Changes for vile 7.4 (released Fri May 1, 1998)

 (tom) 980501
	+ change table lookups in match_complex() and global_val_init() to
	  work with CSet.
 	+ change WATCHTYPE from an enum to an unsigned int, since TurboC did
	  not accept that in prototypes.
	+ increase LEN_BUFFER in mktbls.c to accommodate renaming of VI_NL
	  (caused compile problem with Solaris 2.5.1 cc, but is still limited
	  to allow test-compiles with TurboC).
	+ make declarations of x_watchfd() x_unwatchfd() consistent, to compile
	  with unproto on SunOS 4.x

 (kev) 980429 (za)
	+ finderr.c (predefined): Add hgrep pattern to the predefined
	  regular expressions for the error finder.  (Patch from Clark
	  Morgan.)
	+ hgrep.pl: Added Clark's error finder comment.
	  Removed comment about me about to make massive changes which'll
	  change the interface drastically.
	  (hgrep): Don't search in files named 'tags'.  (Suggested by
	  Clark Morgan.)
	+ eval.c, proto.h (stenv): New function for setting vile's
	  variables (from perl or whereever).
	+ perl.xs (working): Added OPT_WORKING ifdefs.  (Description
	  of problem from Clark Morgan.)
	  (set): Handle perl variables as well as modes.
	  (buffers): New method which retrieves a list of all buffers.

 (tom) 980429 (z)
 	+ trim trailing whitespace from .c and .h files
	+ implement font-selection in winvile, added to control menu.  This
	  works passably, though you must press ^L to repaint if the character
	  size does not change. (Italic fonts are clipped a little also, but usable).
	+ add logic to ntwinio.c so that winvile user can use control modifier
	  to mouse button to perform rectangular selection, as in xvile
	  (requested by Richard A Ward <wardra@rss.rockwell.com>).
	+ correct ":e!" command so that if user asks to reread the unnamed
	  buffer, that vile simply clears it, rather than passing a null
	  filename to readin() (reported by Keith Williams
	  <keith@archelon-us.com>).
	+ rename symbol NL to VI_NL, and the termcap symbols in tcap.c
	  to use "tc_" prefix to avoid conflicts with curses.h on OSF/1 3.2
	+ add pas-filt.c and corresponding vile-pas-filt program (request by
	  Radek Liboska <liboska@tereza.uochb.cas.cz>)
	+ modify c-filt.c so that it reads all command-parameters as keyword
	  files.
	+ correct two errors in c-filt.c (did not handle continued string
	  literals - reported by Clark Morgan - and did not handle preprocessor
	  lines with leading whitespace.
	+ correct minor formatting nit in [Settings] buffer, adding a blank
	  line between the multi-column and single column buffer settings.
	+ make a more-useful message when describe-function is applied to
	  a user-defined procedure.
 	> patch by Clark Morgan:
	+ Winvile gets its own unique $progname value.
	+ The ';' register is made accessible to all versions of vile.  The
	  availability of the ';' and '.' registers to all versions of vile is
	  documented in vile.hlp .
	+ New win32 mode called "scroll-pause" added, which inserts a small
	  delay in the console editor's scrolling code if required by user's
	  video HW.  Documented in vile.hlp .

 (kev) 980427 (y)
	+ history.c (WillGlue): Allow '\r' to be glued.
	  (edithistory): Transform '\n' into '\r' for insertion into the
	  history buffer.
	+ input.c (eol_history): Allow '\r' to match '\n'.
	+ modes.c (choice_to_code): Do case insensitive comparisons.  This
	  permits TRUE and FALSE to be used as boolean values as well as
	  'true' and 'false'.  (The perl interface was being given the
	  uppercase values to return.  Though it could be argued that I
	  should maybe convert these to 0 and 1...)
	  (adjvalueset, set_mode_value): Split functionality of adjvalueset
	  into adjvalueset which (still) does the prompting and the
	  new function set_mode_value which does the setting.  Having
	  a setter which does no prompting makes it easier to call from
	  other places (like the perl interface.)
	+ proto.h (set_mode_value): New declaration.
	+ perl.xs (perl_prompt, perldo_prompt): More or less renamed
	  from the old perl and perldo.  perl and perldo still exist,
	  but they are small wrappers which make managing the history
	  easier.
	  (current_position): Alias for dot.
	  (READLINE, mlreply, mlreply_no_opts, mlreply_file, mlreply_dir):
	  Put calls to hst_glue() in so that the history mechansism will
	  work right.
	  (Vile::set, Vile::get, Vile::Buffer::set, Vile::Buffer::get):
	  New methods.

	  Brendan O'Dea contributed the following changes to perl.xs:

	    I have nuked the original perldo/replace_line mechanism
	    and arranged such that both perl and perldo feed a string
	    to eval to the same [static] function after getting the
	    user's input.

	    The perldo wrapper massages the string into an implicit
	    loop if required in pretty much the same way as Perl does
	    for the -n/-p options.

	    Additionally I've modified the way PRINT works to the
	    minibuffer so that it handles embedded newlines and joins
	    on $,

	    The options format is almost the same as used by perl, and
	    defaults to `-lpi' which was how it originally worked.
	    Example:

		:r $MAIL :%perldo print if /^From /^M-00ni

	    Two minor problems are that the history pastes the options
	    onto the command, and there is a minor glitch with `-lpi'
	    which causes a trailing newline to be appended to the
	    buffer.

 (tom) 980426 (x)
	+ modify :-line line specification parsing so that statements such
	  as
		:.,.+2,+3,-4;99p
	  work as in vi.  Both the repetition for commas and the character
	  class for semicolon were missing.
	+ modify :-line line specification parsing so that statements such
	  as
		:1,w filename
		:.w filename
	  work as in vi.  Vi accepts an empty string (e.g., between the "," and
	  "w") as ".", and does not require that both limits in a range be
	  given.  Previous behavior of vile would prompt, in the latter
	  example, when the space after "w" is typed, for the number of lines.
 	+ corrected :-line parser bug which caused state hang, e.g, when
	  typing
		<esc>:a<backspace>1<return>
	  vile would be expecting a command verb when the '1' is read, so
	  it would only allow the user to abort the command.
	+ modify end-character parameter of readpattern so that it is not
	  necessary to escape a '?' when doing a reverse search.
	+ correct logic of set_rect_columns() so that reversed rectangular
	  selection (where DOT > MK) gives the right number of columns
	  (reported by Kuntal M. Daftary).
	+ remove spurious comma in enum WATCHTYPE (reported by Larry Gensch)
 	+ update README.MENU with "cmd" keywords for the examples of search
	  menu entries.  Other minor documentation updates.
	+ tested xvile with ElectricFence, doalloc and Purify.  (The problems
	  with 'working' mode did not appear on SunOS or Solaris, but did on
	  Linux).  Minor fixes to ifdef's to build the test configuration.
	+ remove chgd_fences callback from the newer regular-expression
	  fences modes, since that function applies only to fence-pairs.
	+ modify 'working' mode so that xvile simply sets the watch cursor.
	  Though the "working..." message would be nice to have, it introduces
	  problems with X Windows to cause events which may interrupt the
	  normal event processing.  The new scheme sets a flag which is tested
	  in the event loop; the watch cursor will therefore not appear
	  immediately, but it is still automatic.  (prompted in part by a
	  bug report by Mike Peercy <peercy@sierravista.com>).

 (tom) 980424 (w)
	+ make xvile menu entries "work" which rely on executing from the
	  :-line, by using "cmd" prefix for "apropos", and new function
	  &gts for describe-key.  (The "cmd" is a kludge - we should revisit
	  this later, since it does not help if we want to process parameters
	  from the macro before running out & reverting to the :-line).
	+ modify describe-key so that it prompts for a keycode which is not
	  mapped.
	+ add new function &gts, which prompts for a keycode which is not
	  mapped, e.g., "#1" for function-key-1.
	+ add note to vile.hlp about the use of backtic in shell expressions
	  (patch by Clark Morgan).
	+ revised fences so that the C-preprocessor and C-comment functions
	  are parameterized in terms of regular expressions, making one mode
	  per expression.  As such, they are reusable for majormodes.
	+ remove logic from x11.c for is_color_cursor, to make cursor visible
	  on reverse-video areas.
	+ add new mode mini-hilite, which controls the appearance of the :-line
	  when user toggles into mini-edit mode.
	+ make ^G toggle in the :-line editing rebindable, as the character
	  'mini-edit'.
	+ correct logic for ^G toggle so that user can insert that character
	  into a reply by quoting it.
	+ correct core-dump due to vtinit() calling 'imworking()', which was
	  happening when executing a command such as ":!resize -s 24 80".
	+ correct core-dump when user types ^G^V in a :-line prompt (reported
	  by Shawn Halpenny <malachai@iname.com>).

