EdHak Version 3.0 DEMO 19 Jun 1993
----------------------
This demo version of EdHak 3.0 is fully functional except that it will not
let you save anything from the edit buffer to a file or to disk sectors.
However, it can be used for viewing any kind of files (even larger than
your RAM), viewing any area of RAM, and viewing disk sectors. It can be
run as either an ACC or PRG just by renaming it. For those of you who
call Compuserve, it is fully functional as an on-line editor for
Compuserve messages when used in conjunction with the version 1.7 or
later of QuickCIS by Jim Ness, BUT you must first rename EDHAK3DM.ACC to
just EDHAK.ACC and then reboot. This is because QCIS looks in memory for
just 'EDHAK' and not 'EDHAK3DM' for an ACC name.
Rather than let yourself get frustrated at not being able to save files
or a new configuration to disk, just take a minute and order the real
version for just $29.95 (or get it from your Atari dealer).

=======================================================================
*** What version 3.01 fixes in 3.00 ***
You can exit the block number dialog (the thing where you get to pick
buffer size or part of file to load) by hitting Return, as it should be.
In TOS 1.0 (or when running in MultiDesk) if you use the menu to go to
the config screen, you now don't instantly skip over the first screen.
With a column block marked, the highlighting now never goes beyond the
edge of the window.
Not exactly a bug fix, but an improved feature: When doing a block
shift left (Ctl-Space), the block now remains highlighted for easy
multiple shifts.
