Short: The final CON: solution, ^Z, XTerm, Intui-screens Author: thor@einstein.math.tu-berlin.de (Thomas Richter) Uploader: thor@einstein.math.tu-berlin.de (Thomas Richter) Type: util/shell About ViNCEd --------------------------------------------------------------------------- The latest version (3.20) of my full screen shell editor (CON: replacement) Features: -Extremly flexible -Comes with prefs program with nice GUI -User defineable macros and buttons (gadgets) with parameters -Full screen editor, not line limited -Compatible to CON: and ConMan -VT-220 emulation build in -Supports control sequences of: -CON: -VT-220 -DEC -XTerm (Unix Shells) -SGI winterm -plus private stuff (set keyboard and font by ctrl seq) -TAB expansion, with different TAB requesters as option -Menu -Online help plus documentation -Localizeable (German available) -Job control a la unix with Ctrl-Z -suspends shell jobs -sends shell jobs to forgeground & background using tiny shell scripts "fg" and "bg" like unix -documented library for own applications and editor programming -iconification support -easy installation -full control thru single program (SetVNC) -clipboard support, snip control with middle mouse button or Ctrl-left -can create private screens on request -100% assembly language => fast & short Plus: It's 100% free ! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------- history ----- this is not the complete history, read the guide!---- Changes made since 3.19: 3.20: Added support for private screens (thanx Albert) and fixed a bug in SetVNC (thanx Christopher). ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ANNOUNCEMENT: If you selected the "Disable full screen Edit" setting on the system page of SetVNC as setting for ViNCEd, you will have noticed that the RETURN key does not operate like expected in the SHELL. THIS IS NOT A BUG! This edit mode is for programs that wants to read masks from the input, UNLIKE THE SHELL. DO NOT TURN IT ON FOR THE SHELL! If you like to glue the cursor to the edit position and don't want it moving 'round the screen if marking blocks or scrolling, turn on the XTerm Cursor Mode in the edit pages of SetVNC! If you prefer single TAB requesters, turn on both the "Requester if expansion is not unique" and the "First TAB expands fully" flag in the Shell pages of SetVNC. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ANNOUNCEMENT: Co-Authors wanted ! 1) Localization: If you like to localize ViNCEd to your language, please send me some mail! You'll receive a complete archive how to do the job! You need to provide: - some knowledge about AmigaDOS and locales. - some knowledge of your native language (-; An italian localization of ViNCEd is under construction - please contact me for more languages! 2) MUI Prefs editor: I'd like somebody to write a MUI version of a prefs editor. This can't be a full replacement for SetVNC, but at least the global prefs should be edit- able with it. Some limitations of MUI (no intuition requesters) limit the possibilities of a MUI version of SetVNC, but this is O.K. for a prefs editor. You need to provide: - some knowledge about a programming language, preferably assembler or C. - knowledge about how to write GUIs with MUI. - a registered version of MUI You'll receive a documentation on how ViNCEd saves its preferences and on how to call the library functions to install the prefs. I'm sorry, but I can't offer any money for these jobs, cause ViNCEd is freeware. It is expected that you provide your work as freeware, too. I won't claim any copyright on these programs or databases, but I need your O.K. to include them in the ViNCEd archive. Contact me at the address below if you think you like to do the job(s). Thanx, Thomas ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Another note: VirusWorkShop seems to have trouble with the custom overlay manager that is used by the SetVNC program. THIS IS NOT A VIRUS! It is a bugfix of the oldish CBM overlay manager which is really buggy! VirusWorkShop will be updated soon. Thanks Urban, for reporting! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Give your vote: Elf vs. Ape --------------------------------- ViNCEd vs. KingCon(g) Send ideas, improvements, bugreports (please as concrete as possible) to: Thomas Richter EMail: thor@einstein.math.tu-berlin.de or Wisit the Web site: WWW: http://www.math.tu-berlin.de/~thor/thor/index.html February 1997 Thomas ============================= Archive contents ============================= Original Packed Ratio Date Time Name -------- ------- ----- --------- -------- ------------- 628 270 57.0% 16-Feb-97 19:31:48 +AREXX.info 172 154 10.4% 02-Nov-96 23:18:16 +rexxsyslib.pch 628 270 57.0% 16-Feb-97 19:31:48 +C.info 36760 19346 47.3% 16-Feb-97 19:30:18 +SetVNC 628 268 57.3% 16-Feb-97 19:31:48 +DEVS.info 628 268 57.3% 13-Jan-94 22:52:32 +DOSDrivers.info 84 79 5.9% 13-Jan-94 22:50:32 +NEWCON 481 262 45.5% 13-Jan-94 22:52:32 +NEWCON.info 84 79 5.9% 13-Jan-94 22:50:30 +VNC 481 264 45.1% 13-Jan-94 22:52:32 +VNC.info 105 94 10.4% 13-Jan-94 22:49:00 +Mount_NEWCON 102 88 13.7% 13-Jan-94 22:49:36 +Mount_VNC 1380 356 74.2% 03-Nov-96 17:28:28 +Disk.info 628 267 57.4% 16-Feb-97 19:31:48 +Extras.info 3980 2388 40.0% 02-Nov-96 20:09:56 +FastFonts 568 278 51.0% 03-Aug-94 20:00:12 +FastFonts.info 284 251 11.6% 02-Nov-96 20:10:54 +PatchAlloc 1140 788 30.8% 02-Nov-96 20:10:40 +PatchRAM 14688 9310 36.6% 02-Nov-96 23:10:54 +spatch 3936 2518 36.0% 03-Nov-96 00:35:02 +StringSnip 4192 1970 53.0% 09-Feb-97 00:59:30 +TrueMultiAssigns 628 269 57.1% 16-Feb-97 19:31:48 +Guides.info 208496 74306 64.3% 16-Feb-97 19:31:26 +VNC.guide 537 285 46.9% 02-Nov-96 20:15:20 +VNC.guide.info 628 273 56.5% 16-Feb-97 19:31:48 +Include.info 2142 921 57.0% 02-Nov-96 20:25:24 +Lib_Readme 8707 2873 67.0% 09-Feb-97 01:08:16 +vnc_lib.fd 7806 2502 67.9% 09-Feb-97 01:08:24 +vnc_lib.i 26896 6286 76.6% 02-Nov-96 20:20:00 +vnc_stub.base.lib 27032 6326 76.5% 02-Nov-96 20:20:04 +vnc_stub.lib 25976 6087 76.5% 02-Nov-96 20:19:58 +vnc_stub.rr.base.lib 26420 6100 76.9% 02-Nov-96 20:20:02 +vnc_stub.rr.lib 1879 857 54.3% 21-Jun-94 19:45:26 +VNCDemo.c 628 268 57.3% 16-Feb-97 19:31:48 +Install.info 576 333 42.1% 03-Nov-96 16:17:20 +Deutsch.info 587 341 41.9% 03-Nov-96 16:17:10 +English.info 43349 9889 77.1% 26-Jan-97 19:57:28 +Install_VNC 628 266 57.6% 16-Feb-97 19:31:48 +LIBS.info 81324 49958 38.5% 16-Feb-97 19:30:08 +vnc.library 628 267 57.4% 16-Feb-97 19:31:48 +LOCALE.info 6728 2700 59.8% 14-Feb-97 23:43:28 +VNC.prefs.catalog 1228 704 42.6% 14-Feb-97 23:43:28 +VNC.sys.catalog 6728 2701 59.8% 16-Feb-97 19:31:08 +VNC.prefs.catalog 1228 704 42.6% 16-Feb-97 19:31:08 +VNC.sys.catalog 628 270 57.0% 16-Feb-97 19:32:38 +Localize!.info 6192 3900 37.0% 16-Feb-97 19:32:10 +CreateCatalog 30582 10287 66.3% 16-Feb-97 19:32:10 +prefs.construct 6222 2643 57.5% 16-Feb-97 19:32:10 +ReadMe 438 225 48.6% 16-Feb-97 19:32:58 +ReadMe.info 2671 1112 58.3% 16-Feb-97 19:32:10 +sys.construct 10614 3315 68.7% 16-Feb-97 19:32:10 +sys1.asm 1298 571 56.0% 16-Feb-97 19:32:10 +sys2.asm 1614 690 57.2% 16-Feb-97 19:32:10 +sys3.asm 1880 809 56.9% 16-Feb-97 19:32:10 +sys4.asm 632 322 49.0% 16-Feb-97 19:31:48 +Prefs.info 325 230 29.2% 02-Nov-96 20:32:34 +VNC-Configuration 479 223 53.4% 02-Nov-96 20:32:46 +VNC-Configuration.info 697 490 29.6% 02-Nov-96 20:13:48 +SetVNC.info 7799 3185 59.1% 14-Feb-97 23:49:40 +ReadME 471 209 55.6% 16-Feb-97 19:31:48 +ReadME.info 628 268 57.3% 16-Feb-97 19:31:48 +S.info 17 17 0.0% 02-Nov-96 20:17:06 +bg 50 50 0.0% 02-Nov-96 20:17:00 +fg 383 222 42.0% 02-Nov-96 20:17:10 +fork 514 167 67.5% 22-Jan-97 08:51:40 +InstallVNC 71 71 0.0% 22-Jan-97 08:50:18 +More 736 309 58.0% 02-Nov-96 20:17:38 +SetFont 255 148 41.9% 02-Nov-96 20:17:22 +SetKeyboard 768 347 54.8% 16-Feb-97 19:31:48 +Shell.info 765 344 55.0% 16-Feb-97 19:31:48 +Shell_VNC.info 4679 2128 54.5% 14-Feb-97 23:54:02 +ViNCEd.readme 471 212 54.9% 16-Feb-97 19:31:48 +ViNCEd.readme.info -------- ------- ----- --------- -------- 634235 247548 60.9% 18-Feb-97 23:51:38 72 files