 (kev) 980422 (v)
	+ api.c (curwp_visible): Renamed from curwp_after.  No longer static.
	  (linsert_chars): Don't suppress the newline when that's the
	  only character being inserted.  Thanks to Brendan O'Dea for
	  providing me with a test case which demonstrated this bug.
	  (api_motion): Set clexec and discmd to avoid printing on the
	  message line.
	  (api_swscreen, api_update): Don't detach the fake windows anymore.
	+ api.h (curwp_visible): Declared.
	+ estruct.h (is_fake_window): New macro.  Changed all callers
	  of is_fake_win() (which was a function) to call is_fake_window
	  instead.
	  (is_visible_window, for_each_visible_window): New macros.
	+ buffer.c, display.c, exec.c, file.c, finderr.c, history.c,
	  ibmpc.c, modes.c, oneliner.c, select.c, window.c, x11.c
	  (for_each_visible_window): Changed some occurrences of
	  for_each_window to for_each_visible_window.  Any code which
	  really needs to look at all the windows, whether fake or
	  visible still uses for_each_window.
	+ perl.xs (keystroke): Make sure that curwp doesn't point
	  at a fake window before attempting to get a keystroke.
	  Also fixed the nonwaiting version so that it works.
	  (beep): New method.
	+ proto.h, window.c (is_fake_win, detach_fake_windows,
	  reattach_fake_windows): Removed these functions.
	+ shell.pl: Extended it's functionality.  It now includes enough
	  terminal emulation to do some simple line editing.  (Enough for
	  bash to work in vi mode.)
	+ window.c (push_fake_win, pop_fake_win): Don't increment/decrement
	  the b_nwnd field of a buffer when pushing/popping.  This field
	  indicates the number of visible WINDOW structures that a buffer
	  has.  (#if 0'd out for now.  Need to remove altogether at some
	  future date.)
	+ x11.c (grip_moved): Fixed both OpenLook and Motif versions so
	  that they don't delete the window when it is shrunk to a size
	  less than 1 line.  Although this make a certain amount of sense,
	  it can be quite annoying to a user to lose a window from a slip
	  of the hand.  Note that there are still some problems with this
	  code.  Windows that are made really small don't always end up
	  really small (reported by Paul Askounis).
	  (x_watchfd): Cast third argument of XtAppAddInput to an XtPointer.

 (kev) 980419 (u)
 	+ ansi.c, borland.c, dumbterm.c, ibmpc.c, ntconio.c, ntwinio.c,
	  os2vio.c, tcap.c, termio.c, vmsvt.c (null_t_watchfd,
	  null_t_unwatchfd): Added to term structure initializations.
	+ estruct.h (WATCHTYPE): New enumerated type.
	  (t_watchfd, t_unwatchfd): New fields in the TERM structure.
	  (TTwatchfd, TTunwatchfd): New macros for calling the watch/unwatch
	  functions.
	+ makefile.in (watch.c, watch.o): Added to the appropriate targets.
	+ api.c (linsert_chars): Made more efficient.  Handle newlines
	  at end of buffer properly.
	  (api_gotoline): Allow DOT to be position at end of buffer.
	  (api_motion): Fixed bug which was calling early return.  (Thanks
	  to Sean Ahern for finding this one.)
	  (api_swscreen): Detach/reattach fake windows.
	  (api_update): New function.
	  (propagate_dot): New function.
	  (api_command_cleanup): Call propagate_dot; don't do this work
	  directly anymore.
	+ api.h (api_update): Declared.
	+ buffer.c (renamebuffer): New function.
	  (namebuffer): Moved some of the functionality to renamebuffer.
	  Call renamebuffer to do the work.
	+ perl.xs (GIMME_V, G_VOID): Define in terms of GIMME and G_SCALAR
	  if not already defined.  (Thanks to Brendan O'Dea for pointing
	  this out.)
	  (perl): Don't do initializations/cleanups of Vile::current_buffer
	  if called recursively.
	  (perl_init): Cause Vile::Buffer::PRINTF to be defined.
	  (svcurbuf_set): Put return statement in.
	  (stringify_coderef, perl_free_callback, svgetline, svgetregion,
	  svgettors): New functions.
	  (INITMESSAGE, ENDMESSAGE): Removed these nvi remnants.
	  (PRINT): Handle input record separator and input field separator.
	  (READLINE): Rewritten to handle the record separator correctly;
	  call svgetline, svgetregion, or svgettors as appropriate.
	  (attribute_cntl_a_sequences): Pass the region shape when calling
	  attribute_cntl_a_sequences_over_region().
	  (fetch, attribute, buffername, filename): New methods.
	  (Warn): Minor cleanup.
	  (mlreply, mlreply_no_opts, mlreply_file, mlreply_dir):  Allow
	  either a TRUE or FALSE status to set the return value to a
	  string.  The other status codes cause undef to be returned.
	  Thanks to Brendan O'Dea for diagnosis and patch.
	  (command): Adjust the way docmd is called to match new extra
	  parameter introduced in patch t (or thereabouts).
	  (keystroke, working, update, watchfd, unwatchfd) New methods.
	  Also throughout this file (perl.xs), there was a lot of minor
	  reformatting.  A few new comments were even added.
	+ proto.h (renamebuffer, attributeregion_over_region, null_t_watchfd,
	  null_t_unwatchfd, watchfd, unwatchfd, dowatchcallback,
	  detach_fake_windows, reattach_fake_windows): Declared.
	  (attribute_cntl_a_sequences_over_region): New parameter.
	+ select.c (attributeregion_over_region): New function.
	  (attribute_cntl_a_sequences_over_region): New parameter for passing
	  the shape of the region.  Use shape parameter for setting region
	  up properly.
	+ shell.pl, tailf.pl: New example perl scripts.  Not really complete
	  yet, but they demo some of the new facilities.  (Maybe we should
	  create a demo directory?)
	+ watch.c: New file containing fd watching framework.  Will probably
	  add timer management here as well.
	+ window.c (detach_fake_windows, reattach_fake_windows): New functions.
	  Actually, I'm not convinced anymore that this is the right way to
	  do it and these will probably go away.
	+ x11.c (x_watchfd, x_unwatchfd, watched_input_callback): New
	  functions.

 (tom) 980417 (t)
	+ modify interface of 'docmd()' to allow caller to set clexec, allowing
	  menu.c to invoke this and cause commands to prompt interactively.
	+ modify 'get_executable_dir()' to use 'flook()' to deduce xvile's
	  location, so that new_vile menu-entry works when the full path is not
	  given (reported by Lance Heller <lheller@dart.wcom.com>).
	+ restore search-behavior on DOS, NT and OS/2 for startup file.  These
	  systems have no $HOME, so we look along the $PATH.
	+ correct/extend configure test for isready_c macro:  add a case for
	  UWIN, check for end of list, add a definition for SYS_WINNT.

 (tom) 980414 (s)
 	+ correct change to dofile in 7.3o, which caused vile to discard
	  the startup file after processing it if it were specified on the
	  command-line (reported by Sean Ahern, some input by Brendan O'Dea).
	+ modify configure script, adding test for stdio structs that control
	  the isready_c macro, making this handle the case for SCO UW ver 7
	  (requested by Clark Morgan).
	+ modify configure script to add Perl's link-prefix (patch by Brendan
	  O'Dea).
	> patch by Clark Morgan:
	+ turn OPT_W32PIPES on (I modified to condition it on SYS_WINNT).
	+ add entry to error finder to support perl 5 diagnostics
	+ create temporary filenames in w32pipe.c with an API that
	  preferentially honors the current settings of TMP and TEMP.
	+ add back Win32-specific comments to c-filt.c
	+ fix a bug in c-filt.c that caused coloring to go south if a string
	  literal ended with \\.  E.g., the statement:
		char *x = "\\";
	  would cause almost all syntax coloring following this var declaration
	  to fail.

