A new VEDIT 6.12 beta-test, dated 03-May-2004 is now available on our website; assuming no major problems are found, it will be the release version. It can be downloaded from:

http://www..../download/vp64-beta.exe

It primarily has most of the minor enhancements, new macros and bug fixes that have been recently discussed in this conference.

VEDIT's installation macro uses the new Create_Shortcut() command which results in a more stable (and faster) installation.

The veditlog.txt lists the significant improvements and fixes:

Somehow it seems that the macros
clipcatch.vdm
linefilt.vdm
opencurs.vdm
are not the currrent versions.

I attached the current ones here.

LINEFILT.VDM (9KB)
 
OPENCURS(1).VDM (9KB)
 
CLIPCATCH.VDM (10KB)

A new VEDIT 6.12 beta dated 04-May-2004 is now available at:

http://www..../download/vp64-beta.exe

The installation should now work properly with non-English versions of Windows. (I.e. the location of the Start menu is now taken from the registry.) It has been tested with Windows XP, Windows 2000, Windows 98, and the 64-bit (beta) version of Windows XP for the AMD Athlon64.

The latest versions of Christian's macros are now included (I hope).

While a new version of COLOR.VDM, enhanced by Pauli Lindgren, is also included, we plan to finish some further improvements tomorrow.

Ted.

Ted,

one problem in the installation: you're trying to set up the program group
in a folder "Programs" which failed here, because on my german W2k this
folder's name is "Programme"!

Cheers

Michael

You was some minutes earlier than me! :-)

I think I found a solution and posted it to Ted directly.
(It's not yet implemented of course.)

This has been fixed in the 6.12 beta dated 04-May-2004. Silly of me to overlook this!
