- This is a modified version of Matthew Dillon's macro editor, DME.
-
- The following changes were made :
- -The window close routine is much more reliable, and it now closes windows
- immediately, thus freeing the memory, which is important if you're editing
- more than 10 files at once or so and use a batch file to load them all
- up at once [usually I like to edit 30-50 files at once...].
-
- -As requested by Paul Cardwell, a proportional gadget has been added to the
- window, and reqtools.library is supported like asl.library.
-
- -The rexx interface is now asynchronous and continuously processed.
-
- -Also requested by Paul, if dme finds that a rexx port named "DME" exists
- on startup and the "-n" ("new dme") option is not specified, it will ask
- the "DME" port to load up the requested files and then quit. Thus only
- one dme should be running at a time.
-
- -An option "-i" iconifies the windows after the files are loaded. Only
- tested for rexx or one file at a time.
-
- -rxblock/rxunblock/getval commands, rexxport variable for rexx; see the
- rexx addendum.
-
- -several misc. commands; see the updated dme.doc.
-
- The version number and credits were to the most part not changed, because I'm
- too lazy. I am releasing this mainly because I'm tired of having to call a
- rexx script just to do string/number comparisons, and I'm tired of having to
- modify someone else's editor to get what I want, so I'm abandoning work on dme.
- Besides, I've so far modified/ported about 12 programs for the Amiga, and I
- generally just sit on them until someone else does the port/modifications, and
- then it's too late to release anything.
- Since I am disappointed with dme, emacs, and mg, I will probably (this summer
- or so) either make an editor of my own or go through and fix all the problems
- I percieve in dme.

- That's all folks; If in doubt, read the docs. If still in doubt, use the
- force -- read the source.