 (tom) 980412 (r)
 	+ modify configure script and makefile.in to allow for DOS-style
	  suffixes (e.g., ".exe"), needed for OS/2 EMX.
 	+ fix pathname support for OS/2 EMX by allowing MS-DOS-style drive
	  letters (estruct.h, path.c).
 	+ suppress 'working...' message while writing to a pipe (reported by
	  Clark Morgan).
 	+ add rule to make c-filt to makefile.djg
 	+ add writePipe() function to make MS-DOS version able to write to a
	  pipe.
	+ use backslash-form for path in c-filt.c on Win32 (Clark Morgan).
	> clipboard support for vile/winvile under Win32 (Clark Morgan):
	+ Permits Win32 users to copy the unnamed register contents to the
	  Windows clipboard.  Functionality is bound to Alt+Insert.
	+ Adds stubs for two additional clipboard-related features.  Stubs are
	  bound to Ctl+Insert and Shift+Insert.
	+ Adds a new Win32 source file (w32cbrd.c).
	+ Revises the "Win32 specifics" section of the help file to talk about
	  Win32 features.
	> new implementation of w32pipe.c (Clark Morgan):
	+ reset ukb to zero in filterregion() to avoid having insfile() insert
	  file/pipe input into a kill register, rather than the current buffer
	  on platforms where softfork() is faked.
	+ w32pipe.c module documentation lists limitation of native win32
	  pipes.
	+ winvile.exe and vile.exe are now built with thread-safe libraries,
	  because
	+ spawn.c's filterregion() routine has been modified to create separate
	  writer and reader threads in a Win32 env.

 (kev) 980409 (q)
	+ api.c (api_setup_fake_win): Added another parameter to this
	  function which controls whether the deferred deletes get
	  done or not.  Fixed all callers.
	  (api_dotinsert, api_dotgline, api_setup_fake_win, api_bp2vbp,
	  api_command_cleanup): Added code for doing deferred deletes.
	  (api_delregion, api_motion): New functions.
	  (api_edit): Rewritten to better deal with anonymous buffers.
	  (api_swscreen): Permit oldsp to be NULL.
	+ api.c, api.h, perl.xs (SCR, VileBuf): Renamed SCR to VileBuf.
	  Other renamings done as well so that names of local variables
	  make more sense.
	  (api_dotgline, READ): Added new (output) parameter to
	  api_dotgline which indicates if a newline is needed or not.
	+ map.c, proto.h (mapped_ungotc_avail): New function.
	+ perl.xs (svStartLine, svStopLine, svScreenId, svcurscr):
	  Eliminated these static globals.  More importantly, this
	  means that $VI::StartLine, $VI::StopLine, $VI::ScreenId,
	  and $curscr are no longer available from perl.
	  (svcurbuf): New static global which plays a similar role to
	  the now defunct svcurscr.
	  (svcurbuf_accessors): new static global variable.
	  (newVBrv): Renamed from newVIrv.  Also, no blesses the object
	  it creates into Vile::Buffer instead of VI.
	  (perl): Don't call getregion unless haveregion is non-NULL.
	  Fixes a nasty infinite loop bug in getregion().  Also
	  removed initialization of svStartLine, svStopLine, etc.
	  (VI, Vile, Vile::Buffer): The VI package is no more.  Everything
	  has been renamed to go into either the Vile package or the
	  Vile::Buffer package.
	  (svcurbuf_set): Magically called when $Vile::current_buffer gets
	  set.
	  (perl_init): Nuked references to svStartLine, svStopLine, etc.
	  Also added magic to svcurbuf so that svcurbuf_set is called
	  whenever $vile::current_buffer is assigned to from Perl.
	  (perl_eval): Or'd in the G_KEEPERR flag in the call to
	  perl_eval_sv.  The lack of this flag was preventing error messages
	  from getting printed.
	  (current_buffer): New method in both Vile and Vile::Buffer.
	  (Msg, AppendLine, DelLine, GetLine, GetLines, SetLine, InsertLine,
	  LastLine, SwitchScreen): Nuked.
	  (PRINT, READLINE): Documented.
	  (insert): Alias for PRINT.
	  (new, edit): edit is an alias for new and new was renamed from Edit.
	  (setregion): Documentation updates; motions as regions.
	  (delete, motion): New methods.
	  (command): Now a method in both Vile and Vile::Buffer.
	+ ptypemap (T_VileBuf): Renamed from T_VI.  Slight change in message
	  when buffer no longer exists.
	+ region.c (getregion): Prevent infinite loop when MK and DOT are in
	  different buffers.  Print a BUG: message when this happens.
	+ select.c (sel_extend): Added FIXME comment at approximate place in
	  the code where we should check to make sure DOT and MK are in the
	  same buffer.  (BTW, to reproduce this bug (where they aren't the
	  same), get into xvile, split the screen and put a different buffer
	  in each. Now click with the mouse twice, very rapidly, each click
	  falling on alternate sides of the middle mode line.  After doing
	  this, DOT will be in one buffer and MK in the other.  There's
	  probably other places that need to fixed too.
	+ x11.c (x_preparse_args): When adding the event handler, for
	  x_process_event, or in (Button1MotionMask | Button3MotionMask)
	  instead of ButtonMotionMask.  It seems that my X server on linux
	  generates motion events regardless of whether any mouse buttons
	  are pressed when ButtonMotionMask is used.  I think this is
	  actually a bug in the X server, but the above is a more precise
	  way of saying what we really want to do anyway.

 (kev) 980403 (p)
	+ hgrep.pl, glob2re.pl, visit.pl: New files which implement
	  a recursive grep with hypertext links in perl.
 	+ api.c (api_command_cleanup): Fixed bug in which DOT
	  was being propogated to the fake windows instead of
	  the real ones.  (Which is a pretty useless thing to do.)
	  (api_swscreen): Added big comment noting problems with
	  calling api_command_cleanup.
	+ cmdtbl (exechypercmd, showhypercmd, operattrhc): New
	  commands related to hypertext commands.
	+ estruct.h (AREGION): Added new field ar_hypercmd which
	  points at a hypertext command.
	+ select.c (hypercmd): New static variable used to communicate
	  the hypertext command string to attributeregion().
	  (free_attribs, free_attrib, sel_begin, selectregion,
	  attribute_region): All modified slightly to deal with the
	  new ar_hypercmd field in the AREGION structure.
	  (attribute_cntl_a_sequences): Look for an H followed by
	  the hypertext command, followed by a null character in
	  the ^A sequences.
	  (attributehyperregion, operattrhc, hyperspray, doexechypercmd,
	  exechypercmd, doshowhypercmd, showhypercmd): New functions.
	+ vile.hlp: Added new sections "Writing your own filters" and
	  "Hypertext".
	+ x11.c (multi_click): Added code to execute hypertext command,
	  when present, on a double click.

 (tom) 980331 (o)
 	+ change logic that determines whether to set dos mode for a file so
	  that .vilerc (or vile.rc) and source'd files are treated specially.
	  For those files, all lines must end with ^M's to set dos mode
	  automatically when they are read.  This will reduce the chances of
	  trimming ^M's from map commands.
	+ modify dofile() function, used to load/execute .vilerc and source'd
	  files, to check first for buffer with the same filename.  This fixes
	  a problem which would cause vile to allocate more than one buffer for
	  .vilerc when an error is encountered.
	+ use new function tb_insert() rather than tb_put() to insert strings
	  for expand-chars.  The tb_put() function truncates the buffer at the
	  location of the new character, and does not work well for inline
	  editing.

