Thank you for purchasing CygnusEd Professional Release 2! Some of the new features of CEDPro2: Release 2: o Significantly upgraded ARexx support. o Significantly upgraded Macro facility. o Unlimited Undo/Redo. o Alternate fonts allowed. o Start up macro now supported. o Turbo replace mode. o Display ASCII values mode. o All new requester library. o All new 250 page manual with index and all ARexx commands documented. o Read only views. o User definable max scroll setting. o Improved DOS support (good bye -keepio!) o User definable screen colors. o Additional file save modes. o Preserves DOS Script bit. o Better word handling. o Support for Modula 2 (Jump To Byte) o Improved 68030 support. o General improvements and fixes. Release 2.2: o Amiga-" when used inside of macros doesn't cause an infinite loop. o Block To Search Buffer command added. o Status line updates properly when in Page mode. o CB2RX program added to provide AmigaDOS clipboard support. o Second printing of manual includes minor improvements. The following features didn't make it into the current manual: Block To Search Buffer This command causes what is currently in the paste buffer to replace the search string. You can then cause this data to be sought for by using the Repeat Search Forwards or Repeat Search Backwards command. This command was added to make it easier to search for control characters such as NULL. Please see Search-For-NULL.ced in the REXX directory of the distribution disk for an example of how this command is useful. Additional Hint For Creative ARexx Quoting Pleas see down-paragraph.ced located in the REXX directory of the distribution disk for an example of how make creative quoting for some strings a little easier. CB2RX This is an auxilliary program which can be used to add AmigaDOS Clipboard device support to any program which speaks ARexx. THIS PROGRAM IS PROVIDED AS-IS AND IS NOT A SUPPORTED PRODUCT. It is freely redistributable. CB2RX can found in the C directory of the CEDPro2 distribution disk. It can be copied to your C: directory and run from the STARTUP-SEQUENCE. NOTE: Many people assign the V1.3 CLIPS: directory to RAM: or someother memory resident disk device. Doing so makes for real fast clipboard operations but will cause fragmented memory since the information in the clipboard will be sitting in memory. Our advice: Don't assign CLIPS: to a memory based device. Under V1.2 and earlier, clips always go in DEVS:Clipboards. If this is in memory, then the same word of caution applies. EXTRA SPECIAL NOTE: We believe the AmigaDOS clipboard device has a bug which causes it to lose 536 bytes every time it is written to and then closed. This can be duplicated with the Commodore NotePad program (without even using CB2RX). IE: Run NotePad, put something in the clipboard, exit NotePad, and poof, you've lost 536 bytes. UNTIL CBM FIXES THE CLIPBOARD, WE SUGGEST ONLY LIMITED USE! (They have been notified of the problem). CB2RX supports three commands: 1. PASTE This places the contents of the specified AmigaDOS Clipboard into the AREXX result variable. If the specified Clipboard is empty or does not exist, the result variable will contain ``RESULT''. 2. CUT This writes the specified string to the given AmigaDOS Clipboard. 3. QUIT This causes CB2RX to exit. DON'T SEND ANYMORE COMMANDS TO IT AFTER ASKING IT TO EXIT UNLESS YOU START IT UP AGAIN!!! CB2RX will also exit if it receives a CONTROL-C signal. Please refer to the examples provided: toclip.ced writes to the clipboard. fromclip.ced reads from the clipboard. Interaction With GOMF It has been found that on system in which GOMF is running, the level 6 interrupt vector gets tromped. So far, despite the attempts by hundreds of people to make it happen, the problem has never occured on a system which was NOT running GOMF. Therefore, to the best of our knowledge, we believe this to be a GOMF problem. Our advice: Don't use GOMF. However, we will keep an open mind. Anyone with new information on this problem is encouraged to contact ASDG Incorporated. Supreme
