the next line.
LineJoinPrevious : Join the current line with the previous line.
PopupMenuDisplay : Display the popup menu (ie the menu attached to right
mouse button)
FileListDisplayEx : Displays the list of currently active windows. This dialog also
replaces the standard Microsoft MDI dialog that had problems
with long file names.
177) Added:
Several confirmation "Are you sure you want to delete" message boxes have been
added to the configuration dialogs to protect against inadvertent deletions.
178) Fixed:
Many of the listbox controls in the Zeus dialog boxes did not scroll correctly when
the cursor keys where used (the would move down two lines at a time).
179) Added:
The DOS Command Line dialog box directory entry field now supports the $TAG values.
180) Added:
A synchronised scrolling feature has been added, which when enabled will automatically
scroll all active document windows together.
181) Fixed
The standard Microsoft MDI "more windows" dialog (activated from the Windows Menu)
has been replaced with a more improved version. The new version is larger and also
allows horizontal scrolling and as such it caters for long file names (unlike the
original dialog).
182) Added:
A Clone button was added to the Templates dialog. This allows you to create
a new file template by copying the details from an existing file template.
183) Added:
The following command line arguments where added:
-i INI Filename // Use the specified INI file instead of the default INI file
-l LineNumber // Start editing at the specified line number
-s // Always start a second copy of Zeus

int getenv(string szName, string szBuffer);
int strchr(string szString, char chTest);
int strrchr(string szString, char chTest);
int strerror(string szBuffer);
int strncpy(string szDest, string szSource, int sLength);
int strmid(string szDest, string szSource, int sIndex, int sLength);
int strleft(string szDest, string szSource, int sLength);
int strright(string szDest, string szSource, int sIndex);
int strstr(string szString, string szSubString);
For more information on these functions refer to the macro scripting section
of the online help.
185) Added:
A function entry field has been added to the extension configuration dialog
box. This entry field allows you to define a regular expression that is used
to located the functions for the given file extension.
186) Added:
An errors and a line number entry field have been added to the compiler and
project configuration dialog boxes. These entry fields allows you to define
a regular expression that is used by the error handling component of the
Zeus editor and allows you to customise Zeus to support almost any compiler.

Zeus INI file (for more information refer to the User Manual section of

195) Added:
The bookmarks now remember the column position as well as the line number.
196) Fixed:
The Zeus tool and compiler handling did not work correctly for long file names
that contained space characters. Hopefully these bugs have not been fixed.
197) Added:
It is now possible to define a default file extension using the Options Extension
menu item. This default file extension is used when ever a file of a given extension
is loaded and that extension has not been defined.
198) Added:
Originally Zeus printed using the default printer font, but now Zeus will print
using a font that is matched to the current display font.
199) Added:
The tools, compiler and project support have had some extra diagnostic added in the
form of both configuration and run time checking. Hopefully this will help with the
installation of third party tools, compilers and builders.
200) Added:
The shape of the insert and overwrite carets is now configurable. To change the caret
size requires setting up a value in the Zeus INI file (see the User Manual section of
the online help for more details).
201) Added:
The setup procedure now adds an uninstall icon to the Zeus for Windows program group
making the uninstall of the software very easy.
Zeus Version 2.60 Windows 3.x, Windows 95 and Windows NT
--------------------------------------------------------
Initial release of the Zeus for Windows Version 2.60 (August 1997)
202) Added:
Support for UNC file types has been added. Previously Zeus would not load files
of the following format:
\\Server\Common\Work Files\test.c
203) Fixed:
If no file was currently loaded and the standard Zeus macros where run using the
macro menu item, sometimes Zeus would GPF. This has now been fixed.
204) Added:
The following keyboard functions where added:
BackspaceSmart - Perform a backspace to a column position using the line
above as a tab stop template.
FileAnsiToOem - Translates the current document into the OEM-defined character set.
FileOemToAnsi - Translates the current document from the OEM-defined character set
into either an ANSI or a wide-character string.

LineWrapEx - Similar to the LineWrap function but this function will
continue to wrap subsequent lines that are too long.
205) Fixed:
The Delete tool option located in the Tool Option dialog was broken when some
changes to the tool handling where made in version 2.60 of Zeus. The delete
would not always remove the selected item. This has now been restored to the
correct operation.
206) Fixed:
Zeus would lock up if a single marked line was wrapped using the LineWrapMarkedArea
function. This should now be fixed.
207) Fixed:
Sometimes after scrolling or pasting text into a document the Zeus cursor would
disappear. A change to the scroller has been made that has hopefully fixed this
problem.
208) Fixed:
Fixed Zeus so that the search and replace is processing at greater speed. This
was done by removing the screen updating on search and replace. Also the search
and replace now acts as a single undoable event.
209) Fixed:
If a file extension with minimal syntax highlighting is defined (ie by all the
fields in the extensions-dialog are erased) then when a file of that extension
is opened Zeus would lock up. This has now been fixed.
210) Added:
The following value was added to the Zeus INI file.
[Editor Options]
DefaultExtension="EXT"
This option lets you define the default extension used when a new file is
created. By default the extension is TXT.
211) Fixed:
The print selected area radio button would become disabled if the print dialog
was loaded a second time. This meant that the marked area could not be printed
without first restarting the editor.
212) Fixed:
Trying to load the autoexec.bat file using the command line argument \*.bat would
fail to load the file correctly.
213) Added:
The file type combo box in the open and save as dialogs was given persistence
meaning the last selected file type is retained when each time the dialog is
re-used.
Zeus Lite Version 2.61 Windows 3.x, Windows 95 and Windows NT (October 1997)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
214) Added:
A right hand margin line wrapping indicator has been added. This line represents
the current line wrapping column. This indicator can be removed using the following
INI file entry:
[Editor Options]
LineWrapDraw=0
215) Fixed:
The regular expressions and stderr options in the Options Project dialog where
not getting correctly saved and would not be redisplayed when this dialog was
opened a second time.

on the popup menu if required.
221) Fixed:
There was a printing problem where by the font used on the first page of
the print out would be different to the remaining pages (for certain
fonts only). This should now be fixed.
221) Added:
The print out now will print the file name to the footnote of the first
page and the page number to subsequent pages. This option can be disable
using the following INI file option.
[Editor Options]
PrintFootNote=0,1
