If the compilation facility was used then the current buffer might be displayed in the output window. In addition the buffer would get marked as a system buffer which resulted in the buffer no longer showing up in the buffer list and for undo to be turned off.

CR.EXE: You can now perform stdin redirection when starting CRiSP. E.g. DIR | CR.EXE to edit the output of a DIR command.

Fix various scrollbar problems.

Windows->Windows menu option now properly shows correct window titles.

vi mode: now takes us to the first non-blank character of the line.

Tags: New option added: auto-create. This stops the browser from creating tag files in directories where a tags file was not previously present and gives you more control of where to put tags. If your tag path contains a relative tag file name, then manually create the tag files. This makes it easier to have a single tag file for a project rather than CRiSP trying to create one in every directory.

crtags: Not properly parsing C/C++ enum or struct declarations when following a prior enum/struct/union .

Win32: CR.EXE: inq_kbd_flags() primitive now works correctly.
