6.01
· Fixed minor bug with wrapping action after SET VAR.
· Fixed minor bug causing erroneous dash comment message.
6.00
· More new keywords from 6.0 DOS release.
· In version 5.11 an enhancement was made to preserve file dates when processing with R:Style. This caused a problem with RMAKE because it could not know to re-codelock an APP in this scenario. Because of this, R:Style looks to see if there is a matching APX, and if so it will allow the filedate to be changed on the APP.
· Added test for WHERE WHERE which in many versions of R:BASE does not throw an error but is hard to find with the eye and does not evaluate as expected.
5.68
· Added all new R:BASE keywords through 11-10-1996.

· Further enhancements to illegal dotted variable checking.
5.60
· Added checking for illegal dotted variables.
5.51
· Added some keywords I missed.
5.50
· New keywords for 5.5 included.
5.31

· Indents can now be 1 character, previous lower limit was 2.
· Indent settings cycle in reverse with the shift key depressed.
· Continued line indenting is no longer forced to be at least the same as indenting.
· *** Check your configuration settings having to do with indenting to make sure they are valid.
5.21
· Words added to RSTYLE.PRE will now be cased as they are in the file. This is the only alteration made to these words.
5.20
· Added the variables %1 through %9 to the list of recognized words to prevent their unnecessary showing up in the RSTYLE.NEW file.
· Added all the R:BASE representations for extended characters to the list of words that R:Style knows so they don't have to be quoted to prevent their showing up in RSTYLE.NEW.
5.13
· Found out that 5.12 was not outputting new names to RSTYLE.NEW. Must have happened with the changes to 5.03.
5.12
· It was notified that R:Style shortens COUNT to COU and that SELECT COU() causes a syntax error so COU and COUNT are now considered separate keywords and neither will be changed. Also, no abbreviation of WHILEOPT, CAPTION and FONT are allowed. The shortest form of EXPLODE is EXPL and STATICDB is STAT. These are all fixed in this version.
5.11
· Now preserves file date and time of each file processed.
5.10
· Now compliant with R:BASE 5.1.
5.03
· At one time I thought it would be cool if words added to RSTYLE.NEW became part of the pool of casing examples. Turns out that this can confuse things so now RSTYLE.NEW just there for reference. New words are added as they occur. You can still move the words to RSTYLE.CAS and RSTYLE.VAR to add them to the casing lists.
· Fixed bug causing RETUR instead of RETURN to be appended to files.
5.02a
· Minor adjustment to wrapping logic so SET VAR followed by long string in parenthesis is handled a little smoother.
5.02

4.22
· ENDSW is the official short form of ENDSWITCH but ENDS works in some versions of R:BASE including 4.5++.
· ENDS is now recognized but is converted to ENDSW.
4.21
· Fixed erroneous error message when using keyword NUM.
· Fixed bug in which caused necessary space to be lost when a line ending in a word with no trailing space is terminated by a plus and the following line begins with a space.
4.20
· Now handles unlimited length commands, as long as any one line does not exceed 5000 characters.
· Forms in databases converted with Convert Express have fields which contain char(0) when they should be an R:BASE NULL. When these forms are unloaded the bogus characters are placed in the target file. This confused the daylights out of R:Style. These bogus characters are replaced with a SPACE character which should avoid all problems of this sort.
· Much faster unwrapping.
· Improvements to mixed indenting.
· Files created with UNLOAD now will be automatically fixed to avoid lines broken in mid-word without having to set unwrapping on.
4.12

· Fixed bug which caused a sharing violation when calling from the editor.
4.01
· Implemented RSTYLE.CFE for definition of Text Editor Calling String.
4.0
· Support for interfacing with text editors added. Currently will support Brief, QEdit, WordPerfect Office Editor. Others will be added and updates sent to any registered user who supplies me with the necessary info on their editor, if they are paid up for version 4.0. Many editors are capable of being interfaced both ways. Access editor from R:Style when errors are found, or access R:Style from editor though editor's compiler support.
· Properly handles files created by editors which pad the end of files with EOF characters. One of these is WordStar in non document mode. Cleans out this extra garbage.
· Checks for missing THENs.
· Supports SET SEMI ON!
· Fixed bug which indented block names when label outdenting is on.
· Checks for illegal block names (match command words)

3.31
· Fixed bug having to do with configurable SEMI and DELIMIT.
3.30b

3.14
· Improved handling of CHOOSE command.
3.13
· Improved wrapping avoids loosing white space for future unwrapping.
3.10
· Complete R:BASE 4.5 keywords
3.03
· Smarter algorithm allows for many more short abbreviations.
3.01
· Errorlevels documented and improved.
0 = no errors.
1 = syntax error in call to R:Style.
2 = illegal extension in file list.
3 = first time this version run, no processing done, make another attempt.
4 = failed to open a file.
5 = could not create cfg file.

· User can specify a numbered (0-9) local configuration file.
· User can specify an output file in which case source is not modified.
