      Check for WindowManager 3.97 and ensure Unicode$Path is set in all !Run[D] files, don't set the Alias$@PrintType_FF4 variable, and updated
      
      Customer build ROM obey file variants. Various other changes to
      the Run files for new module versions, updated paths to support
      new positions of choices, hotlist and histories (see later), etc.
      
      !Sprites[22] files hold small !app icons for some variants, and
      an ic_browse sprite. Some variants now have a Sprites and Sprites22
      file instead of just Sprites, with the former containing various
      mode 12 or 15 specific sprites.
      
      Text files dragged to the URL writable are treated as ANT URL files. This
      relies on URLBarWrit (Toolbars.h) being a unique ID, which it should be,
      but beware of the Hotlist and Choices numberspaces...
      
      INPUT TYPE=BUTTON supported. Form items without a FORM tag are now shown
      (as MSIE 4, but not NN 4).
      
      '*', '-', '@', '_' and '.' are not escaped when submitting forms now. The
      Web interface to the IMDb now works.
      
      INPUT TYPE=HIDDEN items will not affect the line height anymore - so
      http://www.hotmail.com/ now has correctly aligned writable icons, for
      example. Similarly, TAG_FORM and TAG_FORM_END items could push up
      line height and don't anymore.
      
      HRs with a specified pixel width will now influence the size of a table
      cell (they didn't before).
      
      BRs now checked by tagno field when the browser needs to know something
      was an actual BR tag rather than just a line break signal, and by the
      style bit entry when only the indication of a line break is required.
      
      Table widths of 0 or 0% are ignored.
      
      Trace.c updated to report height and background fields in a table_stream.
      
      fm_putsl() writes a terminator into the string; the Forms.c routines were
      calling this for displaying INPUT TYPE=PASSWORD fields using the FE_PassCode
      literal string (a line of stars). This write into a read only data area
      would make the debugger fault the access. A local char array is now used
      instead, to get round this (note the use of var[]=literal rather than
      var[sizeof(literal)]; strcpy(var, literal) due to some weird compiler bug
      that copies the wrong thing into 'var' under some (undefined...)
      circumstances).
      
      Text areas don't scroll back to the top line when clicked in anymore;
      single line writables don't scroll back to the left either. When
      reentering a text area from 'above', the caret appears at the top line
      rather than 'somewhere further down'...
      
      ARROWS_MOVE_OUT compile time option at the top of Forms.c defines whether
      you must press Tab/Shift+Tab to move between writable fields in forms or
      if up/down will drop out of them, though if keyboard control is on this
      is enforced (or you get trapped inside the form!).
      
      urlutils_filetype_from_url now uses MimeMap module.
      
      If fetcher is told a page is text, it'll check for a filename extension and
      may choose to use this instead (e.g. it may find it's HTML instead). This
      is to try and get around duff servers... (e.g. http://www.batalarms.co.uk/).
      
      Save dialogues shouldn't flicker when options that don't change the
      filetype are selected (before, the draggable sprite was always reset for
      each selection). Noticed the erroneous setting of a static variable in
      SaveFile.c by a call to this by SaveObject.c, and so added a flag to
      savefile_set_filetype to deal with this - would have been possible to get
      the wrong filetype sent to applications or at best the wrong filetype
      sprite in the dialogue without that.
      
      The caret shouldn't jump out of a form back to the URL writable if the page
      reformats now.
      
      Table background colours now supported (as in the colour you see in the
      border space if the cellspacing is large enough; this is as in MSIE, not
      as in Navigator). Drawfile output routines updated accordingly.
      
      Corrected erroneous use of wimpt_dx() / wimpt_dy() in a couple of places
      in Images.c, which meant that (say) 1x1 images didn't work correctly in
      medium resolution display modes.
      
      Now have support for save as text (component ID and event 0x12) and save
      as Draw (component ID and event 0x13) buttons. Dubious conditions for
      greying and ungreying the print, save source and view source buttons and
      menu options sorted out as part of implementing the same for the two new
      buttons; added greying out of their associated menu items in passing.
      
      Turned kerning on in draw file objects (does mean a rather heinous
      increase in file size, but this is the only way to ensure the draw file
      matches the visible page).
      
      Comments before functions in SaveDraw.c are now complete and up to date.
      
