Significant release: * Two important bug fixes. One prevents OS/8 from incorrectly believing that the DSK device handler is already in core when E8 requests it be loaded. The other involved incorrect handling of the mark. Both caused a hard crash in certain rare cases. * Much faster screen update. Useful at real PDP-8 speeds, not noticeable on superspeed simulators. * Custom screen and memory size settings are made without editing E8 source. See the manual for details. * E8 responds to escape sequences sent by special keys on modern keyboards. The arrow keys, home, end, page up/down, delete. The manual has more details. check-in: c5134e0ca6 user: bsilver tags: trunk, v7

Removed all dependence on EAE. Changed all cases except one where it was used to non- EAE equivalents; some got a little less elegant, but whatever. The only semi- justified use of EAE was an integer divide, which in this version is done with plain PDP-8 instructions, modeled on the non-EAE divide implementation from DEC that Vincent Slyngstad gave me but not so ugly. I think the final result is cleaner is some ways. check-in: 765e41ba35 user: bsilver tags: trunk, v6

Fixed a memory reference bug and improved several code comments. check-in: 3f3d1bc916 user: bsilver tags: trunk, v5

Added a limited undo feature to recover deleted characters. (See the manual for a description.) Also followed suggestions from Vince and Steve. Note that this version doesn't clear the screen on exit, it just puts the cursor at the last line. check-in: e0bba00839 user: bsilver tags: trunk, v4

Added query-replace. Also switched from the PIP-friendly sharded code organization (E8.PA thru EG.PA) to PAL8 files with code grouped by function, which then gets transformed to a PIP-friendly version and an "all" amalgamation. (The script to do that isn't checked in at this point, because the original version was in C#, and its PiDP-8/I friendly alternative wasn't created until later.) check-in: ed2ce9bb82 user: bsilver tags: trunk, v3

Added five new commands including search for previous search string and forward and back one word. check-in: f4b1eb35ab user: bsilver tags: trunk, v2

Added the ^F option during an incremental search. The code has lots more comments, and the executable is unchanged except for a couple of trivial simplifications. check-in: 94b1049973 user: bsilver tags: trunk, v1

Initial version published to the PiDP-8 mailing list: https://groups.google.com/d/msg/pidp-8/d6edAjHiWWY/8MLYob9_BwAJ In retrospect, calling it "v0". check-in: 1f9d32d836 user: bsilver tags: trunk, v0
