Hi,

Announcing the release of cfdos version 3.0 and cfdos3.blk at
http://www.inventio.co.uk/cfdos.htm.

Changes are listed at http://www.inventio.co.uk/cfdos3.htm , major new
features are  :

cfdos.com :
Now uses Read/Write file access to read the *.blk files for its directory
listing. This works around a feature of DOS windows in Windows XP/NT/2000
( but not Win98 ) to allow cfdos to work reliably in these environments.

cfdos3.blk
"or" has been renamed "xor" and "or" has been added, both now have the usual
ANS functionality. All source has been modifed accordingly.

The colorForth Editor is now mostly ported to colorForth. This has been much
harder than I predicted - the last few evenings have been spent adding a
string stack ( block 212 ) to allow deletions to be undone. The string stack
uses two circular buffers ( block 208 ) and stores the deleted text in block
210, so that you can copy it again if required. Note that only the first
0xE0 cells ( defined by "sze" ) of each block are used by the editor to
allow 128 bytes of version control info to be added. The string stack can
cope with variable length token strings. Comments on these blocks welcome...

Next is "key" and "pack" - if anyone has these ported to colorForth already,
please let me know...

The usual applications are still there :
dump icons print north rtc lan colors wood mand sound gr eth life ed slime
int
( Please note that "eth" should display the PC's ethernet card's registers,
but has still not been tested by me. )
For details of these please download and run cfdos.com V3.0 and press the P
key twice...

Thanks to the many contributors...

Enjoy!