      Image and visit histories now generate a crude hash number to speed up
      searching for items. It does give a speed increase, though it's a
      disappointingly small one.
      
      Issue of left/right margins and cellpaddings sorted out. Now have
      redraw_left/right_margin for finding out the basic gap you must leave.
      redraw_left/right_gap then gives any extra indentation for LI, BLOCKQUOTE
      or whatever. The last two can be subtracted from the display width to
      get an available page width for any section of text. Note that
      redraw_left_gap replaces redraw_margin. The redraw_start_x function
      uses the above to work out where a line's left hand edge should be,
      taking account of left/right/centre alignment. HRs have been fixed now
      (they were quite broken in v1.30, I think) based on this new model and
      the behaviour of MSIE/NN 4.
      
      Fixed width of cells with no contents - cell padding values wouldn't
      have worked properly as the reformatter returns 0 rather than the left
      hand margin size if given no stream.
      
      Removed FM_Absolute flags for Font_Paint (spotted by DBrown) - sets bit
      2, which is reserved...?
      
      IMG width and height in % terms now works correctly; a % of available
      width (after margins and indents) or height on the main page or for
      a table cell, if the image lies in one. Because of the chicken-and-egg
      problem with the latter, the cell must specify a width and/or height
      for things to work properly. If this is not done, you'll usually end
      up with a 1:1 scaled image (as in Navigator 4, rather than ending up
      with no image or even no cell (!), as in MSIE 4).
      
      HEIGHT attribute on a TABLE tag is supported, but only in a crude
      fashion; the extra height (if there is any) is distributed over the
      rows in a linear fashion. This is probably all you have to do in
      practice, but I haven't checked. To maintain a notion of min/max
      height as well as width would of course require a great deal more
      work...
      
      If using client pull to reload a page with a fragment ('...#name')
      specified, then the reload wouldn't work on the same page; it'd just
      jump to the fragment position. This won't happen if b->reloading is
      set now (so works in conjunction with client pull on the same page
      forcing a non-cached fetch). Similarly, if POSTing to such a URL,
      a fetch will proceed (both these fixes done originally for
      http://jupiter.beseen.com/chat/rooms/g/1678/).
      
      browser_inherit split to browser_inherit and browser_inherit_post_data;
      the code for the latter didn't clear any post_data in the child before
      copying from the parent either, and could cause flex errors (now fixed).
      
      Res file for Ursula ('Desktop' Browse) build tweaked - bits in the
      font choices dialogue renamed, and button bar rearranged to hold the
      new Save As Draw button. Other builds have had Save As Draw and
      Save As Text buttons added, or not, depending upon availability of
      suitable sprites, required UI simplicity, etc.
      
      Now have:
      
        Browse$ChoicesFile
        Browse$ControlsFile
        Browse$ChoicesSave
        Browse$ControlsSave
      
      (the last two are new) for loading and saving of the Choices or Controls
      files. If unset, <App$Dir>.Choices or <App$Dir>.Controls will be set.
      E.g., you could set Browse$ChoicesFile to be:
      
        <App$Dir>.Choices,Choices:WWW.(app).Choices
      
      for loading and
      
        <Choices$Write>.WWW.(app).Choices
      
      for saving. (The browser never saves Controls at the moment, so the
      relevant variable above isn't effectively implemented, but could be
      in future). Similarly, to support asymetric loading/saving of the Hotlist,
      there are HotlistSave, HistorySave and ImageHistorySave entries in Choices
      to complement HotlistPath, HistoryPath and ImageHistoryPath (which are used
      for loading). save_save_choices will create directories as needed to obtain
      the given path (and has also been fixed in various areas that hadn't been
      tested out until now; e.g. zero termination of the AppName$ChoicesFile
      variable expansion...). !Run[D] files updated appropriately.
      
      Table widthing code rewritten. Slower, but a lot better on the whole.
      Still has some problems - still needs a final 'make sure nothing is
      below minimum width' scan, which it should be possible to do without.
      No time to fix this at present!
      
      The reformatter will now 'glue together' an LI token followed by any
      non-LI token; so a bullet point followed by an item should not be able to
      have a line break inserted after the bullet because of very tight width
      constraints (it could before - yuk...).
      
      'about:' brings up a page about the browser and any Plug-Ins, as with
      Navigator (for example).
      
