Alt+1 toggles the "discard the first 100 lines" option and then reloads the source file
Alt+2 toggles the "discard the first 200 lines" option and then reloads the source file
Alt+3 toggles the "discard the first 300 lines" option and then reloads the source file. Alt+C performs the same function as ALT+3. Since "discard the first 300 lines" works best for the CNN site, I selected Alt+C as a reminder.
Ctrl+E marks the text from the current cursor position to the end of text.
The following key combinations work in PMStripper and many other OS/2 applications.
Shift+Home moves the cursor to the top of the text
Shift+End moves the cursor to the end of the text
Ctrl+Shift+Home selects the text from the current position to
the top of the text
Ctrl+Shift+End selects the text from the current position to
the end of the text
Added support for saving drag & drop color and font changes made to the information area below the main window. This should make PMStripper easier to use for OS/2 users with vision problems.
Added a "Save Marked Text To File" option under "File" on the menubar.
New in PMStripper 1.20
Added support for drag & drop color and font changes made to the menubar. This should make the utility easer to use for OS/2 users with vision problems.
Fixed a bug in the naming of the profile file when the environment variable in the config.sys file is used to specify the location of the file.
New in PMStripper 1.19
This release is a bug fix release. It fixes bugs in the option that allows the user to specify a default directory for the HTML source files. These bugs appear to have been present since version 1.14.
This option is disabled in the shareware version, so a new shareware version has not been released.
New in PMStripper 1.18
Added current background and foreground color to the information saved when the 'Save Settings' option is selected.
Added some additional translations for word processor codes to the 'Translate quotes' option.
Updated the PMStripper documentaion to include the 'Use idle time priority' and 'Reset to default colors' options.
New in PMStripper 1.17
Fixed a bug that could cause PMStripper it to abort. This could happen if the user had too much text marked when the user pressed ALT+S or selected "Save As" from the menu. With the fix, if there are more than 1024 characters the program does not attempt to use the marked text as a filename. If there are less then 1024 and more than 254 marked characters, the text is truncated and then used as the file name.
Added a 'Translate quotes' to the strip options. This option translates the "smart quotes" used on some web pages into the standard ascii values (0x93 and 0x94 are changed to 0x22). The "smart apostrophes" are translated to standard ascii (0x91 and 0x92 are changed to 0x22). The two "special hyphen" characters are translated to standard ascii (0x96 and 0x97 are changed to 0x2d). The 0x85 character is translated into 3 periods (0x2e) to approximate an elipsis character. In addition the 0xA0 and the 0x99 characters are translated to a space. The translation is done before any html character enties are translated, so this option should not effect languages that use those characters as part of their normal text.
Added an 'Only http type' option to the URL options. This option limits the URLs to those links containing a http reference. The "normal" URL detection looks for htlm code containing href and will find gopher, ftp, mailto, and relative links to other web pages as well as complete URLs.
