Changes since ved-1.5: - fixed a bug that caused ved to dump core in DOS edit mode - Make "LOCK IS LOCAL ONLY" warning silent (no beep) - Make "LOCK IS LOCAL ONLY" warning only appear when modern locking routines are not available. - Lock file only if it is writable - Check for ENOENT when applying the file lock - Make ^[^G work again to edit the .vedmac file - correctly print an error message if the file cannot be read in for some reason - Do not lock with Cygwin as on UNIX to allow files to be edited. This is needed as Win32 does not support standard compliant record locking. - rename gaplink() macro to wp_gaplink() as come compilers don't like a macro to have the same name as a structure member. - corrected large file usage macros in ved.h to allow compilation on glibc-2.1.3 (which is buggy). - renamed map_t structure to smap_t in map.c to allow compilarion on AIX which pollutes the namespace :-( - Allow floatingpoint printf on recent FreeBSD which changed the interface of the libc function __dtoa() without warning. - Allow floatingpoint printf on True64 - Some time_t tweaks to handle the wrong time_t used on True64 - Better handling of the secret maxint_t type Llong in printf - gethostid()/usleep() portability functions now also work on Apollo Domain/OS - corectly work with HP-UX and Apollo stdio - New option maxlinelen=# to make ved autowrap with absolute line length instead of wrapping relative to the current linelength. - Allow ved to compile on systemd without fork() - converted to use the Schily include file statdefs.h for better portability - fixed type in message.c for K&R compilers with function writeserr() - Allow ^C (QUIT VED) to work in force mode when called with -r option. - Commented out DIRSIZE Check code it DIRSIZE is not known so ved compiles on QNX CYGWIN NT-4.0 NOTES: To compile on Cygwin32, get Cygwin32-beta20 and install it. then create a symlink from /bin to the .../bin directory where bash is located. Now run 'make' ... For more information read README.win32 The files are located on: ftp://ftp.fokus.gmd.de/pub/unix/ved ... NOTE: These tar archives are 100% ansi compatible. Solaris 2.x tar and GNU tar may get some minor trouble. WARNING: Do not use 'mc' to extract the tar file! All mc versions before 4.0.14 cannot extract symbolic links correctly. WARNING: Do not use 'winzip' to extract the tar file! Winzip cannot extract symbolic links correctly. Joerg
