new MARK feature | user-specified 'notepad'

[egc]

As per a recent thread on this forum, the MARK default of dumping ASCII output to the Windows Notepad had its limitations (owing primarily to the fact that Notepad is pretty useless for most things...).

Gary has just posted a new version of MARK which fixes this problem - it allows you to 'tell MARK' to use some other program to display output, other than the Notepad - for example, a dedicated editor. You can set this new 'default' attribute in the MARK preferences menu (File -> Preferences). When you select this option, you'll be prompted to browse for the executable for your favorite editor (generally the file your shortcuts point at).

This new feature has been fairly well-tested, but there may be a few places in MARK which haven't been updated to recognize this new feature - and which will still dump things to the Notepad. Please inform if you find an example of such.

You can grab the new MARK build, either from Gary's server, or here on the local mirror:
