Several small improvements plus one bug fix

• Remembering Posn improved.
• Form is a bit taller now when Fire is started. Was too small.
• Ctrl+A now works in the "Search for" edit control and the hit list and in "Start looking here".
• Ctrl+C now works in the "Search for" edit control and in "Start looking here".
• "Select all" was removed from the "Edit" menu.
• Bug fix: in case Fire was installed in a non-default folder then none of the HTML files offered
  in the "Help" menu were found due to a missing folder separator.

Workaround for multi-monitor problem

If you have multiple monitors arranged in a way that some monitor(s) is/are above others then you might suffer from the Fire GUI becoming invisible when restarting Fire.

This is actually a Dyalog bug (<01511>) but this version of Fire comes with a workaround.

Posn and Size are only remembered for one session now

Saving Posn and Size in the Windows Registry and restoring them from there caused trouble on some multi-monitor systems.

Bug fix

This release is an important bug fix because under certain circumstances Fire might execute any niladic function in the workspace.

It also gets rid of the UCP flag. In versions of Dyalog that support the UCP flag (16.0 or better) it is now always 1.

New Main GUI

• Scanning the WS and scanning ⎕NL require different parameters and search strategies and have different results.
  Rather than trying to work around this somehow the two things are now separated on two different TABs, Workspace and ⎕NL. That should clarify things.

• Any check box settings etc. are saved only for the duration of a session. Therefore the settings remain the same when Fire is restarted during a session. Only when a new instance of Dyalog is created or ]Fire -fl (force load) is used are the defaults used.

• Bug fixes

  • When a search had no hits at all and F8 was pressed and then the Fire GUI closed, re-opening made it crash because the size was negative.

  • Deleting an object from the Fire GUI is now reporting acre activities, if any.

  • Link in the "About" dialog fixed.

  • Number of objects and number of hits was under special circumstances incorrect.

Acre 4.2 compatible plus some minor bug fixes

• Fire 6.5 is compatible with acre 4.2 and better only. If you use an older version of
  acre then you should only update after you've moved to acre 4.2.0 or better. This is due
  to the introduction of -flags in acre 4.2.0.
• Bug fixes:
  • In case <CursorDown> was pressed in "Search for" but no items were available to select from
    the contents of the "Search for" edit control was deleted anyway.
  • When "Search hit list" was ticked then later the field "Start looking here" remained empty under
    some certain circumstances.
  • When # was typed into an empty "Search hit list" a . was wrongly added automatically.
  • Under certain circumstances the "Find" button became active when it should not.

Workaround for performance problem

Occasionally under not yet fully understood circumstances Fire can become very slow. This is caused by Dyalog bug <01465> but 6.4.2 gets around this.
