- \ ZNOTES.TXT Notes on the new Z editor by Tom Zimmer
-
- The KERNEL.COM file included in this archive is slightly different
- than the normal F-PC kernel file. This kernel was compiled with four
- (4) threads, rather than 64 to save space, and the read buffer
- defaults to 2000 bytes. Since we will only be compiling once in a
- while the slightly slower compile will not matter.
-
- Many of the editor utilities can be omitted if you want a smaller
- editor. I have been able to get the editor down to 41k by stripping
- out everything including menus, help and printing. If you want to try
- this, put a "\" in front of every line in the Z.SEQ file that has the
- word OPTIONAL at the end.
-
- This will make the editor much smaller, but will also remove most
- of the nice features, so remove things with caution.
-
- Converted Z to use the new memory limited editor rather than a
- fixed 64k limit. It should now be possible to edit much larger files.
-
- Converted Z to work with larger displays up to 132 columns by 44
- lines.
