WHAT'S NEW IN CADET VERSION 2.0

          ASP MEMBERSHIP
             The author of CADET, Steve Waskow, is now a member of the
             Association of Shareware Professionals (ASP).  The ASP
             maintains a high set of standards for its members, so in
             choosing shareware by ASP members you can expect quality
             and professionalism.

          TEXT FILE IMPORT AND EXPORT
             A new program, CI.LSP, has been added to the CADET system.
             CI can import ASCII text files from disk into your AutoCAD
             drawings.  You can specify text height, justification and
             line spacing, and create multiple columns.

             A new command, [Ctrl-X], has been added to the CADET editor
             to export the text to a disk file.  Use CE to pull text
             from your drawing into the CADET editor, sort it by rows or
             by columns, then use [Ctrl-X] to write the file.

          TYPEMATIC RATE ACCELERATOR
             CADET now has a built in typematic rate accelerator for IBM
             AT and PS/2 class computers - including most 286, 386 and
             486 compatibles.  The new CHKSPEED utility will test your
             system compatibility.  The accelerator primarily serves to
             speed up the cursor movements.  Use the new [Ctrl-T] type
             rate command to toggle between the three available speeds.
             You can install CADET to start-up in your favorite speed.
             Installation options allow you to disable the accelerator
             if you are already using a resident acceleration utility.

          CHARACTER CODES
             The keys used to insert AutoCAD's special characters for
             overscore, underscore, plus or minus, circle diameter and
             degrees symbols have been changed to a more mnemonic set:
             Alt-O, Alt-U, Alt-P, Alt-C, and Alt-D respectively. The
             keys used in previous CADET versions are still supported.

          MEMORY MANAGEMENT
             CADET's AutoLISP interface routines CE.LSP and CC.LSP, and
             the new CI.LSP utility now share a memory management scheme
             which minimizes their overhead in the AutoLISP environment.
             This boosts their performance when using two or more of
             them during a drawing session.  If desired, you can disable
             the CADET memory management scheme during installation or
             by setting a configuration variable.

          SORTING ORDER and SORTING COORDINATES
             You can now install CADET to default to row sort order at
             start-up, rather than column sort order.

             CADET now uses the "insert" point of center, middle and
             right justified text for row and column sorting.  In
             general, this gives you a better picture of the text's
             organization when you are using the CADET editor.  The
             previous version of CADET used the lower left text corner
             for sorting.  If desired, you can still have CADET sort by
             the lower left text corner with an installation option or
             by setting a configuration variable.

          IMPROVED ATTRIBUTE EDITING
             The CADET editor's status line now displays the attribute
             prompts along with the block name and attribute tag.
             CE.LSP now handles edited block attributes by updating the
             block just once - not once per changed attribute.

          TEXT FONT STYLE
             Changing text style has been simplified by having the
             styles presented in alphabetical order.  You can now use
             the [Up] and [Down] cursor keys to move through the list.
             The spacebar functions the same as the [Down] key.

          BLOCK OPERATIONS
             A new option, Swap, has been added to the [Ctrl-M] mark
             block function.  Swap exchanges the marked block with the
             contents of the copy buffer, simplifying many cut-and-paste
             operations.

          MISCELLANEOUS
             The CADET installation program, CADETIN, now checks to see
             if your ACAD.LSP file is encrypted prior to installing the
             CADET options.

             The [Ctrl-W] delete word function is better behaved about
             leaving a space between the words preceding and following
             the deleted word.

             A bug which sometimes did not highlight a marked block
             which extended to the 255th column has been corrected.

             The monochrome color set has been changed to a more
             pleasing combination.

             A documentation formatting utility, 60LINE, has been
             included to produce a 60 lines per page version of the
             User's Manual, CADET.DOC.  Many laser and inkjet printers
             require a 60 lines per page format.

             PRINTDOC, the new batch program, prints all the CADET
             documentation for you.