      URI files support titles, as per spec. version 8. Saving a current
      location to the Hotlist will thus give a sensible title now (unless
      you're in a frame, so there's no title to get...). Of course, v1.00
      files without a title still work.
      
      Note that NOBR is *not* supported in this build and this combined with
      the new table widther may cause problems on some sites (e.g. Microsoft's
      home page!).

      Andrew Hodgkinson authored
      Not all resources are up to date in this check-in, and documentation both within source and stuff in 'Docs' is out of date or missing - I was very pushed for time on this one... Hopefully will do another 'tidy up' check-in before close on Friday; until then, beware of anything other than the Ursula (Desktop browser) build. Anyway...
      
      Export As Draw done. As part of this, FONT SIZE and SUP / SUB adjustment
      of font size is done in fm_token_font_info rather than fm_find_token_font.
      
      Bullets and switches are plotted as indirected sprite items, rather than
      indirected text + sprite items - this relied on being in a redraw loop to
      pick the sprites up from the local pool (failed during printing).
      
      URI files now have a LF line ending rather than CR... '*' recognised
      as an empty field when loading via. RAM transfer now (only worked for
      loading from disc before).
      
      Gave placeholder bounding boxes 4 OS units more minimum extra gap
      vertically and reduced horizontal addition to this value * 1.5, rather
      than * 2 (see reformat_get_placeholder_size).
      
      Background image tiling starts at ymax - h + 4, rather than ymax, so
      there isn't the bottom line of pixels from the top tile always present
      at the top of the window. The '+4' is for caution's sake.
      
      Can now save a frame's HTML source, that of its parent or its ancestor,
      and the same for the URI pointing to those documents - see Menus.h for
      the relevant component IDs that should lead to the SaveFile dialogue.
      
      Have hopefully fixed timeout = 0 values (i.e. 'forever') on things
      like LinkTo; before, image fetches could override the state (so you'd
      only ever see brief flickers of a given URL as the pointer went over
      a link).
      
      Save File dialogue will remember the state of option or radio buttons
      for a given parent component origin and restore that state when the
      dialogue is next opened from the same place (stops turning on saving
      as a URL file also turning on 'save background images' for Draw file
      export, etc.).
      
      Use of a META tag to reload the *same* page now sets the 'reloading'
      flag in the browser so that it doesn't go through a proxy - otherwise
      pages which are meant to update periodically through client pull
      don't work, as they keep coming out of the cache.
      
      Can now handle images specifying just a width or height in the HTML
      (other dimension is scaled accordingly, but note that the placeholder
      size must still be 'dumb' until the image data comes in). An image
      will now override an image history size entry for the same entry
      with a different size.

      Fixed some glitches in the modified status bar code (e.g. status inference wasn't working properly).
      
      Shift+Toggle size always opened to not obscure the icon bar. If CMOS is
      set to always show the icon bar, then Shift+Toggle size is meant to
      reverse sense and open to absolute full size. It now does this.
      
      !Run[D] files now require URL 0.22, HTTP 0.64, FTP 0.22, Gopher 0.08
      and File 0.32.
      
      Minor overhaul of 'Docs.Notes' (with 'Docs.User' similarly updated) to
      include a few new bits and pieces.
      
      Timeout values of 0 now mean 'forever'. Plug-in status messages now have
      their own timeout setting. New Messages token 'Actv' for extra info when
      a status message times out and the status line drops to 'Viewing' or
      'Ready' when there is still a Busy state registered by the Plug-in.
      
      Small Fetch windows don't become visible briefly for Plug-in fetches
      when the fetch is complete (for SeeFetches:no, where these windows
      should be hidden all the time).
      
      WebServe may be controlled through the Browse front-end via.
      Wimp_MAppControl reason code 4 (Wimp_MAppControl_Configure). Note the
      renaming internally of 'WebServ' or 'WebServe' has been changed to
      'Proxy' (with lower case equivalents where relevant); proxy name
      and starting details come from the Messages file 'ProxyName' and
      'ProxyComm' tokens. More in 'Docs.Notes'.
      
      Res files updated for image history and PRE/TT font aspect ratio
      choices. 'Don't expire' labels changed to 'Expire' (oops, didn't
      notice the change in the development Browse's Res file when I
      updated all of the others until now...).
      
