Very Computer

I am pleased to announce the new version of Crisp - release 4.1.

For folks not familiar with it, Crisp is a BRIEF compatible text editor on
Unix and Windows platforms which by its power and ease of use set a
standard, that prompted Unix World to rate it as the 'editor to beat'.

Crisp 4.1 is a major milestone in the history of Crisp, in terms of the user
interface and powerful features. It can be safely stated that Crisp 4.1
now offers a true blend of an extremely intuitive user interface with a very
powerful feature set. Crisp 4.1 has the ease of use, usually associated with
Windows based word processor.

Version 4.1 has so many new features that it is difficult to list all of them.
Some of the main ones are listed below:

* Floating tool pallete bar with active icons for the commonly used functions
  this feature is really useful and has a delayed floating help making it
  extremely intuitive and user friendly.

* Completely configurable syntax sensitive colorized coding/viewing that lets
  one see keywords, strings, comments etc. in different colors, underlined,
  bolded etc. Support is provided for the following languages: Ada, Basic,
  C, C++, Cobol, Fortran, Lisp, Pascal, Shell, Verilog, Ingres-Win4gl,
  Sybase Transact SQL.

* X based peel off windows capable of maintaining file consistency.

* Brand new filter mechanism enabling users to pipe in the text in a buffer
  to an external filter [Database isql, awk etc] and have the results show
  up in another Crisp X window. This feature is the basis for integration
  of Crisp with external databases like Sybase/Oracle/Informix/Ingres etc.

* Completely configurable memory configuration management, including delayed
  file reading, source swapping, unlimited file size editing capabilty.

* Brand new file security mechanism. User is informed if the file being
  edited has been modified or deleted by any other process.

* Ability to change file formats [Unix-Dos-Binary] from within.

* Column overlays and sorting of the entire buffer on a columnar key from
  within Crisp.
