			      GNU Interactive Tools
			      *********************

What's new:
-----------

- version 4.3.7

	- Few improvements, mostly fixes.  All the compilation/installation
	problems reported in 4.3.6 have been fixed (I hope :-).

	- RUMORS, RUMORS, RUMORS, .... it've heard that newer Linux systems
	use "linux" instead of "console" for the TERM environment variable.
	Due to this, I've linked .gitrc.linux to  .gitrc.console.  I'm  not
	sure if it will really be useful, but it won't hurt.

	- git can now display files using different  colors,  depending  on
	their types as specified by the [GIT-FTI] section (FTI  stands  for
	file type information). See .gitrc.common for more details.  If you
	don't  want/like  colors, they  can  be  disabled  by  setting  the
	TypeSensitivity variable to OFF.  Note that  I've  considered  more
	important to emphasize the file type and *NOT* the fact  that it is
	compressed.  That means that foo.c and foo.c.gz will  be  displayed
	using the same color.  Of course, this approach can be changed by
	modifying the configuration file...

	- GIT_PAGER is a new environment variable that replaces  "more"  in
	all the user defined commands described in the configuration files.
	If  your   system  has  "less", just  add  GIT_PAGER=less  to  your
	environment.  By default GIT_PAGER='more'.  gitaction &  .gitaction
	use GIT_PAGER too.

	- conform-current-directory & conform-other-directory now save  the
	new directory into the directory history.

	- Faster startup.

	- ^C= now performs recursive diff.

	- flip is the default action for *.fli and *.flc. See gitaction for
	details.

	- tty.c uses now /dev/vcsa to dump/restore the screen.  The ioctl()
	system call is no longer used.  You should have the  right  to  r/w
	the corresponding /dev/vcsaX since I don't like setuids, and I also
	think  that  the appropriate permission/owner should be  set by the
	login utility in the same way as for /dev/ttyX.  Until then, if you
	are on a single-user machine or you don't care much about security,
	you can give unrestricted r/w permission on /dev/vcsaX.


- version 4.3.6
  -------------

	- Added scroll step. A new built-in function (set-scroll-step) lets
	you modify the panel scroll step.  It is also possible to set it in
	the configuration file using the  StartupScrollStep  variable.  The
	built-in function set-scroll-step is binded on ^XP.

	- Added incremental search. The built-in functions isearch-backward
	and isearch-forward are mapped on  ^S and ^R (as in emacs).  If the
	hardware doesn't let you change the default meaning of ^S, you  can
	use  the alternate key sequences ^Xs and ^Xr.  Wrapped  isearch  is
	also provided.

	- select-file has been moved  on  ^T  since  ^R  is  now  used  for
	isearch-backward.  You can also use Ctrl-\ (^\) for select-file (if
	available). Sorry, I promise that this is the last time I am moving
	this one :-). Anyway, if you are using Linux, you can  continue  to
	press the 'Insert' key.

	- Verdoolaege Sven has contributed an  enhanced  gitaction  script.
	Default actions are now available for  many  new  file  extensions:
	zip, arj, rar, mod, s3m, voc, wav, lsm, jpeg, mpg, ps, dvi and tex.
	I also added support for compressed and uncompressed manual pages.

	- A bug in getting the size of symbolic links has been fixed.  Only
	symbolic links with no target have been affected.

	- It is now possible to have a command with no  body,  still  being
	able to chdir to the directory specified in the configuration line.
	You can switch between directories much faster.  A command name  is
	still required.

		- M-/ (ESC-/, Alt-/ under Linux) goes to /
		- M-. (ESC-., Alt-. under Linux) goes to ..
		- M-h (ESC-h, Alt-h under Linux) goes to $HOME
		- M-i (ESC-i, Alt-i under Linux) goes to /usr/include

	- Han Holl made gitrgrep work on SCO 3.2 V 4.2.  He  also  reported
	some other problems under SCO.  See the PROBLEMS file.