      When printing, Wimp_PlotIcon appears to ignore R4 and R5, plots
      'somewhere' on the page, and tries to get the sprite from the global
      pool. This latter part normally causes an error to be raised; though
      on my machine I just get a corrupted error message. The Desktop font
      gets lost at this point too. All have yet to be fixed; as an
      interim work around, Wimp_PlotIcon objects are never drawn at all
      if the global 'printing' flag is set.

      Andrew Hodgkinson authored
      This is an intermediate check-in to allow work on Choices for the new table options and History choices as detailed below. Res files are not up to date except where indicated and there are several known bugs that will be fixed before the 'final' v1.27 is created. Any work on resources should only be done for the testbed !Browse.
      
      Client side image maps implemented. There is code to draw highlighted
      borders in CSIM.c, but this is not wired in yet; other than that,
      the implementation is functionally complete. As part of this, centralised
      the fetching of a targetted URL taking into account user request of a
      new view and full screen mode, in fetchpage_fetch_targetted. The forms
      library now uses this too, so form buttons respond to both adjust-clicks
      and TARGET attributes.
      
      Fixed APPLET handling where '.class' isn't present in the CODE attribute.
      
      Paragraphs squashed at the top of cells/pages - browser would insert white
      space before.
      
      Now append a ' ' to the end of History menu items to prevent the Wimp
      thinking the end of entries represents a keyboard shortcut (e.g. 'Home').
      
      Netscape's handling of 'meta http-equiv="refresh"' is to start counting
      when the fetch has completed and everything else has died down. The browser
      will now not start counting until the animation handler is deregistered
      (so formatting is complete) to show similar behaviour (note that this
      checks the main handler, not the 'idle but returning to first frame'
      drift handler).
      
      URLs from requests for fetches by Plug-Ins are now relativised.
      
      Page width change tolerance prior to reformat upped from 16 to 32 OS
      units. Hoping to provoke a loosely connected bug with this change!
      
      TableOuter, TableInner and SeeFetches choices added to all Choices
      files, with appropriate loading and saving code in Main.c and Save.c.
      AuthorFTP and AuthorFSh messages added for FTP authentication, and
      dialogue handling code (the component in FetchHTML.c) updated to
      recognise an FTP fetch and alter the dialogue presentation
      appropriately.
      
      All Messages file version numbers taken up to 1.27 (20 Nov 1997).
      
      Following a UseNet suggestion, Ctrl+Toggle Size will increase the window
      size to fill the screen vertically only; horizontal size/positioning is
      not changed.
      
      Shift+Tab in the URL writable will cycle through alternative fetcher
      protocols (from both the Controls file and checking the fetcher modules
      are actually present).
      
      Hotlist doesn't require '://' in URLs when loading HTML, just ':/' - so
      'file:/' URLs now will be reloaded correctly.
      
      History system rewritten completely. GHistSize and VHistSize options
      removed, and replaced by MaxSize and ExpiryAge. Now have global history
      menus with most recently visited items at the top, and local history
      menus which reflect the path that forward/back buttons would take.
      Browsers are robust to background expiry of the History though this is
      not implemented - date expiry and size checks are carried out on
      history_record only. This does mean that with two windows open one could
      have the history expired underneath it whilst another fetched, though;
      the code handles this and update toolbars (greying items) as necessary.
      It is possible to have the history limits so tight that even one entry
      will not fit and again the code copes with this, though values read
      from Choices are limit checked to ensure rather more useful results!
      
      Implemented 'Save' button in save dialogues. Remembers pathnames and just
      replaces the leaf now (hard coded exceptions for <Wimp$Scrap>... and
      <Wimp$ScrapDir>...) - it did before, but only if you'd typed the path
      in. Not many people did, given that you couldn't press Return or click on
      a Save button to use that path...
      
      In a similar vein, files of type Data or DOS will be checked for a '/xxx'
      type extension and the MimeMap module will be used to find a more meaningful
      filetype. If this can be handled, the file is loaded. This only works for
      files dragged to the browser - the behaviour with inline data in web pages
      will depend on the File module, and similarly, if File doesn't spot what is
      going on and claims that the object is data, the browser will just open a
      save dialogue for it.
      
      !RunD files taken up to 3072K WimpSlot.
      
