VDE266.UPD
                                  ----------
                        Update Information - VDE 2.66
                               E. Meyer - 06/88


     NOTE: (11/88)  The versions of VDE and VDM in this library file have now 
been patched to fix the BIOS vector bug described in the file VDE266.FIX.


                               ***** NOTE *****

           Version 2.66 is expected to be the last release of CP/M 
      VDE.  Rash as that claim may sound, consider that:
          (1) All known bugs have now been fixed;
          (2) As many new features have been added as memory 
             limitations will reasonably allow;
          (3) Many people (myself included!) are using CP/M ever less 
             often.
      So: while the MSDOS version will continue to develop, I think 
      CP/M VDE is about finished.  Thanks to all who've helped.

                               ***** **** *****

     This is a quick guide to changes in VDE since version 2.65.  Please read 
VDE.DOC and VINST.DOC for full details.  These changes are relatively minor; 
version 2.66 is being released now in order to tie up some loose ends, and 
wrap up the development of CP/M VDE.  Enjoy!


VDE/VDM:

     Two new Print (^KP) options allow setting the printer top and left 
margin.  At the "Options" prompt, type "T" followed by the number of lines to 
skip, and/or "L" followed by the columns to skip:
              Options: T4L12
will skip 4 lines at the top and 12 columns at the left.  See PRINTING.


VINSTALL:

     You can choose a default setting for the new printer left margin, 
originally 0.  See PRINTER INSTALLATION.


MINOR CHANGES:

     Several small problems have been fixed.  In addition:

     1.  You can now mark the end of a block (^KK) before the start (^KB) has 
been marked.

     2.  ^QT can now be used repeatedly; it does not stall on the specified 
character.  (If the cursor is on a ".", "^QT." will delete to the NEXT one.)

     3.  Tab Set (^OI) "@n" sets tabs at column n+1, 2n+1... (not n, 2n...)




     NOTE: If you also use MSDOS, look for VDE122.ARC.  The DOS version of VDE 
includes powerful new features such as dual-file editing and DOS commands, and 
is fully compatible with the CP/M version.