	- Alexander Jolk  <p6mqt001@cicrp.jussieu.fr>  requested  that  the
	Makefiles makes no provisions in order not to display the commands.
	Done.

	- Preformatted manual pages are no longer part of the distribution.
	In fact, manual pages have not been updated in  this  version.  The
	GNU projects seems to consider  them  obsolete, and  I  think  that
	updating only the info file will be enough.  Each release will have
	a decent set of	manual pages, but only to figure out what it is all
	about, not as a reliable source of information about GIT.

	- A directory history is provided, making it easy to switch between
	directories   within  a  given  set.  If  you  change  the  current
	directory with ^Xd or you specify a new-dir field to a command, the
	directory is added to the directory history.  You can switch to the
	previous directory with ^X^P, to the next directory with  ^X^N  and
	you can  reset  the  entire  directory  history  with  ^X^R.  After
	reseting   the   directory   history,  the   current  directory  is
	automatically added to it.

	- A new variable (ConfirmOnExit) has been added to the  [GIT-Setup]
	section, allowing you to specify  if  you  want  to  be  asked  for
	confirmation  at  exit.  The  default  is  not  to   be  asked  for
	confirmation.

	- Added tilde expansion on 'copy' and  on  'move'.  It should  have
	been there from the very beginning.

	- make-directory no longer expect a base-name.  The  directory  name
	is tilde_expand()-ed and then created, if possible.

	- The FIND function no longer asks  for  the  start  directory.  It
	simply ask the file name and starts searching it from  the  current
	directory.

	- It is now possible to select directories and delete / copy / move
	them using the same builtin functions used in the previous versions
	for file only operations.  Since  it  is  inherently  dangerous  to
	delete directories, if  the  directory  to be deleted is not empty,
	the user is prompted twice, in order to reduce the  possibility  of
	an error.  Briefly, you can use the same key binding for both  file
	and directories common operations (i.e. pressing F8  or  ^C D  will
	delete the current file (or directory) if  there  are  no  selected
	files / directories, or all  the  selected  files  and  directories
	otherwise).  You should  pay  attention  because  directories   are
	deleted recursively.  ---- Also note that the  select-all  built-in
	function doesn't select directories.  You should  select  them  "by
	hand".  Just for safety...

	- Most file commands have been changed  in  order  to  act  on  the
	selected files.  As an example, if you select some files in a panel
	and then start the COMPRESS  command, git  will  compress  all  the
	selected files, not only the  current  one.  If  the  command  used
	(gzip in our case) exits successfully, all the selected  files  will
	become  unselected.  However, if  an  error  occur, git  will *not*
	unselect the selected files since there  is  no  way  to  tell  (in
	general) which files have been successfully processed.

	- An utility for wiping files is provided.  Its name is (of course)
	gitwipe and is binded on ^C W. gitwipe overwrites the file contents
	with a random sequence of numbers and then calls sync().  Note that
	gitwipe does *not* delete the file since (under Linux at least) the
	sync() system call might return before  actually  writing  the  new
	file contents  to  disk.  Deleting  the  file  might  be  dangerous
	because some  file systems  can detect  that the blocks in the file
	are no longer used and never write them back to disk  in  order  to
	improve  performance.  It is up to you to delete the file(s)  at  a
	later moment.

	- A new scheme is used for the configuration files.  Since most of
	the key bindings are common to all the terminal types and  only  a
	few are really terminal specific, a new configuration file  called
	.gitrc.common is used to keep the 'common' ones.  This new  confi-
	guration file contains only the [GITxxx-Keys]  sections.  Terminal
	specific key bindings can be defined as usual in  the  .gitrc.TERM
	files and, if a conflict  occurs, the  .gitrc.TERM  definition  is
	used, giving the user the possibility to  overwrite a 'common' key
	binding if it wishes to do so.

	- The configuration files commands have been enhanced with  a  new
	format specifier:

		'%?{confirmation}'

	  This  format  specifier  only  asks  for   confirmation   before
	expanding / executing  the  current  command.  The  'confirmation'
	string is displayed and if the user doesn't  confirm, the  command
	is aborted.  Otherwise, %?{...} expands to a null string  and  the
	command is expanded / executed normally.
	
