r346

Windows/DOS binary release

Below are the DOS and DPMI32 binaries for the tvdemo and tvedit applications.

Changelog

Turbo Vision

• Applications fit the console window size instead of the buffer size.
• The console buffer is restored when exiting or suspending Turbo Vision.
• kbCtrlC, Shift+Arrow, kbShiftTab and AltGr key combinations work properly on Windows.
• No busy polling for events on Windows.
• Middle mouse button support (mbMiddleButton), even on DOS.
• Horizontal and vertical mouse wheel support (evMouseWheel), even on DOS.
• Arbitrary screen size support (with up to 65535 rows or columns).
• Graceful handling of screen resize events.
• Support for kbCtrlUp and kbCtrlDown key codes. They can be used to move windows faster with the keyboard (as kbCtrlLeft and kbCtrlRight already did).
• Improved usability of menus: they can be closed by clicking twice on them, even in submenus.
• Improved usability of scrollbars: dragging them also scrolls the page. Clicking on an empty area of the scrollbar moves the thumb right under the cursor. They are responsive by default to mouse wheel events.
• Views don't lose their sizes when extremely resized.

tvdemo

• Support for LF line ending in File Viewer.
• Event Viewer applet useful for event debugging (available in the ≡ menu or with kbAlt0).
• Option to change the background pattern in Options > Background....

tvedit

• Support for files bigger than 64 KiB on 32-bit builds.
• Support for LF line ending. New files use CRLF but existing LF files are kept that way.
• Drag scroll with middle mouse button in the text editor.
• Delete whole word with kbCtrlBack and kbCtrlDel.
• Select all text with kbCtrlA.
• Smart Home key (toggles between beggining of line and beggining of indentation).
• Create new document with kbCtrlN, close window with kbCtrlW.
