Changes in the Centiwrite 1.10 Developer's Kit
======= == === ========== ==== =========== ===

1) Timeout option.
You may now set the editor to timeout after a certain number of minutes.
This will return control to the calling program, which can take action
such as auto-save of files. The new structure variables TimeOutInterval,
NextTimeOut, and oldhours must now be initialized in the calling program.

2) Blank cursor character.
You must now give a value to BlankChar in the calling program. This
determines what character is displayed when the cursor rests on
either an ASCII zero, ASCII 32 (blank), or ASCII 255.

3) Additional keys returned.
You may now elect to have Ctrl-keys returned to the calling program. This
allows for use of the Ctrl-keys for purposes other than inserting control
characters. RetCtrlKeys must be initialized in the calling program.

4) Pasexcode passed away.
All keys are now returned by the single INTEGER variable "passkey".
Extended key codes are returned as values in excess of 255.

5) No status line option.
You may now eliminate the status line by setting "ShowStatusLine"
to false. "ShowStatusLine" must be initialized by the calling procedure.

6) No blank line.
The blank line following the status line has been eliminated.

7) The procedure GetKey is no longer included, because it is not used by
the editor, and AnalyzeKey can be used in its place. This will result
in a slight reduction in the size of the unit (which is offset by the
additional features).

8) Additional functions and procedures.
Check "The Interface of the Unit" in CWDKITx.DOC for the revised roster
of supporting players.

9) Revised license policy.
Read the file DLICENSE.DOC for information on the new policy for
shareware distribution houses, as well as clarification of the
policy for on-line bulletin board systems.

10) Price increase.
All prices have been raised. See "Down to Brass Tacks" in CWDKIT.DOC.
Registered owners of the Centiwrite 1.00 Developer's Kit receive a free
upgrade. Just look at their smiling faces as they beam over their good
fortune!