 (kev) 980330 (n)
 	+ api.c (api_gotoline): Make sure that we can move off of
	  buf_head if presently on it.  (This fixes a bug in which
	  it was sometimes impossible to move dot.  setrange also
	  exhibited a similar bug.)
	+ cmdtbl (perl): Allow perl to be run in view mode.
	+ perl.xs (perl): Set/restore clexec, discmd, and isnamedcmd
	  so that calls to the various mlreply functions will work
	  from within perl.  (Thanks to Sean Ahern for bug reports
	  and patches.)
	  (perl_init): Call lengthen_path to expand ~ to the user's
	  home directory.  (Thanks again to Sean Ahern for bug
	  reports and patches.)
	  (sv2linenum, sv2offset): New functions for converting
	  '$' and '$$' to either line number or offsets within
	  lines.
	  (VileCommand): Renamed to command.
	  (inplace_edit, setregion, dot, mlreply, mlreply_no_opts,
	  mlreply_file, mlreply_dir): Added documentation.
	  (setregion, dot): Handle '$' and '$$'.
	  (setregion): Return the buffer object in a scalar context.
	  (attribute_cntl_a_sequences, unmark): New functions.
	+ proto.h (attribute_cntl_a_sequences_over_region): Declared.
	+ select.c (attribute_cntl_a_sequences_over_region): New
	  function.

 (kev) 980324 (m)
	+ api.h (dot_changed): New field in SCR structure.
 	+ api.c (api_gotoline): Prevent enormous amounts of looping
	  for outrageous count values.
	  (api_dotgline): Fixed bug which caused <$curscr> operator
	  to go into infinite loop.
	  (api_command_cleanup): Added code for propagating DOT.
	  (api_bp2sp): Initialize dot_changed field.
	+ perl.xs (perl_init): Add our own search paths to @INC.
	  (dot): New method for getting/setting DOT.
	  (GetUserInput): Removed.
	+ proto.h (is_fake_win): Declared.
	+ window.c (is_fake_win): New function.

 (kev) 980321 (l)
 	+ api.c (api_setup_fake_win, api_dotgline, api_command_cleanup,
	  api_bp2sp):  Rearranged initialization of DOT so that it will
	  be done conditionally in api_dotgline.  This fixes a nasty
	  bug in which lines could get added to the wrong buffer.  It
	  also allows perl functions to be written which look at the
	  current location of DOT and possibly do something with it.
	  Before, we were always setting it to the start of the region
	  (which may not have a lot of relevance).
	+ api.h (SCR): New field dot_inited.
	+ perl.xs (setregion): Set dot_inited field.
	+ x11.c (atom_CLIPBOARD, x_preparse_args): New atom; initialize.
	  (x_get_selection, x_paste_selection, x_get_clipboard_text,
	  x_convert_selection, x_lose_selection, own_selection,
	  x_own_selection, copy_to_clipboard, paste_from_clipboard,
	  x_process_event): Handle CLIPBOARD selections as well as
	  primary selections.
	+ cmdtbl (copy_to_clipboard, paste_from_clipboard): New
	  commands.
	+ estruct.h (CLIP_KREG): New kill register.
	  (NKREGS, SEL_KREG, KEYST_KREG): Renumbered to account for
	  new kill register, CLIP_KREG.
	+ line.c (index2reg): Represent the clipboard kill register
	  with a ';'.
	+ vile.hlp: New documentation about X11 CLIPBOARD selections.

 (tom) 980321 (k)
	+ correct logic in tcap.c so that visual-matches works for a specific
	  color (reported by Kuntal M. Daftary).
 	+ add test for Xp library, needed to link with RedHat Motif 2.1
	  (reported by Richard <rruth@studio.disney.com>).
	+ add configure option --with-startup-path to allow installer to
	  customize the $startup-path used by vile.
	+ change Unix lib directory (i.e., location of vile.hlp) to
	  $(prefix)/shared/vile.  The older location, $(exec_prefix)/lib, is
	  still in the $startup-path, but vile.hlp will not be installed
	  there.
	+ remove config.cache at the start of configure script, since we use it
	  only for problem reporting.
	+ ifdef'd out w32pipe code, but make it available for further
	  development as OPT_W32PIPES (recommended by Clark Morgan).
	+ minor fixes/resync for configure macros CF_CHECK_ERRNO,
	  CF_DISABLE_ECHO, CF_FIND_LIBRARY, CF_NCURSES_LIBS and
	  CF_NCURSES_VERSION.

 (kev) 980320 (j)
 	+ api.c (linsert_chars): Rewritten both for efficiency and
	  so that the MARK at the end of the region stays put when
	  doing something like:

		$curscr->inplace_edit(1);
		while (<$curscr>) { s/foo/bar/g; print; }

	  (setup_fake_win): No longer static.  Renamed to
	  api_setup_fake_win.  Also set DOT here to the beginning of
	  the region.
	  (api_mark_iterator): New function.
	  (api_gotoline): No longer static.  Also renamed from
	  _api_gotoline.  Fixed all callers.
	  (api_dotinsert, api_dotgline): New functions.
	  (api_bp2sp): Initialize the region beginning and end
	  to point to something valid.
	+ api.h (SCR): Added new fields region, regionshape, and
	  inplace_edit.
	  (api_dotinsert, api_dotgline, api_gotoline, api_setup_fake_win):
	  Added declarations.
	+ cmdtbl (perldo): New command.
	+ estruct.h (api_do_mark_iterate_helper): New macro.
	  (do_mark_iterate): Invoke api_do_mark_iterate_helper in order
	  fix the the marks in the SCR structure region.
	+ perl.xs (newVIrv): Make the references to SCR objects that
	  we give perl refer to globs instead of a scalar.  Bury
	  the scalar in the scalar portion of the glob.  The reason
	  we do this is so that these references may be used as
	  filehandles as well as objects.
	  (perl_free_handle): Slight change to account for extra
	  levels of indirection to get to the thing we really have
	  to zero out.
	  (perl): Added calls to hst_flush() and hst_init() in order
	  to prevent user input from a perl command from being added
	  to the history line for the perl command.  (It was simply
	  getting appended on the end.)  Unfortunately, this input
	  doesn't seem to be recorded in the history any longer, but
	  at least it doesn't mess up the perl command.
	    Also rewrote the code for setting up a region, making sure
	  that the new fields in the SCR structure are initialized
	  appropriatedly.
	  (replace_line, perldo): New functions.
	  (perl_init): Tie STDIN to read from the minibuffer.  Modified
	  other tie statements (calls to sv_magic()) slightly to do
	  the same thing.
	  (Msg): No longer an alias for PRINT.
	  (PRINT): New method which handles both buffers and STDOUT
	  and STDERR.
	  (READLINE): New method which will either read a line from
	  a buffer or fetch input from the user via mlreply_no_opts().
	  When it reads from a buffer, it has the potential to read
	  multiple lines if used in an array context.
	  (VileCommand): New method which runs an arbitrary vile
	  command.  I'll probably rename this one -- don't like
	  the caps.
	  (inplace_edit, setregion): New methods which set/get fields
	  from the SCR structure.
	  (GetUserInput): Will probably go away.  This was my first
	  attempt at a mechanism for fetching user input.
	  (mlreply, mlreply_no_opts, mlreply_file, mlreply_dir): Various
	  methods for fetching user input from the message line.
	+ ptypemap (T_VI): Account for the fact that our objects may
	  also now be considered as filehandles.  (The references now
	  refer to globs instead of scalars.  The scalar is still there,
	  but it's just stuck inside the glob.)

 (tom) 980317 (i)
	+ remove binding of quote-next-character to ^V (reported by Keith
	  Williams <kurris@hotmail.com>, recommended by Paul Fox).
 	+ add an AIX-specific pattern to finderr.c (patch by Michael Finken
	  <finken@conware.de>).
	+ correct w32pipe.c to re-open stdin on the first available descriptor
	  (i.e., 0) when cleaning up after a filter operation (patch by Clark
	  Morgan).

 (tom) 980316 (h)
 	+ correct logic that shifts minibuffer back on return from kbd_reply,
	  had not set curwp.

 (pgf) 980315 (g)
	+ documentation and usage improvements for vile-crypt, in crypt.c,
	  vile.hlp, and vile.1.

