Well, I've finally gotten around to converting the xwperc into a text file instead of the current binary format. I have a rudimentary version working. (All options are the same name as the variables in xwpe making the file incomprehensible.) Interestingly if you save the option file when you first start and you save it after loading the CHANGELOG you get two different results. (I hate memory bugs.) The current format looks like: [General] Version : 1.5.11a Dtmd : 110 Prnt : 0 Autosv : 0 Maxcol : 120 Tabn : 8 Maxchg : 999 Numundo : 10 Infofile : /usr/info [Color/Term] er : 15 4 79 es : 10 4 74 I'll probably create a conversion tool for converting the old to new which every upgrading will need to run in order to keep their defaults.