      Hotlist's saved HTML page title wasn't internationalised - is now. This
      opened up a significant can of worms; on file write error, the file would
      never be closed, and if a caller of the save or load functions passed
      in a filename held in the global Messages lookup buffer then subsequent
      lookups in the callees would corrupt that filename. All sorted out now.
      
      Local (not very useful) or global (useful) histories can be saved as HTML,
      which opens up the possibility of sending your history to the hotlist
      by saving to it. Local and global histories can also be emptied, though
      this is probably not a feature that current release Desktop browsers need.
      Inheritance of local history and certain UI features is now done more or
      less for all cases where one browser window spawns another, too.
      
      Vertical alignment on images is rather less ropey than it was (e.g.
      ALIGN=TOP stands half a chance of working) but is still far from perfect.
      This was part of fixing a nasty little bug in Redraw.c's setting of
      an image position via. image_set_token_image_position, which was making
      (amongst possibly many other things) client side image maps fail.
      Image update where images had large borders was affected by a similar
      problem too (more cans with more worms...).
      
      Fixed image background filler functions; two problems. When cross
      referenced images were replaced by base images in a browser because the
      original owner was closing down, the original owner browser would stay
      registered with ImageLib. Fixed; secondly, when images were deleted from
      the image array causing those above to be renumbered, images registered
      with ImageLib did not have their numbers updated (this was the one that
      lead to the visible drop out of background images with PNGs on the Acorn
      Internet home page when there were two views of the page and the first
      was closed). This is now also sorted out.

      Sorted out Res files, including fixing position of 'bytes' label in one of the Choices dialogues (I'd missed it out of a selection when everything else got moved down a bit). Unfaded Enc_Chinese menu entries, made sure text labels were wide enough for system font, changed 'Apply' on Choices dialogue to 'Set', and added ^K to hotlist keyboard shortcut lists.
      
      Print Setup (i.e. Print dialogue) buttons all set to 'local', so the
      stupid Toolbox doesn't close the dialogue and lose the caret before I
      can see if it was in there to start with...
      
      256 colour hotlist sprites taken back to standard 16 colour versions,
      since there's a significant speed penalty on slower machines. The
      testbed browser still has the 256 colour versions so the designs aren't
      completely lost.
      
      Changed access settings to exported builds to wr/r - lr/r was really getting
      on my nerves whenever I wanted to try something temporary out.
      
      View source, save source and print handlers would all try to work if
      there was no source to act on - despite the fact that toolbar buttons
      would be greyed out form them. This is fixed.
      
      The Navigate menu has components greyed to match the toolbar state,
      when opened. It isn't kept up to date dynamically, though this shouldn't
      really be a problem (reopen the submenu...). As part of this, finally
      sorted out conditions for the Stop button to be greyed, or the
      GoTo/Go/Stop tristate to be at 'Stop' versus 'GoTo'.
      
      Deferred reformatting is now disabled for external image fetches.
      
      Browser-local client pull flag removed; hitting the Stop button simply
      cancels any null handlers working for it. That way, client pull switches
      back on in passing at the next fetch (it was never really switched off).
      So to stop client pull, hit the stop button at any point.
      
      Done CELLPADDING attribute; cellpadding field in reformat_cell (Global.h)
      is redundant since the table token is accessible from there, and so it has
      been removed. CELLSPACING support also added.

      Now working on source merged with Kevin Bracey's internationalisation support. UNIFONT is undefined in the Make File for now. All Res and
      
      Choices files updated appropriately.
      
      Having sorted out the old Choices and Messages to form Choices, Controls
      and Messages, this build has had the same cleaning up done internally.
      This includes greater consistency in naming schemes and the removal of
      the inconsitent choices items - e.g. Choices file entries saying 'delay
      images' and 'plain backgrounds' where internally all the flags say 'show
      images' and 'show backgrounds'. ChoiceDefs.h and CtrlDefs.h added to
      clarify the meaning of some fields, though usage of these is not 100%
      in the source (there are cases where parameters are passed through to
      functions as ints, and those functions still check these against hard
      coded values rather than the #define stuff).
      
      Fetcher status return bits (connected, sent request, etc.) now reflected
      in status bar. Progress during fetchs to files are reported by %, where
      the size of the object is known. Exceeding 100% drops back to a byte
      counter, in case the estimated size was wrong. The progress counter
      may be updated after specific delays, rather than 'as often as possible',
      to reduce flicker (as requested by D.Brown some time ago).
      