 (tom)	980314 (f)
 	+ add "attribute-reverse-til" (suggested by Kuntal M. Daftary
	  daftary@cisco.com).
 	+ correct logic of find_mode() so that :setl cts=4 works as before.
	+ modify kbd_reply() to support inline-editing of the user's text, both
	  by arrow keys, as well as vi-style motion commands.  Use ^G to toggle
	  between the two modes.
	+ change interfaces/logic of hst_append(), kbd_show_response(),
	  kbd_reply() to make them accept nulls.  This is for later extensions,
	  since regexp.c does not handle nulls.  Use the mask KBD_0CHAR for
	  this purpose.
	+ modify check for type-ahead to make 'showmatch' skip the 1/4 sleep,
	  ignoring the current value of 'smoothscroll' (reported by Matthias K.
	  Buelow <token@wicx50.informatik.uni-wuerzburg.de>)
 	+ adjust redefinition of WINDOW in tcap.h to work around OSF1 3.2,
	  which includes curses.h from term.h
 	+ split-out function ntcons_reopen() from ntkopen(), to move it past
	  the pressreturn() call; otherwise the user sees no prompt when
	  running a shell command (reported by Manoj Bhargaw <Manoj@Proginet.com>).
	+ minor adjustments to 'w32pipe' by moving some code into w32pipe.c to
	  allow reuse in the GUI winvile, and using $shell rather than inline
	  expressions for shell spawned in pipes.  Testing with bash did not
	  seem to allow /bin/sh as a possible shell, so I dropped that from
	  Clark's patch.
 	+ improve pipes for W95/WinNT using native support, new mode 'w32pipe'
	  (patch by Clark Morgan).

 (pgf)	980218 (e)
	+ added "crypt-til" operator (bound to ^X-C) which will
	  encrypt/decrypt an arbitrary region.  the main goal was to make
	  it easy to read a previously encrypted file and decrypt it for
	  reading, or to read a clear file, and quickly encrypt it before
	  writing it.  i find crypt mode to be cumbersome at best -- i find
	  the explicit command to be more useful.
	+ modified crypt.c to allow building it as standalone utility.
	  this gets built as vile-crypt, and it's compatible with the crypt
	  command inside of vile (if used over an entire buffer).  usage
	  is:
	    vile-crypt [-m] [-k crypt-key ] [file ...]
	  if '-k crypt-key' is omitted you will be prompted instead, and
	  '-m' leaves text to the first blank-line intact, which i find
	  useful for encrypting individually stored mail messages.  the
	  en/decrypted text appears on stdout.
	+ attempted to document vile's encryption features in vile.hlp.

 (tom)	980208 (d)
 	+ reformatted proto.h, ordering prototypes alphabetically.
 	+ make column shown by ^G the same as for the ruler (reported by David
	  Letcher <David_Letcher@writeme.com>).
 	+ add command show-printable to show exactly what vile does with the
	  character classes.
 	+ newer autoconf configure macro circumvents problems generating
	  config.h due to limited sed buffer size on antiquated systems (e.g.,
	  HP-UX 9.x, SCO 3.x).
 	+ updated configure test, to avoid use of broken IRIX 6.2 nsl library.
	+ add configure option --with-locale to allow use of i18n support via
	  setlocale function.
	+ use new symbol SYS_OS2_EMX to avoid nonstandard use of 'defined'
	  keyword in OPT_CASELESS preprocessor expression (reported by Adam
	  Denton).
	+ move the call that forks xvile up to the first place where it could
	  be used, to minimize data space.

 (tom)	971219 (c)
	+ correction to CF_CURSES_TERMCAP configure test so that SVr4 systems
	  that do not have a prototype for tgoto, but still require curses.h
	  will build properly (patch by Brendan O'Dea).

 (tom)	971218 (b)
 	+ add configure-test to see if $LIBS already contains termcap functions
	  before looking for additional libraries.
 	+ amended CF_CURSES_TERMCAP and CF_TYPE_OUTCHAR tests to use vile's
	  headers (correcting symbol conflict with NL in estruct.h vs curses.h),
	  and to double-check that failure to link test with tgoto was
	  due to conflict with prototype (latter reported by Brendan O'Dea).

 (tom)	971217 (a)
 	+ add CF_CURSES_TERMCAP macro to test for prototypes in curses.h vs
	  termcap.h
 	+ add variable $patchlevel.
 	+ updated README.CFG to list the newer options (reported by Ralphe
	  Neill <ran@alumni.dgs.monash.edu.au>).
 	+ use CF_SIZECHANGE macro to eliminate a SCO-related hack in configure.
 	+ interpret --with-x option in configure-script (reported by Paul Fox).
 	+ add/use TYPECAST macro to quiet the "harmless" const warnings.
 	+ modify CF_IMAKE_CFLAGS macro to work with SGI's imake macros which
	  combine the -I/usr/include and -nostdinc options, confusing gcc
	  (reported by Billy Little <billy_little@hso.link.com>).
	+ fixes for Perl-related rules in makefile.in (patch by Brendan O'Dea).

Changes for vile 7.3 (released Mon Dec 8, 1997)

 (tom)	971207 (t)
 	+ correct include-path for configure script's check for missing
	  externs, to work with --srcdir option (analysis by Kevin Buettner).

 (tom)	971205 (s)
 	+ add logic to configure.in to use a filter (installed by td_lib)
	  named 'td_config' which works around limited 'sed' when constructing
	  config.h on SCO 3.x, HP-UX 9.x and other antiquated platforms.
 	+ add configure options --disable-extensions (SMALLER, FEWNAMES) and
	  --disable-shell (OPT_SHELL), and --with-dmalloc.  The shell option is
	  experimental; note that a genuinely secure editor should not allow
	  directory names to be specified (but I think that's the only omission).
	+ add fallback for tparam/tparm in tcap.c (for EMX, but usable for
	  genuine termcap systems such as SunOS 4.x), to support color.
	+ add files for building termcap version on OS/2 with EMX
	  (makefile.emx, config.emx and os2keys.h).
 	+ change $shell to use $COMSPEC on OS/2, MS-DOS, etc.  This is needed
	  for the OS/2 EMX configuration, but useful in the others.
 	+ modify configure script to use ifdef's in estruct.h when testing
	  for missing extern/prototype declarations rather than a separate
	  list in aclocal.m4 (this requires rebuild/test on most platforms).
	+ combine configure-tests for errno, sys_nerr and sys_errlist.
	+ minor fixes:  new versions of CF_NCURSES_LIBS, CF_ADD_INCDIR,
	  CF_CHECK_CACHE, CF_NCURSES_CPPFLAGS.
	+ correct handling of :map containing ".", which was being handled
	  as if the "." always appeared at the end (patch by Duncan Sargeant;
	  input.c, map.c).

 (kev)  971203 (r)
	+ api.c (lreplace): Fix marks up.  This won't always be right,
	  but at least it'll be closer.  We need a way to modify marks
	  and attributes from perl.
	  (setup_fake_win): changed return type to int.
	  (api_fscreen, api_edit, api_swscreen, api_bp2sp): new functions.
	  (sp2bp, bp2sp): Removed these macros.
	+ api.h (api_swscreen, api_fscreen, api_bp2sp): declared these
	  functions.
	  (sp2bp, bp2sp): macros moved from api.c.
	+ configure.in (LINK_PREFIX): set this variable.  (From Brendan
	  O'Dea.)
	  (CFLAGS, LIBS): Use $perl_bin_path instead of perl in the
	  --with-perl section.
	+ makefile.in (LINK): Prepend LINK_PREFIX as determined by
	  configure to the link command.  (From Brendan O'Dea.)
	+ perl.xs (newVIrv): Don't allocate api private part here. (It's
	  allocated in api_bp2sp now.)  The second parameter has also
	  changed; changed all callers.
	  (perl): Print error messages and warnings to message line.
	  (perl_init): Setup warning handler.  Also tie STDOUT and STDERR
	  so that output to these filehandles will be printed on the
	  message line.  (Thanks to Brendan O'Dea.)
	  (perl_eval): New function.
	  (Msg): Rewritten to handle multiple arguments. (From Brendan O'Dea.)
	  (GetLines): new function which fetches all lines in the range.
	  (Edit, FindScreen, SwitchScreen, Warn): New functions.
	+ proto.h (perl_free_private): removed.
	  (perl_free_handle): added.
	+ ptypemap (T_VI): Translate C null pointers to perl undefs.

