Hello there Atari-User!

(New: Released on 30.12.1992)

This editor is Public Domain and will be an integral part of GFA Basic 4.0.

Now, what has been done ? The latest version is undoubtedly smaller at     
148,932 Bytes. It is now usable in all possible resolutions: ST & TT Low, 
Mid, High & with graphic cards. Also, it can be used together with a single-
tasking TOS or with MultiTOS & MiNT. Furthermore, it will recognize GDOS
fonts (although at the moment only non-proportional ones !)

Brief instructions:

By double-clicking on the GFA (Editor) icon, you can create a new editing
window. At the present time, you can have up to 256 editing windows even
though this really doesn't make sense, except for networks.

Also, editing windows can be deleted: simply by dragging the appropriate icon
to the rubbish bin.

When leaving the program, you will be automatically reminded to save any files
that have been created or changed. Also, the editor will remember the last
path and file extension that was used i.e.: *.TXT or *.INF or whatever the
current setting was. *.AC? or *.* are also valid. The extension can be set via
the Options menu and is entered as: AC?, *, TXT, LST ... etc. (You can also
use Alternate-T as a keyboard short cut).

The Clipboard:

You may copy to, or read from the clipboard (with Control K or Control š
respectively). This will write to or read from the file SCRAP.TXT. You can
also use the normal ATARI & Macintosh shortcuts:

Cut/Copy/Paste (^X, ^C, ^V) and the other usual shortcut ^Y, to delete a line,
will also be recognized.

The 3D-Look is very pretty, but it requires a color palette of at least 16
colors to be available.  ST Low, TT Low, TT Mid  & graphic cards can make use
of this. However, in ST High, TT High and other monochrome resolutions it can
be tiresome, since text is no longer easily readable. The others will appear
exactly the same as MultiTOS from Eric Smith and Atari. So far, the About,
Help and "Display"  dialogs have been converted. The rest are coming soon!
Also, different languages will be catered for in the pull down menus. This has
already present in the source code, but has not yet been implemented. A
"Language" setting will be available, which will then come into operation the
next time the program is executed.

MfG, Filipe.

P.S.: The new, shorter Source is better to download (148,932 Bytes instead of
more than 200 KB) and is ideal for Atari computers with smaller memories.

Happy new year !