      I've done a small rewrite of the fetch prioritisation scheme in FetchPage.c;
      how well this performs in general use across different processor speeds
      remains to be tested, but certainly it has some advantages. For each small
      fetch window before the rewrite, a 4cs tight loop was entered - this gave a
      noticable and substantial drain to the Desktop performance if more than one
      was opened. Now, several can be up at once with little hit. The actual file
      fetch is on half the priority it was before, with all others taken back
      just a bit - e.g. from 20cs per poll to 15cs per poll for flat out
      reformatting. You don't seem to lose much time on the format in practice,
      and the Desktop feels quite a bit lighter at the same time. There's the
      potential for smoother frameset loading in this scheme, too.
      
      When Shift+Clicking on a link meant you still fetched inside the main
      browser window, several fetches could occur in a frameset - one per frame.
      However, now that you can only do this by clicking on a link that leads to
      non-displayable data - or by turning off the small fetch windows by
      setting UseSmall to 'no' in Choices - a bug where fetchpage_preprocessed
      would stop such fetches as new ones were started was revealed.
      The API to frames_abort_fetching has now been extended to include a
      'stop file spooling too' flag, allowing a fix to be made by having
      fetchpage_preprocess's calls not set this (and it doesn't check the
      savelink flag is unset before proceeding, since frames_abort_fetching
      does that implicitly now).
      
      Had left the RAM transfer buffer at 16 bytes (from testing) accidentally...
      Oops. Upped it to 4K. In addition, when loading data by RAM transfer,
      the browser didn't notice if a RAMFetch bounced during the transfer. It
      would be treated as a 'first' RAMFetch bounce, basically, and try to go to
      file transfer - oops. Fixed.

      Very long log entry alert - but hey, beats 'Bug fixed' (sorry, Richard) ;-) · 532155bd
      Andrew Hodgkinson authored
      Open URL implementation more or less complete, though may undergo UI
      revision at a later date to allow named frames to be targetted. Hope to use
      the ideas in this code as the foundation for other general dialogues.
      
      In token stream dump for TRACE builds, table head items were not indented
      as far as they should have been - this is fixed; and manual toolbar redraw
      routines have been removed. They never worked, were commented out, and
      would never be used in that form anyway.
      
      DragBox source added, but it isn't at all complete and won't work - this is
      an 'in spare time' thing. We need custom drag boxes constrained to windows
      for the hotlist, and unconstrained for frame border resizing... Hey ho.
      
      Ancestor window extents match visible areas if there are frames (no more
      scrolling framesets...!). Frame resizing works whilst new documents fetch
      without pulling the extent down now. However, frame horizontal extents
      never shrink until a reload which is nasty, and this is all due for a
      rewrite. Frames border redrawing routine moved out of Redraw.c and into
      Frames.c. Bug regarding the mouse rectangle and frame border widths
      (rectangle was too large, so you could squash the edges) for edge-drag
      frame resizes fixed.
      
      Window width change reformat tolerance fixed; you could creep the window
      width down or up forever without any reformat, and centred objects would
      move but not be redrawn (thereby giving rise to subsequent redraw errors).
      
      Filetype on objects saved through Shift+Click correct. Save Source dialogue
      recognises if that source is plain text, rather than assuming HTML. A
      browser that fetches a file remembers the old store size it had before the
      save, so even though the data is now ditched, it reports the same amount of
      data fetched afterwards (looked awful when this could, for example,
      suddenly say '0' after a file save). Progress indicator is now fully aware
      of one or many file saves inside a frameset and reports the number of
      saves, a colon, and the cumulative saved data count, instead of reporting
      the sum total of fetched data in all frames, including non-file save stuff
      (note that for just 1 save, '1:' is not shown as a special case for the
      most common condition). A bug related to this, where you could in fact only
      do one fetch per frame*set*, has been corrected (only one fetch allowed per
      frame still, this is unlikely to ever change).
      