 (tom)	971128 (q)
	+ modify tagignorecase mode to use lowercased keys in the binary-tree,
	  and applying tagignorecase mode to the search within the tagged file,
	  making this behave as Joseph F. Garvey requested.
 	+ implement tags-completion.
	+ replace Alex Wetmore's binary tree code with a balanced binary tree
	  module that's a little more general, and does deletion more rapidly
	  than my first try.
 	+ minor fixes for foreground/background colors when resizing terminal
	  window so minibuffer is painted correctly (display.c, ntconio.c).
 	+ rename ntvile to winvile.

 (tom)	971112 (p)
 	+ correct logic for minibuffer by ensuring that it is not marked for
	  undo, and that the value of MK is save/restored when modifying
	  the minibuffer.

 (tom)	971109 (o)
 	+ correct range of scrolling region in ansi.c
 	+ correct treatment in xshell.sh for no-arguments.
 	+ change TTrev() / TTattr() parameter to unsigned.
 	+ implement mouse and flash in OS/2 VIO driver (os2vio.c).
 	+ correct logic in vtputc() to prevent minibuffer from writing into the
	  lower-right corner of the screen.

 (tom)	971108 (n)
 	+ more CSet unsigned/signed compiler warning fixes (estruct.h)
 	+ don't reopen terminal in ansi.c if it is already open.
 	+ correct handling of rename-buffer when it is a scratch buffer that
	  does not happen to be a stored procedure.
	+ recorrect lookup_namebst() call in engl2fnc(); it should always allow
	  partial match.  Fixed by adding a third mode where the lexical first
	  match will be returned rather than the middle one in a range.
 	+ correct tab-position in ntconio.c
 	+ modify borland.c to reset colors when exiting or running a shell.
	+ change tcapkopen() to reflect possibility that terminal
	  initialization string moves the cursor.
 	+ add simple gui terminal driver for WinNT (ntwinio.c, makefile.wnt).
	  Built with Microsoft Visual C++ 4.1, both with IDE and makefile.wnt.
	  Use "nmake -f makefile.wnt cfg=ntvile".
	+ integrated related patch by Clark Morgan for repainting the screen
	  correctly after a :stop command.
 	+ rewrote internals of command/message line to make it a one-line
	  minibuffer, including mods for OPT_RAMSIZE and OPT_WORKING.  Tested
	  Linux (for tcap.c, x11.c, ansi.c), OS/2 (os2vio.c), WinNT (ntconio.c,
	  ntwinio.c), VMS (vmsvt.c), djgpp (borland.c).

 (tom)	971028 (m)
	+ correct inverted parameter in call on lookup_namebst().
	+ compiler warnings from Solaris (unsigned vs signed in bind.c, ifdef
	  in trace.c).
	+ minor changes to compile on OS/2 with EMX.
	+ modify borland.c to reset colors to white/black on exit.

 (tom)	971027 (l)
	+ backout change to own_selection, since it doesn't follow ICCCM,
	  in the sense that it increases X traffic needlessly (pointed out by
	  Kevin Buettner).  Kept check on return value from XtOwnSelection.
 	+ correct out-of-bounds indexing in dname_to_dirnum() by adding a
	  length parameter, use memcmp.
 	+ modify Alex's change so that buffers that are renamed or deleted
	  update the corresponding entries in the binary-tree.  Also, don't
	  allow built-in commands to be removed or replaced.  Finally, make the
	  name-completion work with an empty command.
	+ add $end-of-cmd variable (patch by Alex Wetmore).
	+ integrate patch by Alex Wetmore <awetmore@Exchange.Microsoft.com>
	  that makes stored procedures act just like built-in commands, i.e.,
	  able to run them from the :  prompt.  This works by building a binary
	  tree of all of the command and procedure names.

 (tom)	971015 (k)
	+ add configure options --with-Xaw-scrollbars and
	  --with-drag-extension.  These make it easy to build xvile with
	  Kevin's scrollbars by specifying --without-Xaw-scrollbars, or to use
	  the Xaw's default translations for scrollbars by specifing
	  --without-drag-extension.
	+ ifdef'd out the code that invokes $xshell in ":!command".
	+ correct logic in xvile that spawns a new instance from menu entry,
	  was leaving a zombie when the new instance closed (reported by Brian
	  Moore <bem@cmc.net>).
	+ modify own_selection to always try to own the select, as well as to
	  check the return value from XtOwnSelection (reported by Ian Jamison
	  <ianj@quadrics.com>)
	+ add Lesstif-specific ifdef for workaround (requested by Larry Gensch).
	+ correct ifdef'ing of Motif version of xvile (reported by Larry
	  Gensch).
	+ add screen types Xol and Xm as aliases for OpenLook and Motif.
	+ correct quoting in configure script for OpenLook case.
	+ fix some compiler warnings and add 'make check' target (reported by
	  Nelson H. F. Beebe <beebe@math.utah.edu>)

 (kev)	971013 (j)
 	+ perl.xs, ptypemap: Lots of new code which extends the perl
 	  interface a bit more.
 	+ api.c, api.h: New files which sort of implement nvi's API for
 	  extension languages.
 	+ makefile.in (OBJ, VILESRC): Added api.o and api.c to these
 	  lists.
 	+ estruct.h (BUFFER): Added new field, b_api_private, used by
 	  the extension language API.
 	+ buffer.c (FreeBuffer): Free up the extension language API
 	  related data structure referenced by b_api_private.
 	  (bfind): Initialize the b_api_private field.
 	+ cmdtbl (perl): Put in a reasonable set of flags for this
 	  command.  (It used to be NONE.)
 	+ exec.c (execute_named_command): Added region support for the
 	  perl command.
 	+ proto.h (push_fake_win, pop_fake_win, perl_default_region,
 	  perl_free_private, api_free_private): New prototypes.
 	+ select.c, window.c (push_fake_win, pop_fake_win): These
 	  functions removed from select.c and put into window.c.  Also
 	  they are no longer static.

(kev)	971009 (i)
	+ perl.xs, ptypemap:  New files.  Beginnings of perl interface
	  for vile.
	+ cmdtbl (perl): New command enabled only when --with-perl
	  supplied as an option to the configure script.
	+ configure.in, makefile.in: perl related changes.
	+ (fix typo in xshell.sh - tom)

(tom)	971008 (h)
	+ correct typo in stubbed-out code for $xshell, add $xdisplay and
	  example script 'xshell.sh' which can be used to run a shell command
	  from xvile, prompting at the end so that the output doesn't go away
	  when the xterm completes.
	+ rename vile's ctype macros to mixed-case to avoid conflict.  This
	  is needed for Solaris 2.6, which does not implement ctype as macros.
	+ modify casts and some names (e.g., new, operator, class) to allow
	  compiling with C++ (tested with g++ 2.7.2 on Linux).

(kev)	971007 (g)
	+ x11.c (multi_click): Reimplemented multiclick selections for
	  lines.  Previously, it was not possible to select the entirety
	  of a wrapped line by clicking on a row other than the first
	  row.
	+ window.c (mvupwind, onlywind, delwp, splitw, enlargewind,
	  shrinkwind):  Make sure that w_line.o is zero just after
	  setting w_line.l to a new value.  The lack of this
	  assignment in mvupwind() was causing a SEGFAULT on my linux
	  box.  [To test it, create a very long wrapped line with a
	  bunch of lines (say 100) before it; my test has in excess of
	  10,000 characters on the long line.  Make sure linewrap mode
	  is set.  Then say 100^Y.  The SEGFAULT was immediate.  You
	  can also reproduce it by dragging the scrollbar for awhile.]

(tom)	971006 (f)
	+ document --with-screen values better in configure --help.
	+ implement Athena widget scrollbar support in x11.c, using Kevin's
	  dragging support from the no-widget case.
	+ add $xshell environment variable, use this to control :sh command
	  from xvile.
	+ new CF_X_ATHENA configure macro adds configure options --with-Xaw3d
	  and --with-neXtaw.
	+ corrected CF_IMAKE_CFLAGS, which was not using the imake symbol that
	  specified X function prototypes.  (This was old behavior, which did
	  not seem to matter until adding Xaw scrollbars on Linux).

