   ***********New features in A3E_100, released 920206

  Changed name, from USA to A3E (Ansi Ascii Avatar Editor), due to
   nameconflicts with another program.

  Fill block with foreground and background.

  Topmenu will restore the last position

  Fixed a bug in commandline loading. It didn't use the right
   directory...

  Added a "configuration easyfier" It's rather big, so if you dont need
   it, just delete it. A texteditor would work just fine.

  !!!!!!!!!!!!! The registrationkey will only work as a separate file:
   !!!!!!!!!!!!!         A3E.KEY

  Introduced "InvertUnderCursor". A feature that always will make your
   cursor visible in editormode. Configurable, but "on" by default.

  Speeded up Avatarsave, ALOT!

  Menuoption to show all solidspaces, so you want have to scan the whole
   screen with your cursor.

  The Mirror image truly mirrors, try to flip some of the line
   characters :-)

  Joel designed an even more marvellous logo before my one got time to
   reach the stars :-)

  A Brand new menusystem in blockmode. added some extra blockfeatures.

  Every choicewindow (with more then one column) wraps in a more natural
   way

  Fixed a bug in centerline

  Implemented Execswap, and made it configurable (USESWAP), default = OFF

  Big spellcheck in documentation, thanx to Per Brax and Paul Leffler.

  EGA has been confirmed working.

  FileMask *.$$$ gives a directory containing the files with the default
   ansi, ascii or avatar extensions.

  Moved Save Undo to Shift Esc, so it won't interfere with multitaskers.

  Cursor size in input is now the same as in editor.

  The undo-window is saved prior to clearscreen.

  Fixed a cause of runtime error! Tabsize must be a number between
   1-79.

  CTRL-Space gives a space with default background.

  Backspace and delete won't mess up your screen if you have insert
   off.

  When you are prompted to save (at Quit or load), Esc will terminate
   the command, and return you to the editor.

  Saves, and restores old screensize upon return to DOS

  Designed a marvelous (?) logo that is displayed in the beginning and
   the end.

  Introducing Solid Space (ShiftSpace), works in for example block and
   ruler.

  ALT Q - Ruler

  Configuration Spellcheck. Unknown commands will alert.

  Added several configcommands:
      DefaultCGAEGA
      AdaptInDraw
      ATKeyPad
      WordStar

  Fixed a bug in Ansisave (screwed up long lines).

  Mirrorimage in blockmode.

  Additional improvement on input-function: Text will be coloured
   differently, before first keystroke, to indicate that a charater
   will erase the text.

  Fixed some bad behaviour in delete- and insertline


***********New features in usa008, released 920114

  Adjust block, you may center, rightadjust and leftadjust a block

  Cursorsize indicated insertstatus

  Some bugs with curpos was fixed

  Extralines: you can specify how many extra linefeeds you want to
   have at the end of the file.

  ClearScreen has a shortcut on Shift home.

  Lineadjustment works better, a space with a forground is now
   considered a space, not a character.

  Inputfunction has been improved (end moves to the position after the
   last character. If the first key to be pressed is a character, the
   prior string will disappear).

  Blocks can be marked with space (first space means "begin block",
   second means "end block".


***********New features in usa007, released 911218

  A weird bug in TP (nope, it was NOT my fault) made things bugout in the
   "write-to screen", that has been fixed now. (mainly occured after
   commandline-loads)


***********New features in USA006, released 911215

  Corrected the loadfile-routines a bit. By now they should never
   generate runtime-errors.

  512 files in directorylisting possible

   Corrected a bug in ansisave-routine (thanks fredrik)

  Configurable clock on statusrow

  Possibility to load file direct from commandlineprompt.

  Nicer looking messages in startup.


***********New features in USA005, released 911123

  USA.EXE is now compressed with PKLite. Does it work for you?

  User now gets to confirm the savemodes each time a file is saved for
   the first time. (not only NONAMEs)

  Shortcuts in Directorylisting (pressing a letter will move to the
   first dir/file that starts woth that letter).

  BIG bug in Avatar fixed, X and Y koordinates were mixed, resulting
   in real spagetti.

  A strong suggest not to sort the BBScodes, please read the docs
   (BBSCodesection for more details)

  Alphabetical sorting of the BBSCodes. Configurable

  Registrationcodes. Without it, only 10 BBSCodes will be available.

  Possibility to choose wether CTRL-Y Shall delete a line (like
   ALT-Y) or return an asciichar (like the other CTRL-kombinations).

  EGAaware, the changescreensize-function will now work with EGAadapters
   too, I think, I dont have one so it's not yet tested.


***********New features in USA004, released 911111

  New blockmode-feature: Exchange

  NOTE! My Fidoadress will change from 400.3 -> 408.3 because of some
   administrative reasons.

  Handles other drives than C:

  Unfurl BBSCodes (ALT - U), expands codes to show a piece of reality.

  The F1 for online help is no longer only in the doc, but also in the
   program :-)

  USA will now restore the previous DOS-colors upon exiting.

  Instead of the topmenu the highest row on the screen can be used to
   display the current charset a little more extensive than before on
   the statrow. (toggle with ALT - M)

  Did some cleaning up on the statusrow

  Added Blockfeatures:
   * Last block, will retrieve the coordinates of the last block
   * Fill, Will work as an ordinary framefill, but just in the area of
     the block

  OSshell will use your ordinary commandinterpretator (the one found
   in ComSpec), and it is reachable from ALT - Z

  Multiple pages. Up to 8 pages (configurable) can be active in either
   VGA/CGA-size (if you have the memory :-) Use ALT+J to switch pages.
   Also available when you are in blockmode.

  Bugfix related to displaying directory when loading files

  Another bugfix in the framefilloption.


***********New features in USA003, released 911102******************

  PgDown/PgUp will have a meaning in normal editormode, Pup will move
   to the upper left corner, PDown to the Lower right corner.

  In block mode:
      Home will move the block as far to the left as possible.
      End            -    "    -             right -   "   - .
      PUp            -    "    -             up    -   "   - .
      PDown          -    "    -             down  -   "   - .

  Shell to dos is implemented, and should work. It is not tested very
   much, cause from TP there is not enough memory, but when I tried it
   from DOS it seamed to work.

  ALT - A will from now on mean Attributechange, this is a combination
   of ALT F and ALT B, and will show you a grid of all possible
   colorcombinations. Move around and choose :-) "B" toggles blink.

  Shortcuts in the menues. In every menuchoice there will be one
   letter highlighted. Pressing this letter will fastchoose this
   option.

  AVATAR! Support for Loading and saving in avatarformat!

  LoadMode, a little option in the config, choose between
   Ansi/avatar/auto. read the docs.

  Screenblanker. Default blanks the screenafter 5 minutes,
   configurable.

   your default startdir.

  Some minor bugfixes and cleanups. Forgot exactly what.
