        ThermoNuclear Calcware: A division of House of Fish Enterprises

This is version .82 BETA of my EditPad text editor for the TI-86.  I finally
got the display handler right, though I haven't added the 'Enter' loop (it
needs to display as a series of spaces), and I want to adjust the 'display
offset' correction.  Currently, New, Save, and Open work, and Open Last has
been written, but is useless until I make the Rename routine.  Almost there!!!

NOTE1: I just downloaded Stefano Bonora's TiL program, a slick text viewer for
       the 86.  After checking it out, I discovered that the TiL strings are
       identical to EditPad files - they use $00 for an 'enter' amd are stored
       as strings.  This means that you can view files created with EditPad in
       TiL and edit files created with TXT2TiL in EditPad.  In fact, you should
       use TiL instead of EditPad to view the files you make, because it's a
       quite a bit more viewing-friendly than EditPad is likely to be in the
       near future. ;)

NOTE2: Oops!  I just noticed that TiL's files have an end-of-file maker, $03,
       that EditPad ignores.  This means that .81 files _can't_ be read bt TiL,
       but this version's (.82) can.  Sorry for the inconvenience.

---------------------------------------
Key		Function (*=Not Yet)
---------------------------------------
Clear	Backspace
Enter	*New line
Exit		Leave
F1		New
F2		Open
F3		*Open Last
F4		Save
F5		*Rename

---------------------------------------
Modes:
---------------------------------------
  There are three modes: Upper Case, Lower Case, and 'Literal'.  Upper Case
types the upper case letter that is above whichever key you hit.  I think
you can guess what Lower Case does, then.  'Literal' returns whatever character
is the main function of the key (with one exception - '(-)' is still space).
  The mode indicatior is in the upper right corner:
	Upper Case is indicated by an 'A'
	Lower Case is indicated by an 'a'
	Literal is indicated by a space ;)

---------------------------------------
History and Future:
---------------------------------------
0.1 - Not released
*Using GET_KEY as a keyboard handler
*File is stored in (shudder) _textshadow
*Only 'Exit' key is supported

0.2 - Not released
*Using _getkey so that Alpha and 2nd are handled
*File is stored in $9000 for no particular reason
-'Enter' doesn't work
-'Save' crashes
-'Exit' only works sometimes
-Modes can't be displayed w/o a user interrupt :(

0.3 - Not released
*New keyboard handler that took 200 bytes and couldn't handle 'Literal' mode.
  I scrapped it.

0.4 - First Alpha version (limited release on 06/22/98)
*Using wonderful new keyboard handler inspired bt JMV (Thanks for the source,
*File is stored after the program in _asm_exec_ram                 Joshua!)
*'Literal' mode not supported
+Enter/Exit bug fixed and later tracked down ;)
+-'Save' no longer crashes, but writes random garbage of the proper length

0.5 - First Beta version (released on 06/23/98)
+Literal mode implemented, thanks to clever trick
+Save actually works!  (I was copying from the destination to the source...)
-Still can't change filename
*Major optimization techniques remove 134 bytes (now only 399!)

0.6 - Not released ('Blind' version)
-Display handler removed (hence the 'blind' nickname)
+'Backspace' works
+Save now uses RST 20/10 instead of calls
*A large amount of code related to the display handler was removed from the
  AddChar routine, and the code for 'Enter' was removed.  It's just
  AddChar'd as a '0'

0.7 - Not released
*Used a modified file format - 'Enter' was stored as a series of spaces that
  wrapped the screen.  Simply _puts'd a section of the file starting w/ _curPos
+'New' routine coded - no bugs
+'Load' routine coded - seemed to work, but didn't

0.80 - Small, non-internet release
*Flashy new display routine based on translating the file into s display string
  in _textShadow, still uses _curPos and _puts, kinda flickery
+'Load' bug discovered and fixed (typo)
-'Enter' not yet added to display - waiting for inspiraion (?)
*Bug reported in save routine - DON'T SAVE 0 LENGTH FILES!
*Second optimiztion - saved about 20 bytes

0.81 - Second Beta, bugfix of .80 (released on 07/20/98)
+Display bug fixed (no display after first key was hit)
+'Save' now checks for 0 length files.
*Third optimization - saved about 40 bytes, including a leftover call used by
  the previous display routine

0.82 - Second Beta, bugfix of .81 (released on 07/21/98)
+Fixed 'Save' and 'Open' routines to handle TiL's EOF marker.
---------------------------------------
---------------------------------------
0.9 - Future
*First version w/ all origonally planned features
?Add 'Enter' loop for display routine
?Add 'Rename' routine, activate 'Open Last' code
?Change display offset modifiers to only go up/down a full line
?Reduce delay (number of opcodes) between display re-writes to reduce flicker

1.0 - Future
*First 'official' version
?Add as many user suggestions as possible
