VBX Notes

Manfred Jainz' notes about VBX105:

----------------------------------------------------------------------
                What's new in VBX 1.05?             99/11/08
                -----------------------

 - Call VDE for text editing (if you need word processing, wordwrap)
 - View contents of the paste buffer
 - VBX has become DESQview aware    (thanks to Gary R.Welles)
 - VBX runs now also under XTREE    (thanks to Steve Adelewitz)
 - Revised documentation            (README, COMMAND, online HELP)

 The main new functionality in VBX 1.05 is the possibility to call VDE
with a single keystroke besides VBX's own text editing.

 VBX105 has two new commands in MODE=0 (move cursor mode):

 - "T"  => call VDE to (Text-)edit with mode  /A  and proper margins
to            allow wordwrap

 - "I"  => view (=Inspect) the current contents of the paste buffer

 You may send one of the following four objects to VDE for editing:

   - the entire file,
   - a range of complete lines,
   - the interior of a box or sub-box
   - a marked region.

 For details consult the new chapter C. in COMMAND.VBX .

 Besides that I corrected some minor bugs in the cursor move control in
boxes and marked regions during VBX's own text editing.
 Additionally I found (and corrected) two bugs in VBX's dynamic storage
handling. Under certain conditions VBX assumed lack of memory although
there was plenty, and sometimes the memory allocated to a file was not
freed when you quit from it.
