MicroEMACS 3.10e release notes

	NOTE!

		This is only an intrim release of a development version
	product.  Do not trust your thesis to this!

	This release is only available via anonymous FTP from
	zeus.mgmt.purdue.edu (128.210.1.3) and SHOULD NOT BE
	RE-RELEASED on other networks.  If we are not to overburdan
	USENET, COMPUSERVE and others we don't want to swamp them
	with multi-mega postings on a frequent basis!

	***	a lot of fine tuning to the search algorithms

	***	HP150 version works again

	***	added ^X^A append-file to append a buffer on to
		the end of a file

	***	VMS version should work again

	***	cleaned some bugs in the file completion code

======================================================================
 *	05-may-89
 *	- fixed a missing structure element in line 1230 of eval.c
 *	- set attribute to clear screen to 07 in ibmeeop.  This fixes
 *	  a long standing bug involving not seeing the modeline.
 *	16-may-88
 *	- a bad character in UNIX.C's code for the HPUX is fixed
 *	- a couple of header problems for HPUX fixed
 *	- a bug in EVAL.C comparing var names past 10 chars is fixed
 *	- added Dan Corkill's ISEARCH mods (see ISEARCH.C) Had
 *	  to fix them to allow function keys at the end of an isearch.
 *	22-may-89 John Gamble
 *	- added $SEARCHTYPE var to determine where searches terminate.
 *		0 = forward: after string, backward: at beg of string
 *		1 = always at beginning of string
 *		2 = always character past end of string
 *	  added code and vars all around for this
 *	28-may-89
 *	- finished fixing ISEARCH to properly allow function keys and
 *	  mouse movement to terminate the ISEARCH.
 *	28-may-89 John Gamble
 *	- Code finally added to handle the $SEARCHPNT (nee' $SEARCHTYPE)
 *	  variable.  Frankly, i think its pretty sloppy, and should
 *	  be replaced by a separate function to deal with point positions.
 *	  Will change it later.
 *	7-jul-89 John Gamble
 *	- A far more elegant way of dealing with $SEARCHPNT is present,
 *	  more efficient in space also.  Didn't need the above mentioned
 *	  point function.  Altered ISEARCH.C code to use new calling
 *	  parameters in scan routines.
 *	- Got started with group structure in MAGIC mode, with alterations
 *	  present in estruct.h and search.c
 *	15-jul-89 John Gamble
 *	- added $disphigh environment variable to control the escaped
 *	  display of high bit set ascii characters
 *	05-aug-89 Daniel Lawrence
 *	- added to lines to lbound() so a forward search will no longer
 *	  wrap around the end of the buffer if the point was at the end.
 *	- widen-from-region (^X>) preserves the point and marks if they
 *	  were at the end of the fragment, instead of moving them to
 *	  the end of the buffer.
 *	- fixed bug in comp_file() to allow up to 128 char files specs
 *	  instead of 32 chars.
 *	- patched some bugs in the TIPC version.  It runs again, but
 *	  without a mouse and color and reverse video.  The TIPC I had
 *	  to test on was a weird mono one....
 *	- released 3.10a to the BBS for TIPC users
 *	05-aug-89 John Gamble
 *	- refolding and shoving a lot has managed to knock about 300
 *	  bytes of code out of search.c and isearch.c.  Also the some of
 *	  the various commands in an isearch now shadow their bigger
 *	  counterparts.
 *	- fixed the tab bug in entab-line (^X-^E) which munged lines.
 *	15-aug-89 Daniel Lawrnece
 *	- added append-file (^X^A) command to append a buffer on the
 *	  end of a file
 *	[released 3.10b to Krannert.....]
 *	20-aug-89 Daniel Lawrence
 *	- The quote character is now treated as the abort and universal-
 *	  argument characters are: only one key may be bound to it at
 *	  a time.
 *	9-sep-89
 *	- a bug in msdos.c prevented the proper binding of ALT-0 on the
 *	  IBMPC. Fixed this as pointed out by Rik Faith.
 *	17-sep-89 John M. Gamble
 *	- Isearch now understands alternatively bound keys.
 *	  One change had to be made to ebind.h and input.c, to handle
 *	  the delete-previous-character command.  The delete character
 *	  is now represented internally as CNTL|'?', instead of 0x7F.
 *	  Changes made to handle this are in ebind.h and input.c.
 *	16-dec-89
 *	 - Incorporated Kevin Mitchell's VMS improvements.  Using the
 *	   native RMS file I/O, and native memory memory routines
 *	   GREATLY speeds up file and buffer manipulation.
 *	17-dec-89
 *	- updated the HP150.C file to work with the new style I/O layers.
 *	  hp150 version now works properly.
 *	25-jan-90
 *	- dumped a lot of the old choice symbols in estruct.h for some
 *	  things which have either never been used, or have clearly
 *	  superior versions now.
 *	- removed the WORDPRO and AEDIT symbols.... all this code is
 *	  always in now.  (it never made much of a size difference anyway)
 *	- modified sources to allow them to use new ANSI style prototypes.
 *	  (this was a lot of work....)
 *	- in the process, fixed bug where EMACS probably grew confused
 *	  when setting $curchar to a newline.
 *	26-jan-90
 *	- replaced old file completion code with version by Michael J. Arena
 *	  It allows us to partially complete directory names on UNIX.
 *	- modified getffile in MSDOS.C to return directory names as well
 *	  so it can work with the above mod.  I need to do this mod on
 *	  all OSs which will support it.
 *	- added support for the Supermax UNIX system as submitted by
 *	  Michael Hillerstrom.
 *	- fixed a couple of OS2 bugs having to do with key input as submitted
 *	  by Sugih Jamin
 *	- fixed three bugs posted by Kieth Jones (in display.c and eval.c)
 *	- let the TURBO C MSDOS version use the bios instead of DOS for
 *	  keybord input as submitted by David R. Kohr.  This should solve
 *	  problems with TSRs like Sidekick that break rules.
 *	- fixed a bug in MSDOS.C's getffile involving how the filename was
 *	  parsed.  Paths including ".." now can expand properly.
 *	[Released version 3.10e to USENET]