(kev)	971005 (e)
	+ basic.c (setwmark): In linewrap mode, account for undisplayed
	  rows before the first row shown of a very long wrapped line.
	+ display.c (vtset): Don't allow wrapped lines to overflow onto
	  the mode line.  I don't think characters from the buffer were
	  ever getting written to the modeline, but vteeol() would sometimes
	  erase the modeline when displaying very long wrapped lines.
	  (reframe): Handle reframes of long wrapped lines more gracefully.
	  In particular, once the top row of a very long wrapped line
	  goes off the top, it is now possible to have the cursor positioned
	  on somewhere other than the bottom row.  Scrolling up or down
	  via right or left right movement within a long wrapped line also
	  looks a lot better now.
	  (updattrs): Don't attempt to access rows before the top row
	  of a window when updating attributes.  Also, don't access
	  rows of or below the the mode line.  This fixes a SEGFAULT.

(tom)	970918 (d)
	+ amend logic for find_mode() so that "&glo cmode" and "&loc cmode"
	  work as before majormode changes (reported by Sean Ahern).
	+ merge autoconf macros from tin/xterm, which mainly affect the
	  configuration tests for ncurses and imake $CFLAGS, used to augment
	  autoconf's tests for X Windows.
	+ also (since some systems have deficient 'sed' programs) provide
	  alternate hook for using a program 'td_config', which is currently
	  bundled in td_lib.tgz, that does the sorting operation of config.h in
	  a reasonably portable manner.
	+ add mode 'maplength' to control the maximum length of a map
	  string.
	+ correct definition of OUTC_ARGS for the case where it should be a
	  'char' value (patch by Jason Molenda <crash@cygnus.co.jp>).

(tom)	970907 (c)
	+ modify CF_CACHE_CHECK macro to use AC_CANONICAL_HOST to obtain a
	  "better" value for SYSTEM_NAME.  This is displayed as part of the
	  :version command.  Add config.guess and config.sub to support this.
	+ changes for 7.2b omitted some macros dealing with echoing during the
	  make process (reported by Jens Schleusener <Jens.Schleusener@dlr.de>)

(tom)	970905 (b)
	+ merge configure macros from tin-unoff and lynx (configure.in,
	  aclocal.m4).
	+ rename configure macros to CF_ prefix, for consistency/merge with
	  other programs (configure.in, aclocal.m4).
	+ correct handling of tparm return-value; it must not be freed, at
	  least for SVr4 and ncurses (tcap.c)
	+ ensure that majormode names are a legal identifier.
	+ modify so that majormode names can be mixed case (requested by
	  Sean Ahern).

(tom)	970904 (a)
	+ add variable $majormode so that it can be tested in a script
	  (requested by Philippe Chassany).
	+ fix potential ifdef problem for cbuf1 (reported by Brendan O'Dea).
	+ simplified VMS permissions code, using the protection parameter in
	  'open()' to achieve the objective of propagating a file's current
	  protection, as well as making it compile with DEC C (reported by
	  Simon Hefti <hefti@phim.unibe.ch>).

Changes for vile 7.2 (released Thu Sep 4, 1997)

(tom)	970903 (k)
	+ modify rename-buffer so that if we rename a buffer, we'll clear the
	  flag that marks it for removal when popped-down.
	+ modify show-modes command so that it will format more than 3 columns
	  if the screen is wide enough.
	+ correct logic of delfrommap(), which dumped core when unmapping
	  a single-character map (reported by Paul Fox).
	+ modify show-majormodes so that giving a count will make it show all
	  of the submodes prefixed by the majormode name, e.g., c-suffixes
	  (suggested by Paul Fox).
	+ modify documentation to use "define-majormode" and "remove-majormode"
	  for clarity, other related fixes to documentation (suggested by Paul
	  Fox).

(tom)	970902 (j)
	+ correct logic in find_mode() that did not find majormode qualifiers
	  for majormodes that began similarly (e.g., "com" masked by "c").
	+ correct an uninitialized variable in per_submode(), found by Purify.
	+ correct ifdef'ing in tcap.c, from 7.1i, when neither tparm nor
	  tparam is found.

(tom)	970901 (i)
	+ if the command-line '@' option is used, set the $startup-file
	  variable to correspond to the startup file which is used.
	+ add tagignorecase mode, which causes tag searches to be done ignoring
	  case (requested by Joseph F. Garvey <garvey@garveys.raleigh.ibm.com>).
	+ initialize last_eolchar in docmd() so that 'set' command works
	  properly in a macro.
	+ add %B substition for error-buffer regular expressions to allow
	  using [Standard Input] and other scratch buffers as error buffers.
	+ modify format-til command to treat '#' specially when in cmode, so
	  no whitespace is inserted after it.
	+ modify format-til command to support comment-prefix mode and handle
	  repeated prefix, so that, for example, vile can now format multiple
	  levels of email replies.
	+ add comment-prefix mode, which specifies a regular expression that
	  controls the portion of a line which is prefixed when formatting.
	+ modify default setting of comments mode to make repeated prefix
	  match (e.g., "> > >", is different from "> >").
	+ ensure that imdying() always exits (reported by Clark Morgan).
	+ workaround for incompatible interpretation of termcap Sf/Sb
	  capability with BSD vs SYSV platforms (tcap.c).

(tom)	970829 (h)
	+ correct initialization of $palstr on OS/2.
	+ correct some of the signed/unsigned warnings from IBM CSet compiler.
	+ remove obsolete autoconf fallback macros.
	+ correct handling of ":abbr res RES", ":abbr wres WRES" combination by
	  forcing matches on these to check that the beginning of the match is
	  an identifier boundary (reported by Paul Laub <P_Laub@fccc.edu>).
	+ correct assignment in maplookup() which caused a -1 returned when no
	  more characters were available for matching to be converted to the
	  0xFF character.
	+ modify fopen-for-write calls on VMS to add "0" argument, which makes
	  the new file get the user's default protection (requested by Brian
	  Reed <bdreed1@lucent.com>).
	+ correct logic that allowed repeated definition of submodes (reported
	  by Duncan Sargeant).
	+ allow submode names to begin with "no", assuming they are booleans
	  (reported by Duncan Sargeant).
	+ corrected lookup of hyphenated submodes, e.g., c-tabstop (reported
	  by Duncan Sargeant <dunc@ucc.gu.uwa.edu.au>).
	+ allow define-submode to accept an '=' between the submode and its
	  value.
	+ modify define-mode and remove-mode to suppress warning message if
	  the mode does not exist, since this produces unnecessary warnings
	  when re-sourcing .vilerc
	+ include <windows.h> only where it is needed, halving the build time
	  (patch by Clark Morgan).
	+ modify configure script to work with CLIX old-style shared libraries
	  (e.g., -lc_s) needed for xvile.

(tom)	970816 (g)
	+ correct type mismatch in filec.c when sizeof(size_t) !=
	  sizeof(unsigned) (reported by Larry Gensch <gensch@zk3.dec.com>).
	+ modify vmsbuild.com to tell MMS (or MMK) to ignore warnings,
	  workaround for an inconsistency between versions of DEC C
	  (suggested by Andy Harper and Adam Denton).
	+ initial implementation of majormodes, which supports grouping of
	  buffer modes, together with qualifiers (e.g., cmode and c-suffixes).
	  New commands include define-mode, define-submode, remove-mode,
	  remove-submode, list-majormodes.  (Most changes are in mktbls.c and
	  modes.c).

(tom)	970619 (f)
	+ modify ":set" command so that it does not force a mode to be set,
	  but instead shows the local buffer and window settings.
	+ correct missing error-test in logic that sets regular-expression
	  modes (reported by Philippe Chassany).
	+ add configure option to specify the total numbered macros available,
	  e.g., execute-macro-1, ifdef'd with OPT_EXEC_MACROS (requested by
	  Philippe Chassany).
	+ modify xvile menus to allow arbitrary command line rather than
	  bound functions (exec.c, menu.c).
	+ correct spurious parameter in vms2unix.c, from 7.1d changes.

(tom)	970607 (e)
	+ modify VMS terminal driver, vmsvt.c, to work when invoked from a
	  command-file, i.e., get terminal characteristics from SYS$COMMAND
	  rather than SYS$INPUT (reported by Adam Denton).
	+ treat '$' as an identifier character on VMS (requested by
	  Adam Denton).
	+ clarify discussion of color in help-file (patch by Clark Morgan).
	+ modify map.c to use TBUFF's, as well as new kbd_reply interface,
	  to remove limit on mapped strings.
	+ change interface/internals of kbd_reply() to use a TBUFF, so we don't
	  need fixed-size buffers any more (bind.c, exec.c, eval.c, history.c,
	  input.c, line.c, modes.c).
	+ correct uninitialized buffer in loadkreg().
	+ correct indexing in display_cursor() function in xvile; exposed when
	  displaying a long list for the historical buffer command.