	- A separate history is kept for each command.  This is  true  for
	both built-in  and  user-defined  commands.  For  example, if  you
	search a file  using the user-defined FIND command and, later, you
	call the FIND function again, you can walk through the file  names
	history  using  the  arrow  keys  or  ESC p / ESC n  (M-p / M-n in
	emacs).

	- Three built-in functions have been added:

		enlarge-panel		- binded on ^X1 (C-X 1)
		enlarge-other-panel	- binded on ^X0 (C-X 0)
		two-panels		- binded on ^X2 (C-X 2)

	enlarge-panel will maximize the current panel, enlarge-other-panel
	the other one.  One of the panels will become invisible.  However,
	*all* the operations can still be performed.  The invisible  panel
	will remain the default destination for copy/move operations.  TAB
	will also continue to work.
	two-panels will restore the original two panels mode.

	- A new display mode, suitable for enlarged  panels, is  provided.
	This new mode combines all the other modes, displaying the  owner,
	group, date, time, size and mode of a file.  It  is  automatically
	selected by  enlarge-panel  and  enlarge-other-panel  but  can  be
	changed afterward, by pressing ^] (C-]).

	- A 'lock' built-in function has been added.  It is binded on ^X p
	(C-x p) and locks the terminal until the password  typed  at  lock
	time is correctly retyped. 

	- The git panels are no longer deleted/restored when a  background
	command is started.

	- A .gitrc.sun configuration file has been added.  It  is  a  link
	to .gitrc.generic.

	- New Linux kernels seem to use the /dev/vcs devices to  dump  the
	screen contents.  I dont' have access to such a kernel right know,
	but I will fix this in the next release.  See  the  file  PROBLEMS
	for details.

	- The texinfo documentation has been  rewritten  from scratch.  It
	is better organized and has many new additions.  It  also contains
	an exhaustive description of all the  default key bindings.  There
	are still many things that can be done, though.

	- A dvi Makefile target has been aded. Type 'make dvi' if you want
	to create the  git.dvi  file from  git.texinfo.  After  that,  you
	should be able to get a PostScript documentation using dvips.

	- A last minute Minix 1.6.25.1 port.  Works  fine, has  colors.  A
	.gitrc.minix has been added to the distribution.


- version 4.3.5
  -------------

	- Owner and group names are now being cached using  hash tables  in
	order to increase the directory reading speed.

	- GIT is now able to display the file system  free  space  on  many
	systems. GIT 4.3.4 was only able to do this under Linux, using  the
	statfs() system call. GIT 4.3.5 uses  a  modified  version  of  the
	fsusage.c file from the GNU fileutils 3.2 package.

	- ^H (8), ^I (9), ^J (10), ^M (13), ^SPC (0)  and   BACKSPACE (127)
	can be configured in the configuration files.

	- the interrupt & quit characters are both  ^G  now. You  can  exit
	from GIT with ^X^C (this is the default binding but you can  change
	it, of course :-) ).

	- The entire set of default key bindings has been changed.  I  have
	tried to make them be more emacs-like (where possible). Since it is
	impossible to use 'z' to compress a file or 'Z' to uncompress it as
	emacs does in the 'dired' mode  because 'a', 'A', ... 'z', 'Z', etc
	are used to enter commands in the input line, I have decided to use
	the ^C prefix key for  file  operations.  Background  commands  are
	prefixed with ^Cb. You should read the configuration files for more
	details.

