Thanks Laaca! That's a lot of changes! I've posted a news item about
this on the FreeDOS website. There are too many changes to list them
all in the news item, so I highlighted the ones that looked like most
people would see the improvements, or would help the most people.

I've also mirrored this at the FreeDOS files archive at Ibiblio.

Can we not use "P.S." to add some unrelated topic in list emails? As Liam
pointed out elsewhere, this is called thread hijacking and is considered
rude to everyone.

If you want to talk about a different topic, please start a new thread so
everyone can follow it.

I was very confused to see a conversation about TRCH (repeated without
context from the BTTR forums) in a thread about the Blocek editor. I almost
missed this TRCH conversation because I don't use Blocek so I wasn't
following the thread.

DJGPP's TextUtils has TR.EXE (but I'm not familiar with it):

You could try Gnuish, for the same reason.

Or http://6.buric.co/bsdtr.zip which I just kitbashed in 2 minutes out of 
some old BSD source code.


-uso.

While not a clone of TR, VSTR (part of V8Power Tools) will convert case along 
with several other things. Mostly some of text related functionality similar to 
several Unix/Linux tools that are needed by the OS installer. Things like 
search and replace, stripping indentation and blank lines, return fields for 
lines, etc.

Being part of V8PT, it is installed with BASE and FULL. It is also available 
when booting the LiveCD.

Hi!


Hello, few days ago I released the version 1.7 of my text Editor Blocek.


Great news, I was already waiting for an announcement here or on Jim's 
channels :-)



+ many improvements in the graphical user interface (GUI)

...

+ the scope of the Search or Search and Replace functions can be limited to
text block only


 :-)


+ Now can work even with graphic cards with non-continuous video memory
(like GeForce RTX 2060)


Is that "RAM line length differs from pixel count" or more complex?


+ now can fixate the word-wrapping not only for the whole document but also
for selected block only.


Fixate as in freeze? Or can it re-wrap to some (selectable?) width?

Regards, Eric

PS: I noticed that Jim's TRCH only translates one char at a time,
do we already have a variant which is as powerful as Linux "TR",
supporting for example TR 'a-z' 'A-Z' or TR -d '\n' and so on?
Non-DOS Notepad++ text editor also juggles with upper/lower case.