(tom)	970526 (d)
	+ add $ncolors variable to allow run-time modification of the meaning
	  of colors (e.g., white).
	+ change $palette to a dynamically allocated string.
	+ modify termcap and IBM terminal drivers to support 16 colors.  Note
	  that the termcap driver can do this only when configured against a
	  terminfo library (inspired by a patch from Clark Morgan).
	+ modify mktbls to generate the enumerated choices tables (i.e., for
	  color, visual-matches) to simplify ifdef'ing these between the
	  8-color and 16-color configurations.
	+ undo some of the const parameters of functions, thereby eliminating
	  most of the places where casts were used to remove const.
	+ modify VMS processing of tags to strip file's version number
	  (adapted from fix by Adam Denton <adenton@genre.com>).
	+ modify bclear() to free attributes before removing the buffer's
	  lines, thereby making it faster (patch by Ian Jamison).

(tom)	970513 (c)
	+ set local buffer mode for 'dos' in slowreadf(), which fixes the
	  problem of that function modifying the global mode when piping a file
	  to vile, hence causing syntax errors in vile.rc when it contains
	  trailing carriage-returns (file.c) (analysis by Clark Morgan).
	+ correct missing VASEL flag that caused 'q' command on OS/2 to not
	  display highlighting, missed in 7.0b (os2vio.c) (reported by George
	  Eccles <geccles@ibm.net>)
	+ implement 'flash' for WinNT (ntconio.c)

(tom)	970513 (b)
	+ ifdef'd menu.c to work with 7.1a

(tom)	970512 (a)
	+ modify has_C_suffix() to ignore case on platforms where filename
	  case should be ignored (reported by Emil Rojas <emil@lapel.com>).
	+ add version in vmsbuild.com to release_warnings
	+ remove unnecessary test for Xaw/SimpleMenu.h (configure.in).
	+ improve geometry of Xaw menus using Box (patch by Brendan O'Dea
	  <bod@compusol.com.au>)
	+ add menu.c to the modules for xvile on VMS (reported by Graeme
	  Miller).

Changes for vile 7.1 (released Wed May 8, 1997)

(tom)	970508 (none)
	+ undo a place where I'd dropped an XtVaGetValues() call, since it
	  appeared redundant, but was not - affects only Xaw build (x11.c).
	+ ifdef'd a test in newscreensize() that is applicable only when
	  OPT_WORKING is set; this had broken screen initialization on MS-DOS
	  (display.c).

(tom)	970507 (l)
	+ add resource to control menu-height (x11.c, menu.c).
	+ correct definition in vms2unix.c to allow compile with VAX C, which
	  doesn't like "#define foo xxx.foo".

(tom)	970430 (k)
	+ modify lookup of .vilerc to use startup-file search rules (menu.c)
	+ correct missing XmString conversion (menu.c)
	+ add configure check for -lXext to support Athena build on X11R4.

(tom)	970429 (j)
	+ use im_waiting() function to reset "working..." state after executing
	  a menu-command (menu.c).
	+ modify lookup of .vilemenu to use startup-file search rules.
	+ corrections for porting Xaw version to SunOS, etc., with X11R4 and
	  X11R5 (x11.c, configure.in)

(tom)	970428 (i)
	+ implement Xaw (Athena widget) version of menus.  Simplified buffer
	  lookup function for menus, align/document resource names (menu.c,
	  x11.c, configure script).
	+ correct minor memory leaks during initialization (main.c)
	+ correct array-indexing error that caused core dump when selecting
	  line-wrapped text, moving cursor up (display.c).

(tom)	970422 (h)
	+ improved example of menus for xvile (Philippe Chassany).
	+ correct mistyped index in c-filt.c, which was a char (patch by Ian
	  Jamison).
	+ correct c-filt.c handling of nested comment delimiters (patch by Ian
	  Jamison <ianj@quadrics.com>)
	+ correct sign-extension in tcap.c for xterm mouse-coordinates.

(tom)	970407 (g)
	+ add mode 'tagword', which allows user to lookup the whole word rather
	  than a substring.  (from Adam Denton <adenton@genre.com>).
	+ reintroduce flag 'i_displayed' into 'working' mode (I'd forgotten
	  that it suppressed the message until screen-mode).
	+ improve buffer-switching in menu-support (patch by Philippe Chassany)
	+ correction to MS-DOS, etc., where attempt was made to fclose a file
	  pointer that was out of scope (patch by Clark Morgan).
	+ modify definition of eql_bname() macro so that buffer names are
	  treated as case-insensitive where filenames are, e.g., WinNT and
	  OS/2 (patch by Rick Sladkey from report by Clark Morgan).
	+ add predefined regular expression to finderr.c to improve support
	  for MS-DOS pathnames (patch by Clark Morgan).

(tom)	970407 (f)
	+ integrated menu-support for Motif xvile (patch by Philippe Chassany
	  <phil@cln46ks.der.edf.fr>).
	+ refined changes to 'working' mode to ensure that the "working..."
	  message is cleared when the timer elapses.

(kev)	970407 (e)
	+ fileio.c (isready_c): Small tweak to the ifdefs for mklinux w/
	  shared libraries.  This'll probably be needed for other systems
	  with the up and coming GNU libc as well.

(tom)	970330 (d)
	+ correct missing ']' on generated buffer name for shell output, e.g.,
	  "[!ls]" rather than "[!ls" (reported by Paul Fox): (file.c).
	+ correct unnecessary escaping of '!' in prompts that are not expanding
	  the shell contents (reported by Paul Fox): (input.c).
	+ modify semaphore used by 'working' mode to make the SIGALRM timer
	  elapse when it is not in use, allowing idle process to swap out
	  properly (reported by Bill Kipp): (display.c, etc).
	+ correct filename parsing for MS-DOS/etc configuration by checking
	  for device name (patch by Clark Morgan).

(tom)	970322 (c)
	+ fixes for piping to vile in WinNT (patch by Clark Morgan).
	+ add logic for visual-matches in color, WinNT (patch by Clark Morgan).
	+ add vile-c-filt.exe to makefile.wnt, modify default keyword file
	  on that system to vile.keywords (patch by Clark Morgan).
	+ correct problem with MS-DOS/Win95/NT version of npopen.c that left
	  temp-files after reading from pipe, because file-remove was done
	  before closing (patch by Clark Morgan).

(tom)	970315 (b)
	+ use macro GCC_UNUSED throughout to quiet gcc warnings about unused
	  (dummy) parameters.
	+ modify configure script to use VC_GCC_WARNINGS
	+ add mode to control whether formatting adds one or two spaces
	  after sentences (patch by Otto Lind).
	+ handle C++ comments (patch by Otto Lind <otto.lind@softwire.com>).
	+ implement colored attributes in OS/2 video driver (os2vio.c)
	+ modify writereg() so that it recomputes the region size after
	  invoking the $write-hook; this is necessary since it may change the
	  file's size (reported by Bob Wall <wall@vlt.com>).

(tom)	970314 (a)
	+ modify c-filt.c, manfilt.c to simplify compiling w/o auto-configure
	  "config.h".
	+ modify MS-DOS/Win31/WinNT portion of npopen.c to leave input file
	  descriptor alone when reading from pipe, solving a problem with
	  applications hanging under Thompson Toolkit (patch by Clark O.
	  Morgan <cmorgan@aracnet.com>)
	+ correct inequality changed in 6.2g which is part of right-margin
	  threshold computation (report and fix by William Yuan
	  <yuan@ariel.ucs.unimelb.edu.au>)
	+ corrected definition of $(exec_prefix) in makefile.in (reported by
	  Joachim Schimpf <J.Schimpf@doc.ic.ac.uk>).
	+ apply suggested casts in vms2unix.c to appease DEC C 5.3 (reported
	  by Andy Harper and Graeme Miller).
