SPFLite will not provide users with a full-blown SPF dialogue system of Panels, Menus or Utility Functions. It is simply the Editor portion of SPF with as many of the features and functions of the editor as I could manage to duplicate. A simple File Manager option is available which provides for file selection for Edit & Browse, as well as a File Delete and Rename function.
Although the editor is almost totally keyboard oriented, like the original SPF, some extensions have been made where they could be added as optional facilities that did not alter functioning for keyboard 'purists'.
One note of caution, SPFLite is NOT suitable for processing files with a large number of lines (> 100,000). Although it will process such files, the internal memory management techniques used may cause performance to slow down to unacceptable levels.
Limitations:
· The unregistered version will issue a registration reminder at termination every 5 - 10 uses
What's New in This Release:
· Correct checking of PROFILE STATE. It was being done after the check for the NTFS status of the drive rather than before.
· Pending line controls (e.g. A/B) were not being correctly detected by primary commands like COPY issued from macros.
· Line command processing was not properly detecting incomplete block commands followed by Immediate commands.
· UU block line commands with the K (keep) modifier were not being properly retained following their use in a command.
· CANCEL command could not be issued if there were line commands in 'Pending' status.
· SAVE issued for a file with zero lines in it was incorrectly skipping the actual writing of the empty file.
· The Tab expansion using the IMPORTTABS value was not correctly expanding text when only 1 character followed the Tab character.
· A replacement EBCDIC.TXT file to alter the EBCDIC ANSI translation was not being properly recognized during initialization.
