[*] Changes

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
FAR 1.70 alpha 6 (build 1658) (15.05.2003) TEST ONLY!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
General
~~~~~~~
[!] Removed the /aw command line parameter. Under Windows NT 4 and higher,
    FAR runs in the Unicode console mode by default. To switch to ANSI
    mode, the command line parameter /8 can be used.


System
~~~~~~
[-] The key bar labels for Alt-F7 in the internal viewer and editor
    were mixed up.

[-] When the "UseNumPad" parameter was on, the key combination Shift+Ins
    on the numeric keypad was not handled correctly.


Copy/Move
~~~~~~~~~
[*] The copy progress indicator is now updated 4 times per second.


Editor
~~~~~~
[-] Some functional keys (for example, F1 - Help) stopped to work
    when plugins using ProcessEditorInput (for example, AutoWrap) were active.

[*] Now the found string is shown at one fourth of the screen height, not
    one third, and it is checked that the string is not covered by the
    replace dialog.

Viewer
~~~~~~
[*] Now the found string is shown at one fourth of the screen height, not
    one third, and it is checked that the string is not covered by the
    replace dialog.

[*] Do not suggest to continue searching from the beginning of the file
    if the search was started at the beginning of the file.

[-] By pressing and holding the mouse button on the top line of the
    viewer scrollbar, it was possible to scroll the viewed text beyond
    the beginning of the file.

[-] Text selection in the viewer did not work properly after searching
    when a word wrap and scrollbar is checked.

[+] New viewer option "Persistent selection". When the parameter is on,
    the selection in the viewer remains when moving through the file.


Quick View
~~~~~~~~~~
[+] Added display of information on the folder compression ratio.
