- REGISTRATION INFORMATION
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Kon is a shareware program. That means that you may use and evaluate Kon for a
- period of 30 days, before you decide if you want to buy the program or not.
-
- Since I have not crippled the program, except for a notice at program exit the
- program should be considered complete and fully functional for you to fully test
- and avaluate it.
-
- Therefore, if you do not pay for the program after 30 days, you are not allowed
- to use it and if you use it anyway, you're a thief. That's it.
-
- If you register the program you will receive a license number which allows you
- to use this version of Kon and all versions and bugfixes up to the next major
- revision (i.e. 2.x). As a registered user you will of course get a discount on
- the next major revision. When you register Kon, the registration notice at
- program exit will of course disappear.
-
- How to register:
-
- The price of Kon is US$20.

- HISTORY
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- v. 1.00 Rev. 1000 970109
- -------------------------
-
- Release version
-
- v. 1.01 Rev. 1001 970116
- -------------------------
-
- Word-wrap added. New commands:
- FormatParagraph
- FormatParagraphsInBlock
-
- Startup in read-only mode.
-
- Startup in hex.
-
- Notebook rearranged.
-
- Possible to change linebreak sequence. (CR+LF or LF)
-
- Paste word at cursor position into find dialog, and paste marked block into find
- dialog. Both are options.
-
- v. 1.01 Rev. 1002 970119
- -------------------------
-
- Significant speed improvement when moving cursor in large files. Even though
- find routine is not changed, moving to the position where the text is found goes
- much faster.
-
- Doubled speed in search & replace.
-
- Killed serious internal bug. Could give wrong character on certain positions in
- a file.
-
- Search & replace bug killed. If a short word was replaced by a longer and the
- replace counter was set greater than 1, all words were not replaced.
-
- Notebook bug in Font/color page fixed.
-
- v. 1.01 Rev. 1003 970120
- -------------------------
-
- Added option to save window postition and size, when a window is closed.
-
- Made Read-only mode visible by placing a red 'R' on the modified-mark position.
-
- Stripped menu in Read-only mode, instead of greying.
-
- Fixed a bug in FormatParagraph.
-
- v. 1.01 Rev. 1004 970122
- ------------------------
-
- Save window position and size introduced a bug, which made the editor crash in
- certain circumstances, for instance when a file pattern was supplied on the
- command line. Fixed.
-
- Added labels to the upper fields in the hexeditor.
-
- v. 1.01 Rev. 1005 970122
- ------------------------
-
- Fixed bug. When holding RepatFind key down and several words are found, the
- screen may be updated incorrectly. This is only a visual bug.
-
- v. 1.01 Rev. 1006 970127
- ------------------------
-
- Notebook didn't look good on resolution lower than 1024x768. Fixed. Also
- adjusted statusline height.
-
- Added option: Move cursor to end of block when pasted or copied. This is set to
- default to make Kon behave like standard editing procedures.
-
- Fixed scrollbar in hexeditor when loading very large files in hex-editor.
-
- Turn off cursor always when window loses focus.
-
- v. 1.01 Rev. 1007 970129
- ------------------------
-
- Fixed bug in help. Could cause strange errors.
-
- When the code was optimized in rev. 1002, a bug was introduced by mistake. When
- typing in Overwrite-mode, the line end would be overtyped if reached.
-
- v. 1.02 Rev. 1008 970130
- ------------------------
-
- Added simple macro commands to .KBD-files.
-
- v. 1.02 Rev. 1009 970131
- ------------------------
-
- Added commands ScreenOFF and ScreenON for use in macros.
-
- Fixed screen update bug in Macro.
-

- but doesn't quit the editor.
-
- Added option to display a message box when a string is not found.
-
- v. 1.03 Rev. 1010 970222
- ------------------------
-
- Added print support. Kon does not use OS/2's printer drivers, mainly because of
- lack of time on my part to implement it. On the other hand, printing directly to
- a device also gives the opportunity to print to a file very easy, which is
- sometimes very handy. Kon prints both ASCII and Hex. Command: Print.
-
- Also fixed some internals.
-
- v. 1.03 Rev. 1011 970302
- ------------------------
-
- Fixed a few inconsistencies in syntax highlighting. Also added HTML-support.
-
- v. 1.03 Rev. 1012 970302
- ------------------------
-
- Oops! Display bug when marking column-block, due to the change above.
-
- v. 1.04 Rev. 1013 970408
- ------------------------
-
- There's been a long time since I last updated Kon due to that my monitor
- broke down and the fact that I had a lot to to with my studies. The repair seem
- to take a very long time, and I have managed to get a replacement monitor
- meanwhile.
-
- In this release I have fixed some bugs regarding Auto-indent, which could crash
- the editor if Auto-indent was turned of and use-tabs was turned on.
-
- v. 1.04 Rev. 1014 970418
- ------------------------
-

-
- The screen flashed when switching windows when another background than white was
- selected as background color.
-
- In read-only mode, gray out invalid commands in the toolbar.
-
- Added command DateAlpha, which inserts date at current pos as Apr 20, 1997.
-
- v. 1.05 Rev. 1018 970423
- ------------------------
-
- Fixed two bugs:
-
- 1. Converting case on a block on an empty block would crash the
- editor.
-
- 2. Loading Kon with the toolbar enabled and no keyboard file in the
- startup dir would also crash Kon.
-
-

-
- Made Kon handle file and disk errors much better.
-
- Kon no longer destroys extended attributes attached to a file when
