1. 3.0.0 bug in puts

There seems to be something wrong with puts to console in 3.0.0

puts(1,"\tWS_EX_NOINHERITLAYOUT = #00100000, -- Disable inheritence of
mirroring by children\n")

(all one line) under 2.4 I get a single line split at "by" (ie col 80)
whereas under 3.0.0 I get line splits at "rr", "by", and "re". Add and
remove leading tabs for more weird effects, it seems to be auto-lining
up/splitting text with the end of the initial tabs (ie column 8).

Thanks. I see something similar with exw, but not with ex or exu.
exw looks fine if I remove the leading \t.
I'll look into it tomorrow. It might be an accidental
change related to removing ncurses in the Linux/FreeBSD code.
Maybe I changed the Windows console code somehow.

lol

I had put some work into an FTP-based editor a while ago and had
offered to throw together an implementation for Edita. But... I've
been working a lot lately, so I haven't had much time. If I can get it
knocked out, then soon... otherwise somebody else needs to step
forward. :)

Yes, that sounds like the same bug that affected Pete Lomax
and Matt Lewis.

I believe I've fixed it now.
Please test one or both of:

   http://www.RapidEuphoria.com/uploads/exw.exe

   http://www.RapidEuphoria.com/uploads/exwc.exe

I found bugs in the handling of tabs and the handling
of long lines that need to wrap around (in be_w.c - expand_tabs()). 
ex and exu are also affected, but to a lesser extent than exw. 
I'll issue a new 3.0.1 release in the not-too-distant future.

Thanks, here it is:

The bug also affects translated programs since the
same expand_tabs() routine is used there too.
Perhaps 3.0.1 is only a few days away. What do the
open source people say? "Release early, release often!"

I make quick and dirty patches by zipping the project and using xdelta on the
archive to make a binary delta file.
This eliminates the need to track individual files etc, and the deltas are
fairly efficient despite the compression.

Er... LOL
Actually, thanks to you kicking me up the bum, I have finally got some
code downloaded ages ago (just over 10 weeks, innit?) working today,
though it is more fiddly than I first imagined. No real worries, but I
think a standalone ftp client first, and maybe have it end up one that
'talks' to Edita. Given workload and next week away, Dec=optimistic!

The more I think on it, it surprises me that after all this time
no-one ever submitted a CuteFTP clone to the archives (though the one
I plan to submit may look rather more like the FreshFTP I use).

At least now I know pretty much exactly what to do, and am starting to
get a basic grasp on what all those options in my ftp client mean!
