v1.60
-----
! Multitasking routines which were introduced in last version have been

environments.
! IceEdit would not correctly read in the true QBBS MSG.INF file, as format
differs slightly from the RemoteAccess format. Fixed.
* Option added to allow the sysop to configure whether or not pipecodes
should be left as normal (TG users), or converted to ansi (RA users).

and from areaname when the main program is run (TG users).

filename is now hardcoded as ICETAG.[group]

off.
* IceEdit will now terminate with an errorlevel - 0 if message was saved
successfully; 1 if message was aborted.

kludges to quoted text (ie. QBBS and TG)

-----

* PgUp & PgDn fixed in Quote window.
* When you hit enter in the quote window, the text would be placed in your
main editing buffer but intermittantly wouldn't be drawn on the screen.
Fixed.
* IceEdit used to leave an "In Use" type flag in it's directory if it
crashed, resulting in failed attempts to execute IceEdit once system
was rebooted. Fixed.
* Menu option system completely redesigned; lightbar selector as well as
hotkeys are available.
* Lightbar color configuration added.
* Color configuration routines in EditCfg reorganized.
* IceEdit will now keep the original "Quote Initials" when it reformats

header information ("IceEdit Tagline File - By Jeremy Landvoigt") as a

v1.20
-----
* The node number which the user is currently logged into is now displayed
on the main editing screen.
* IceEdit will now report that one node is in use if the program is accessed
with the same node number in a different window, rather than reporting
RTE #162.
* Quote Buffer expanded to hold as much quoted text as there is, rather
than the 300 line limit.
* Quote routines re-written to allow the user to choose line to be quoted
without scrolling the entire buffer up or down every time up or down is
hit.
* Up to ten random taglines can be selected when user opts to save the
message, rather than only displaying a single tagline.
* Message override file option created so that SysOps can toggle taglines,
ANSi, Censoring, etc for specific message bases.

scrolling window rather than five pages.

115 macros).
* Tagline Manager added to Add, Delete, Import, and Edit available taglines.
* If quoting text, and quoted text exceeded the screen length, IceEdit
would change pages once quote selector was exited. In addition, the page
change would not position the cursor directly below quoted text. Fixed.
* Routines added to reformat quoted text. Some editors (such as DOS EDIT)
when used in conjunction with BlueWave cause messages to be afflicted
with what is commonly known as the "Chainsaw Effect", caused by Hard
Returns. IceEdit will now reformat quoted text to remove this annoying
problem.

or less minutes left by emitting a double-beep (remote end only), making
time limit indicator blink, and giving a short message at the bottom
of the screen.

cursor keys around in this mode. Four different line styles are available.

v0.90
-----
* After a word wrap occurred, the cursor would just forward and backward with
every keypress. Fixed.

line, the cursor would "slide" up the left margin. Fixed.

lockups on some computers.
* IceEdit can now limit the number of quotes per message to prevent "quote-
happy" people from quoting excessively.
* IceEdit can now limit the percentage of Uppercase text in a message to

messages.

UpperCase Text. Fixed.
* Quick-keys added. /A to quick-abort, /Q to quote text, /S to quick-save.
* PageUp & PageDown keys would place the cursor either three lines down from
the top or three lines up from the bottom. Fixed.
* If a key was typed when cursor was on the last character of a line of text,
the last character would be deleted and replaced with the new character,
instead of being pushed forward to make room for the new character. Fixed.
* Taglines are no longer stored as text, but are stored as a datafile that
can be compiled using EditCfg. This has been done to improve speed and
efficiency.
* Replacement strings added that can be used in taglines, macros, and SysOp
Function keys. Eg: @T = Current Time, @D = Today's Date, .. etc..
