A newer preliminary VEDIT 6.13 dated 09/06/2004 is now available at:

http://www.vedit.com/download/beta/vw-pro64.exe

Here is the veditlog.txt so far:

VEDIT LOG (veditlog.txt)

Improved regular expression support for "|" and "\b"

Fix - Unsupported search regular expression "*?" could crash

Fix - On-line help for {ESCAPE} menu could crash
Obscure - COMMAND: prompt line editing confused by task switching
Obscure - syntax error in VEDIT.CFG file could crash
Obscure - Regular Expression within a block could lock up

Technical - New Version_Num(EXTRA) command option
Technical - New Version_Date command

Technical Fix - Dir_Date() didn't add "/" to long directory names
-------------

Compared to the last preliminary 6.13:

* New {EDIT, Convert, CSV to Flat} converts CSV file to Flat
(However, this macro is not yet completed; for now I am just using
Christian's TAB2FIX-2.VDM.)

* New {MISC, More macros, BASE64) decodes Base64 file into text

* New {MISC, More macros, REN-FILES) renames groups of files
(This is the latest rewrite of Christian's previous FILE-REN.VDM macro.)

* The number of tab stops has been increased to 257.
That should be enough. :-)

Ted.

I installed 6.13.1 using the Quick option, which worked quite well.
(This installed EBCDIC trial, which I normally bypass as I haven't played with EBCDIC or COBOL for nearly 20 years, and plan to keep it that way.)

One minor point.

VEDIT (32-Bit) Ver. 6.13.1 09/04/04
has VERSION info vpw.exe VEDIT Editor (6.13.1 [6.13.1.0])

VEDIT Pro (64-Bit) Ver. 6.13.1 07/16/04
has VERSION info VPW64.EXE VEDIT Editor (6.12.1 [6.12.1.0])

Is this the latest VEDIT Pro?

I avoid the incompatibilities in my programs by putting all the Version info into a single file "version.h", which I include where needed.


One additional issue.
Some time ago I asked about:-
Do_Visual("\ID\")

This still seems to work, but is not mentioned in any vedit documentation.

Sorry, but in the 6.13 from 09/04/04 I forgot to include a new Pro64.

Todays 6.13 dated 09/06/04 includes both.

And there is still some work to do ;-)

I worked a bit more on that macro.
- Some fixes
- Some optimization
- Some better GUI handling

The newest version is available here:

And it works, at least from command mode (Config_Tab()).

But the {Config, Tab/Fill} dialog is still restricted to display
max. 256 characters and to input max. 141 characters.
That is not enough for those many TABs.
