Short: V44.5 of the text.datatype replacemnet Author: sebauer@t-online.de (Sebastian Bauer) Uploader: sebauer t-online de (Sebastian Bauer) Type: util/dtype Version: 44.5 Requires: OS 3.0 Architecture: m68k-amigaos Kurz: V44.5 des text.datatypes Ersatz Introduction ~~~~~~~~~~~~ This is a replacement of the text.datatype. It should be compatible with the orginal text.datatypes available within the OS. I wrote it because the orginal text.datatype lacks the support of marking and copying passages. With this version you also can search through the whole text. To popup the search requester press return. Use Tab to search forward and Shift-Tab to search backward. Copyright, Distribution and Disclamer ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This text.datatype is ©2000 by Sebastian Bauer. It is freeware. Feel free to spreat it, as long as all files are included and in an unchanged form. You are not allowed to make profit from its distribution! In no way the author can be made responible for any damage created by the program. Use it at your own risk! How to use install ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Simply copy the text.datatype file to SYS:Classes/DataTypes. You should then reboot the machine. Of course you also can use the included Installer Script to install it History ~~~~~~~ Version 44.5 (27.08.00) - implemented the search feature Version 44.4 (05.08.00) - envvar: TEXTDT_MENUMARKING, if setted to 1, marking is only possible if the menu item is selected before - DTA_TextAttr attribute is supported now Version 44.3 (12.06.00) - bug fix in word marking (reported by many people) - tripple clicking marks the whole line - TDTA_Buffer can be setted by a subclass now - in some cases the last line was not displayed at all - should be more compatible to the old text.datatype now Version 44.2 (20.05.00) - hanged when last line was marked and then copied (reported by Alexander Niven-Jenkins) - did not refresh the contents in simple refresh windows when scrolled (reported by Alexander Niven-Jenkins) - now you can mark and without activating the select mode (suggested by Nils Görs) - a double click will mark wordwise Version 44.1 (30.04.00) - Tabs weren't preserved when copying (reported by Alexander Niven-Jenkins) Version 44.0 (27.03.00) - initial release How can you reach me? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This text.datatype probably has many bugs so send bug reports to sebauer@t-online.de or Sebastian.Bauer@in.stud.tu-ilmenau.de Address: Sebastian Bauer Neustädter Str. 50 07768 Kahla Visit my homepage at http://home.t-online.de/home/sebauer/ (german version) http://home.t-online.de/home/sebauer/english.html (english version) Here you can find the latest version of the text.datatype but also other things for Amiga, for example SimpleFind3, SimpleHTML or the Freeciv port. __ / / __ / / Only Amiga makes it possible... \ \/ / \__/
