The manual has NOT been updated. Here is a list of new features.


1) New function: 'Insert file'. You are allowed to insert a file starting from
   the cursor position. Note that here 'insert' means overwrite the previous
   contents of the buffer, not shift them at the end of the inserted file.
   Since Hex's main use is modify executable files, 'insert' in the usual way
   would not make much sense.
   Insert file currently does not affect the undo buffer. I plan to almost
   rewrite the undo functions and most of Hex itself, but not in the near
   future. ShareWare feedback has been absolutely insignificant to push me at
   work again.

2) Configuration is no longer read/stored in the program's directory. It now
   goes in S:, a more pertinent location. This way, however, if you boot from a
   different disk, Hex won't find the configuration file. But there's a way to
   overcome this problem: you can make your configuration the DEFAULT one. Here
   is how to proceed:

   - Create you favourite settings, and save configuration.
   - Load 'S:Hex.config'.
   - Look the first four characters of the file (currently 'HX11').
   - Load 'Hex'.
   - Search the string you read in Hex.config (HX11, we said).
   - Insert 'S:Hex.config'.
   - Save 'Hex'.

   Now your settings are the DEFAULT settings. Hex.config is no longer needed
   and may be deleted.

3) BackSpace was already a synonym for 'Undo', now any qualifier (Shift, Ctrl,
   Alt) + BackSpace means 'Redo'. Of course the menu item 'BackSpace = Undo?'
   must be selected.

4) Keymap 'h' in DEVS:keymaps is no longer needed. It is now built-in.

5) By popular demand... now available 'Save' and 'Save as...'. Note that the
   shortcut Amiga-W refers to 'Save'.

6) Iconify window is correctly sized looking at the WorkBench default font.

7) Minor bugs fixed. The only serious one was a GURU when you used ALTed keys
   in the calculator.

8) Version 2.5 of req.library included in the archive.