	- GIT now has an  editable  input  line.  Most  emacs-like  editing
	functions suitable for editing one line of input are now available:

		Function:		    GIT style:	    Emacs style:

		backward-char			^B		C-b
		forward-char			^F		C-f
		backward-word			^[b		M-b
		forward-word			^[f		M-f
		beginning-of-line		^A		C-a
		end-of-line			^E		C-e
		delete-char			^D		C-d
		backward-delete-char		^_		DEL
		backward-kill-word		^[^_		M-DEL
		kill-line			^[k		C-k
		kill-to-beginning-of-line	^U
		kill-to-end-of-line		^K
		just-one-space			^[^@		M-SPC
		delete-horizontal-space		^[\		M-\
		action				^M		RET
		set-mark			^$		C-SPC
		kill-region			^W		C-w
		kill-ring-save			^[w		M-w
		yank				^Y		C-Y
		exchange-point-and-mark		^X^X		C-x C-x

	Since the entire input line code has been  changed / improved,  the
	2048 bytes length limit no longer exist. The input line can hold as
	many characters as you want.

	- All the built-in command names have  been  changed  in  order  to
	match the emacs style  function  names:  <ChangePanel>  has  become
	change-panel. By convention, built-in commands  are  now  lowercase
	while user defined commands are uppercase.

	- When copying files that are longer than 32 Kb, the copied percent
	is displayed on the status bar.

	- The copy_files built-in command can be interrupted in the  middle
	of a file copy action. If  the  operation  is  interrupted  in  the
	middle, the incomplete file is deleted.

	- The configuration files are using now shell environment variables
	to call the shell, editor, mail reader, compress and virtual memory
	status utility. That means that if you set  GIT_SHELL,  GIT_EDITOR,
	GIT_RMAIL, GIT_COMPRESS or GIT_VMSTAT to  some  value,  that  value
	will be used instead of the default one. The defaults are:

		GIT_SHELL='/bin/sh'
		GIT_EDITOR='vi'
		GIT_RMAIL='emacs -f rmail'
		GIT_COMPRESS='gzip -9'
		GIT_VMSTAT='free'

	  If GIT_SHELL is not defined but SHELL is, GIT_SHELL will  be  set
	to that value.
	  If GIT_EDITOR is not defined but EDITOR is,  GIT_EDITOR  will  be
	set to that value.

	- history expansion has been added. GIT now takes advantage  of  the
	full power of the history library.  Each  command  entered  at  the
	prompt is expanded and added to the history.  !!, !?, !-n, ...  are
	now available. See  the  history  library  documentation  for  more
	details.

	- The package can be compiled in a different directory, keeping the
	source tree unmodified.  You  should  be  able  to  make  an  empty
	directory, chdir to it and start git-4.3.5/configure, then make.

	- The distribution has been split into three  directories: src, man
	and info.

	- GIT has been tested on IRIX 4.0.5F. It works. It  also  works  on
	SunOS 4.1.3, Solaris 2.3  and  Irix 5.2  according  to  Eric  Jaron
	Stieglitz <ephraim@ctr.columbia.edu>.

	- make install creates a symbolic link from  $(libdir)/.gitrc.xterm
	to  $(libdir)/.gitrc.xterms  in  order to avoid problems on systems
	that have the TERM environment variable defined as  xterms  instead
	of xterm.

	- A script doing recursive grep (gitrgrep) has been  added  to  the
	distribution. It might be useful.


- version 4.3.4
  -------------

	- Richard Stallman saw it and agreed to be part of the GNU project.

	- the package is no  longer  called 'UNIX Interactive Tools'.  I've
	changed its name to 'GNU Interactive Tools'.

	- GIT is now able to correctly restore the terminal foreground  and
	background under X. The previous version had a  problem  with  this
	because there is no way to find out the terminal colors at startup.
	The [Setup] section of the configuration file specifies the  colors
	that GIT should set at exit.

	- if gcc is detected at configure time, -Wall is added to CFLAGS.

	- a bug in Makefile.in has been fixed.

	- two gitps bugs have been fixed.

	- better ^Z (suspend) management. GIT doesn't wait any longer for a
	key to be pressed after the 'fg' command is entered  at  the  shell
	prompt.

	- the hpterm terminal emulator support works better. It is far from
	being perfect, but it works better than the previous versions.

	- added support for System V and BSD terminal interfaces.

	- added support for AIX aixterm terminal emulator.

	- if a .gitrc.TERM file cannot be found for a specific terminal, a
	generic configuration file (.gitrc.generic) is used.

