Archive-name: auto/comp.windows.x.apps/Official-patch-for-aXe-3-0-on-export

I've placed aXe-3.0.1.tar.Z and the patch aXe-3.0-3.0.1.patch.Z
bringing 3.0 up to 3.0.1 on export. The patch fixes some minor
bugs that have been reported and makes a change that has been
suggested by a number of people to the behaviour of the file
selector, which is that the directory that is initially displayed
is determined differently. It is now either

 o the directory of the file already being edited in the buffer, e.g. 
   as a result of a file having been specified on the command line or
   loaded via the minibuffer; or

 o the directory associated with the parent buffer of the buffer
   owning the file selector. The parent buffer is the buffer that
   was visible when New or New + Load was selected from either the
   Window or Buffer menu. The association is made at the time of
   creation of the window/buffer; or

 o the working directory associated with the invocation of aXe, i.e.
   the position at the previous version of aXe. 

Here is the standard blurb for those who do not know about aXe.

                           ...oooOOOooo...

aXe is a simple to use text editor for X that represents a significant
improvement over xedit. Also built around the Athena Text Widget it
features, amongst other things,

   o multiple windows
   o multiple buffers
   o default menu interface
   o optional button interface, with choice and layout of buttons 
     under user control
   o minibuffer for expert use and access to external filters
   o provision for defining a keyboard macro
   o geometry specification and resizing in terms of characters
   o file selection via a browser
   o knowledge of line numbers
   o parenthesis matching
   o ability to change font
   o easy entry of control codes
   o xterm-like keymap feature
   o easy runtime setting of selected preferences (resources)
   o server mode
   o both brief and comprehensive on-line help
   o collection of reusable widgets that embody the functionality of aXe

aXe was developed on a Sun SLC under SunOS 4.1.1 running MIT X11
Release 5 (patchlevel 9) and has been ported to an Encore Multimax
running UMAX 4.3 in the same environment. An attempt has been made to
cater for Release 4 (patchlevel 18) but there is a major problem that
has yet to be resolved. I have no experience of porting to System V.

aXe is available by anonymous ftp from export.lcs.mit.edu (18.24.0.12)
initially, and probably in due course from several other ftp sites.
Check your nearest using xarchie.

If you can't ftp, try sending email to ftpmail@decwrl.dec.com with the
word "help" alone in your message body.  You will receive instructions
on how to ftp via email.