      Hotlist support added (D.Brown's source), with various bits of integration
      and modification still in progress there. Note additions to the Messages
      files. On the subject of Messages, the whole mucky business about what
      goes in Messages or Choices (and a few bugs where lookup_choice was used
      instead of lookup_token or vice versa) has been sorted out. Messages
      contains, more or less, just that. Choices contains user configurable
      stuff which generally can't mess things up too badly. A new file, Controls,
      is a Messages file holding the non-user configurable choices, which can
      generally make things go badly wrong if misused. A lot of these are tied
      to the Res file. StrongED users can get these to automatically fold out
      the various sections (EMail me for details). Sorry, but at the time of
      writing, Zap doesn't do folding... =8*P
      
      Two bugs with images. Asking for images to be shown in browser B when
      browser A uses the same ones and was loaded first didn't work correctly,
      and now does (a bit weird - browser A does the fetch and browser B does the
      display...). Second one occurred when the background image was also used on
      the page as a foreground image. This has been fixed by flagging background
      images in the image_info structure, and checking this before cross
      referencing. This bit also allowed the image_restart_fetches API to be
      extended, so that just background or foreground images may be fetched if
      they weren't already and the user asked the browser to show them. Before,
      the whole lot had to be fetched together (so turning on 'display
      backgrounds' will now kick off an image fetch if required, you don't
      need to reload the page anymore).
      
      Makefile copy options tweaked to be 'newer' (so if you're testing with some
      temporary Choices file or something, it won't write over it at the end of
      every export), and REMOTE_HOTLIST flag added for Customer builds - means
      the Hotlist.c functions aren't needed; the old, hotlist-by-file method is
      used. Added support for Customer build (see later), though there were very
      few additions needed in practice.
      
      Table printing fixed - in many ways it wasn't broken, it was image printing
      causing the oddities ever since the global image pool was introduced (this
      is, again, fixed). The 'reformat to fit page' option didn't work as coded
      any more; tables store cell addresses in the HStreams, so you can't then do
      a background reformat in a different browser. Hence, it now has to reformat
      to the page width, print, then put the page back again, all in the actual
      displayed browser. This doesn't feel as slow in use as it perhaps should,
      considering what is going on... Note that a line of a defined fraction (see
      Print.h) of page height will now split over page boundaries, so tall images
      or tall tables don't cause problems now (aside from the obvious problem of
      having the line split over a page at all!). There was a bug in the routine
      to print from a given start point until 'n' pages had been filled, in that
      it always filled 'n + 1' - now fixed. Finally, as part of the printing
      tweaks, a new dialogue exists - PrintStyle - with a similarly named source
      file added to deal with it.
      
      Global history auto save / load done, but only to the Choices file path -
      the whole browser is still strictly single user at present, with all the
      extra work for a multiuser Customer environment yet to be done. This has
      shown up a global history corruption problem which I haven't fixed yet.
      
      Rationalising TBEvents.h - things are migrating out of it, and into more
      appropriate sources (e.g. definitions relating to the Open URL dialogue are
      going into OpenURL.h, etc.). Event codes were at one stage deliberately
      diverged in numberspace from the component IDs of typical gadgets raising
      the events, to avoid anyone getting confused and thinking the IDs and event
      codes must match. However, this is in fact unlikely and it is much easier
      to remember the fewer numbers that result from tying the two together where
      possible. This has resulted in changes to event codes raised in the
      following objects of all Res files: Authorise, Find, OpenURL, and
      PrintStyle.
      
      And finally - !Run[D] files for all variants updated to require the latest
      toolbox and fetcher modules. All Res files updated for hotlists etc. and
      sprites files updated appropriately. All Messages, Choices and Controls
      files brought in sync., and an Customer build has been added (based on the
      Desktop build binary with different resources).
      
      That's all for now...

      Updated Makefile to work better in folding text editors. More or less rewrote · c46c55b2
      Andrew Hodgkinson authored
      Limits.h, and ensured consistent comment styling throughout all sources.
      Fetch.c/h split to Fetch, FetchHTML and URLveneer. URLstat.c/h produced to
      cope with this. OpenURL and Find sources created from bits in the Windows
      source file that shouldn't have been there... These will get filled out
      shortly. Note that a few functions in Fetch are due to be renamed and moved;
      probably to Tokenutils.

      Andrew Hodgkinson authored
      (adding up to a greater whole), which include removal of the dastardly
      'invalid image number' errors that trace builds would raise from time to
      time. Frame highlights are now better controlled (releaseably so).
      Generally, this build represents the first genuinely promising version
      of the browser for quite some time, despite the known library problems
      with comment handling etc.