	- tested on a Bull computer running AIX.

	- tested on some BSD 4.3 systems at FSF.

	- tested on a Sun running SunOS 4.0.3 at FSF.

	- a better Sun port thanks to Johann Friedrich Heinrichmeyer.

	- a better Alpha port thanks to Dan Pop.

	- added some emacs-like key bindings. There will be more in
	the next version.

	- code cleanup.


- version 4.3.3
  -------------

	- added support for moving files on MS-DOS file systems.

	- added  support  for  terminals  that  can't  write  on  the  last
	character of the screen without scrolling the entire screen.

	- Alt-k starts diff with the two panels current files as arguments.

	- some cosmetical changes.

	- bug fixes.


- version 4.3.2
  -------------

	- a lot of work has been done to make the UIT package compile  with
	traditional K&R compilers. I've successfully compiled it with such a
	compiler on our HP-UX 9000/715.

	- the installation procedure has been  simplified:  UIT 4.3.2  uses
	the 'configure' script! The 'configure' script was  generated  from
	the file configure.in (available in the package) using the autoconf
	utility version 1.11. To install the UIT 4.3.2 package just type:
		./configure
		make
		make install
	The configure script first check for the termcap  library.  If  the
	termcap library is  not  found, some  terminfo  libraries  will  be
	searched: ncurses, curses, termlib, tinfo, terminfo. If you want to
	change this default behavior and  search  for  terminfo  libraries
	before searching the termcap library, run
		./configure --enable-terminfo
	instead of
		./configure

	- UIT now understands some symbolic key names in the  configuration
	files:  F0, F1, F2, ... F10, UP, DOWN, RIGHT, LEFT, INS, DEL, HOME,
	END, PGUP, PGDOWN. You can still specify  a  key sequence, but, for
	the function & cursor keys, it's a better idea to get them from the
	termcap/terminfo database  if  they  can be  found  there. So,  the
	command for the F1 key on the Linux console (the configuration file
	is .uitrc.console) can be:
		F1  = UIT-HELP; man uit
	or
		^[A = UIT-HELP; man uit
	If some key doesn't have a termcap/terminfo description  (like  the
	F11/F12 keys on the Linux console) you can specify the key sequence
	in the usual way.

	- the UIT package will use the GNU readline library  if  available.
	If this library is not installed on your system, uit will  use  the
	sources for the history and tilde expansion included in the package.
	For Linux systems,  the  DLL  readline  library  version  2.0.1  is
	available at sunsite.unc.edu in the directory /pub/Linux/libs.  The
	package name is librl-2.0.1.tar.gz. This package  also  includes  a
	readline linked ftp, bash-1.14.1 and gdb-4.12  binaries.  The  bash
	binary is about 60k smaller that the SLACKWARE 2.0.0  version  and,
	hold your breath..., the gdb binary is about  500k smaller too. So,
	if you really want things to work better, install this DLL readline
	library.
	UIT will work just fine without it,  but  using  a  shared  library
	generally means shorter binaries ...

	- changes in the configuration files:
		- ^De starts the editor sending the selected files as para-
		meters. So, if you want to edit  multiple  files  at  once,
		select them, then press ^De . The default  editor  is  joe,
		but you  can  use  any  other  editor  if  you  change  the
		corresponding line in the configuration file.
		- ^Dd starts the 'more' viewer sending the  selected  files
		as parameters. See above.
		- ^Du displays on the status bar the result of the  'du -s'
		command
		- ^Df displays on the status bar the  result  of  the  'df'
		command, one line at a time
		- ^Dm displays on the status bar the result of the  'mount'
		command, one line at a time
		- ^Dv displays on the status bar the result of  the  'free'
		command, one line at a time
		- ^Dw displays on the status bar the result of the 'whereis'
		command, one line at a time
		- ^DW displays on the status bar the result of the  'which'
		command, one line at a time
		- ^Dh displays on the status bar the result of the  'users'
		command, one line at a time

	- the file and path names copied to the command line are now quoted
	because files residing on ISO9660  CDs  may  contain  ';'  and  the
	shell will fail to expand the resulting string.

