[Lane R. <la...@if...>]

The latest version of HexEdit, v1.80, has been released on SourceForge
and the IFD site. There were many user experience and GUI improvements
and fixes, including color windows now being standard, with several user-
definable color schemes added. Under Mac OS X and 8/9 with CarbonLib
installed (most users) you can now use a scroll wheel to scroll HexEdit
windows. The latest version can be downloaded from:

<http://www.ifd.com/hexedit.ws4d>

04/29/02 1.80
Re-arranged distribution folder to be more end-user friendly
New icons are copy-pastable in the finder's info windows
Removed per-window offscreen drawing surface
	(a single color capable offscreen is now used for all windows)
Single offscreen means memory usage goes WAY DOWN, a very good thing
Single offscreen means flickering of selection no longer happens
Single offscreen means slower drawing speed, only noticable on older Macs
Major re-arrangement of EditWindow.c to be easier to follow
Windows zoom is now restricted to full line height at window creation
Open/Save dialogs now get prompt at load, including Nav dialogs!
Re-layed out window to handle files of huge size (ie, 8 chars for hex
addresses!)
Re-layed out header to reflect larger file size handling (8 chars per hex
address!)
Positioning of vertical lines now relative to body draw position (in code)
Windows no longer grow below bottom of screen
Fixed problem where data file w/no resource fork didn't display correct
error message
Cleaned up some opening code (to not duplicate functionality)
Fixed a few memory leaks when failing to open a file's fork
Fixed a possible condition that could leave files open
No longer resize the window when you try to re-open an open file

Fixed update of outline in ascii area, bottom right edge was 1 pixel short
Added an error specific to saving files when the original is moved or deleted

Scrolling speed of drags now gets faster the further from the window the
mouse goes
Fixed cut not copying selection deleted; it does now, just like copy :)

Holding "Option" when selecting Compare Files menu option forces file
selection dialogs
Menu routines now passed the key modifiers state (see above, below)

front window

(Home/End)
New option to cause page up/down to  only move display, not change edit
cursor position
Comparison mode now allows available menu command keys to work

previously)

	(sure wish someone would create a set of colors that looked good :)
Minimum Window size is now 10 lines

Added EF's carbon events code to allow mouse wheel to scroll window contents
Trying to go to an address outside of the window's file size signals
error with a beep
Optimized some calculations of window display position
When scrolling in very large files we now always position to the first
byte of a display line
Fixed problem with tabbing between hex and ascii fields, (boolean ops on
non-booleans bad) 
most enums are now typedefs so they can be used as data types (see above
fix for example :)

<unreleased> 1.77
Incorporated file compare window changes from Nick Pissaro
Major re-arrange of main.c to be easier to follow
Removed all "CompareFlag" references, now pass type of window to functions