	- three new default actions have been added to the uitaction script
	for *.texi, *.texinfo and *.man. See the uitaction script for  more
	details.

	- 3 bugs have been fixed.


- version 4.3.1
  -------------

	- UIT now uses the GNU history library. The default history file is
	~/.uithistory.

	- the number of files in a panel is no longer limited to 1024.   If
	you have enough memory, UIT can now display all the  files  in  the
	directory, even if the directory is a very big one. UIT dynamically
	allocates memory for the directory data so  UIT 4.3.1  needs  about
	120k-140k of memory less than UIT 4.3 (for usual directories).

	- UIT can move files between file systems  by  copying  the  source
	file to the destination file and then removing the source file.

	- the source files termcap.l and termcap.h have been  removed.  UIT
	4.3.1 now use the standard termcap library. If  you want to  use  a
	local termcap database (like .termcap), you can  do  it  by setting
	the TERMCAP environment variable to point to it:

		TERMCAP = /home/joe/.termcap

	UIT 4.3.1 needs only the 'cm' and the 'cl' terminal capability.  If
	available, 'me', 'md', 'mr', 'vi' and 've' are also used.

	Using the standard termcap database has some advantages:
		- UIT 4.3.1 now does padding (if padding is required)
		- UIT 4.3.1 can  handle any kind of  parameterized terminal
		  capabilities.
		- uit, uitps, uitview are smaller
		- no more problems with different versions of lex/flex ...

	- UIT has now terminfo support. You can choose between termcap  and
	terminfo at compile time.

	- the selected files are marked with a '*' in the right side.  This
	can be useful if your terminal doesn't know about brightness  (the
	me & md terminal capabilities).

	- the current file of the current panel is marked with a '>' in the
	left side.

	- the current file of the other panel is marked with a '*'  in  the
	left side. You can see this way which is the current  file  of  the
	other panel.

	- uit is able to run a command sending to it the selected file names
	as parameters. This is  done  using the new  %i  and  %I  parameters
	available in the formatted  string. Suppose  the  current  directory
	test_dir contains the files foo, bar, tutu and gogu, and  foo & tutu
	are selected, the following command

		^Wyt = TAR; tar cf %b.tar %i;;;;y

	will be expanded as

		tar cf test_dir.bar foo tutu

	Thus, you can make your favorite commands act only on the  selected
	files.

	- a new builtin command (<CopySelectedFilesToCmdLn>) is  available.
	This command lets  you  to insert all the selected files names into
	the command line. I've mapped it on ^Kg. If  there  is  no selected
	file, only the current file name is copied.

	- changes in the configuration files:
		- the archive (.tar.gz) created with ^Wz get its name  from
		  the directory under the cursor.
		  So, in the configuration files,
		  ^Wz = tar cf - * | gzip -9cf > %b.tar.gz    is now
		  ^Wz = tar cf - %d | gzip -9c > %d.tar.gz
		- elm can be started with ^Ke
		- the shell can be started with ^Kj
		- as explained before, I've added ^Kg & ^Wyt

	- a new utility (uitkeys) is provided to help users to set  up  the
	configuration files .uitrc.TERM.

	- if uit/uitps/uitview  doesn't  find  a  local  configuration  file
	.uitrc.TERM, it	tries to use the global version  (usually  found  in
	the /usr/local/lib directory). This way, users are able to run  uit/
	uitps/uitview without  having  to  copy the configuration file(s) in
	their home directory.

	- uit now understands '~' in the 'newdir' field, in the  <ChangeDir>
	builtin command, etc ...

	- the procedure of setting up colors  has  been  simplified. If  you
	want to try to run UIT with colors, just set  AnsiColorSequences  to
	ON in the configuration files. 

	- MS-DOS files are copied without the __x bits.

	- UIT can now display  the  host-name,  system type, machine type and
	the current date  on  the  status  bar  using  the  following escape
	sequences:
		\h	->	the host name
		\s	->	the system type
		\m	->	the machine type
		\t	->	the date
	Please read the configuration files for more details.

	- for the sake of readability, in the configuration files '1' and '0'
	have been replaced by 'y' and 'n'.

	- the size of the command line has been increased to 2k.

	- alloca.c is now included in the distribution. You  should  be  able
	to compile the UIT 4.3.1 package even if the target system  does  not
	support  the  alloca()  function. For  such  systems, define  in  the
	Makefile ALLOCAOBJ = alloca.o .

	- a better Makefile:
		- you can uninstall the UIT package using 'make uninstall'
		- you can build a distribution file using 'make dist'

	- a *MUCH* *MUCH* *MUCH* better code.

	- n bugs have been fixed :-( .


- version 4.3
  -----------

	- a new script that executes a different action for each  file type
	specified. If you press F2 or ^Kz on a "*.c" file, UIT will compile
	it, if you press F2 or ^Kz on a "*.tar.gz" file, UIT will list  the
	tar archive contents, if you press the same keys on a  "*.gz"  file
	UIT will display its uncompressed contents on the screen, etc ...
	By default uitaction checks for the following patterns:

	"*.cc" "*.c" "*.l" "*.y" "*.h" "*.s" "*.S" "*.o" "*.a" "*.sa"
	"Makefile" "makefile"
	"*.tar.gz" "*.tgz" "*.tar.z" "*.tar.Z" "*.taz" "*.tar" "*.gz"
	"*.z" "*.Z"
	"*.doc" "*.txt"
	"*.gif" "*.jpg" "*.tif" "*.bmp"

	and acts as appropriate. If  no  pattern  is  found,  the  file  is
	displayed using more. Feel free to change this.

	If you press F2 or ^Kz on a "*.gif" file or a "*.jpg" file and  you
	have the zgv utility installed, you will be able to see it. If  you
	want to change the gif/jpeg viewer, all you need to do is to change
	its name in the uitaction script. I don't know a "*.bmp" or "*.tif"
	viewer. Feel free to add one in the uitaction script.

	The script can be easy enhanced. Just read it.

	You  can  have  a  local  version  of  this script  (in the current
	directory). Please read the manual page for more details.

	- UIT 4.3 was tested on DEC OSF/1 operating system.

	- enhanced configuration files:
		- uitaction (F2 or ^Kz)
		- grep (^Vr)
		- ispell (^Vi)
		- ' | more' added to finger, w, ...
		- reset (terminal reset) (^WR)
		- mv (you can now change a file name even if the two panels
		  don't show the same directory) (^Vr)
		- chmod for a group of files (^Wlm)
		- chown for a group of files (^Wlo)
		- chgrp for a group of files (^Wlg)
		- conform  the   current  directory   to  the  other  panel
		  directory (Alt-c c, ESC c c, ^[cc) - <ConformCurrentDir>
		- conform  the other panel directory  to  the current panel
		  directory (Alt-c o, ESC c o, ^[co) - <ConformOtherDir>
		- tar + gzip in one shot (^Wz).  Something  like   that   is
		  executed: tar cf - * | gzip -9cf > %b.tar.gz
		- the background version of the previous command (^Wbz)
		- gunzip + un-tar in one shot (^Wv). Something  like that is
		  executed: gzip -dc %f | tar xf -
		- the background version of the previous command (^Wbv)
		- copy the other panel path to the command line (^Ka)

	- enhanced manual pages.

	- a better Makefile

	- 3 bugs have been fixed.

	- better error checking on directories.

	- ^H support (treated as backspace).

	- the ASCII documentation was removed. I think that every modern
	UNIX system should have the man utility.


- version 4.2c
  ------------

	- UIT 4.2c was tested on HP-UX operating system.

	- UIT 4.2c implements a curses-like  algorithm  to  prevent  useless
	screen refreshes. *NOTHING* will be displayed on the screen if it is
	already there. This will speed up UIT when working on terminals.  To
	force a screen refresh you can use ^Wr ( <HardRefresh> ).

	- UIT 4.2c is able to select/unselect files using a pattern matching
	method. You can now select something like *.c, *.h or unselect *.o .
	This is done with ^Vs (select) / ^Vu (unselect).

	- the configuration files .uitrc.TERM  where enhanced. You  can  now
	start tar xf, tar cf, gzip, gunzip, uuencode, uudecode as foreground
	or background commands. This is done  with  ^Wx / ^Wbx,  ^Wt / ^Wbt,
	^Wc / ^Wbc, ^Wu / ^Wbu, etc. There is also possible to directly send
	by mail a file to someone as an ASCII file (^Va) or as an  uuencoded
	binary file (^Vb).

	- bug fix: UIT 4.2c now correctly stops when it  is  started  as  a
	background job.

	- files can be  sorted  in  9  different  ways. The  most  important
	sorting   methods   are  "by name",  "by extension",  "by size"  and
	"by date".

	- a new script uitmount which allows you to mount any  block  device
	without	specifying the fs type. You may now insert the floppy in the
	drive and type  'uitmount fd0'  and the first floppy will be mounted
	in the directory /mnt/fd0. On Linux just press F11 or F12.
	You don't need to know the fs type anymore. The directories /mnt/fd0
	and /mnt/fd1 must exist. If you want to use uitmount with the  block
	device /dev/xxx then the directory /mnt/xxx must exist.

	- you can now install uit with 'make install'

	- a new feature was added to the  command line: pressing  Alt-h  you
	can delete the last command line word. The built-in command name  is
	<DeleteCmdLnWord>. I now that the command line is not very  flexible
	and I'll probably change it in the future.

	- <ChangeDir> can now use ~ as home directory specification.

	- <ChangeDir> can now be canceled with TAB.

	- UIT 4.2c is now able now to display up to 99G of free  file system
	space. Big enough, I suppose :-) .


- version 4.2b
  ------------

	- UIT 4.2b now contains info format documentation.

	- UIT 4.2b  has  separate  configuration  files  for  each  type  of
	terminal.

	- an ASCII version of the manual page  (uit.doc)  included for those
	who can't read neither the nroff version nor the info version.

	- new built-in function for changing the current panel directory.

	- uit, uitps and uitview are a little bit smaller  than the previous
	versions (uitcmp was small enough :-) ).

	- UIT 4.2b package now correctly runs under X (in an  xterm window).
	Previous versions didn't due to a bug in handling the  ioctl()  call
	to get the screen contents.

	- UIT 4.2b now supports  full  configurable  key  sequences. The key
	pressed is identified faster.

	- 5 minor bugs have been fixed. See ChangeLog for details.


- version 4.2a and older versions
  -------------------------------

	- UIT 4.2a was tested with Linux 1.0 and ULTRIX V4.2A.

	- with Linux 1.0  you  can't  do  a screen dump if you are not super
	user so the  <ShowTty> command is no longer completely supported for
	the normal users. Even if you are not super user, <ShowTty> is still
	useful because you can see the result of the last executed command.

	- with  Linux 1.0  MS-DOS  files  are  all  executable  (__x__x__x). 
	UIT now checks the file system type and ignore the  executable  bits
	if the current directory belongs to a MS-DOS file system.

	- UIT 4.2a can now  display  longer file names  (with the 'FullName'
	FileDisplayMode value).

	- UIT 4.2a can now display setuid, set group id attributes and  the
	sticky bit.

	- lots of optimizations have been made to speed up UIT when working
	with terminals.

	- filenames containing control characters are correctly displayed.
	  (control characters are displayed as '?')

	- new options in the configuration file permitting to increase the
	  displaying speed on very slow terminals.

	- an interactive process viewer / killer utility is provided.

	- an interactive HEX/ASCII file viewer is now available.

Note:	
-----
	1. Starting with version 4.0, this program is no longer named PSH.
	PSH was the name used until version 3.2b.

	2. Please read the INSTALL file before starting UIT 4.3.
