## README

Welcome to the GO.  Make yourself at home.

This is GTK Office 0.1.33 cvs version.  The current version is only a text editor.  It doesn't yet do much more.  But it will.
The odd minor version number (the 1) means that the GO 0.1.33 is not a completely stable release.  There is, as yet, no stable
release of the GO.  I'll probably release 0.2.0 as soon as I've got the base functionality I'm going after.

IMPORTANT:
The go automatically saves whenever you make a change.  Firstly, I would suggest you not edit large files.  100-200 K is fine. 
I'm talking in the megabytes here.  This problem will be solved at some point when we introduce the *.go file format.  Until then,
I would suggest using emacs for editting your 5 M files.

Secondly, the GO doesn't yet save the undo list across sessions.  While you're still in a session, you can undo all changes, but
as soon as you quit, you no longer can.  GO saves all changes you have made when you're editting and when you quit.  It does
not prompt if you want them changed.
Except for the lack of cross session undo, these are all features, not bugs.  I truly mean that.  I do plan to add cross session undo
eventually.  I could do it now but don't really care enough to do so.  It will be a bit longer before it saves undos if the thing crashes,
but it should eventually.  Actually, I'm going to add a choice to restore the version of the file before editting if the system crashes.
Thanks for the idea.

Files created using File->New (and many plugins) don't get autosaved.  This is because I don't want to be saving lots of files called
Untitled all over my hard drive.  To create a file, choose open and then choose a file name that doesn't exist yet.  Also, there's no Save
because it would be absolutely redundant.

Now for the show:

Features:
	Automatically saves all changes.
	Manipulable list of recently opened documents.  (Document Index)
	Undo to the beginning of the session.
	Saves the position of windows and the cursor and scroll position in windows.  (Persistant Desktop)
	Listing of currently opened windows.
	Search for simple text strings.
	Replace them with other simple text strings.
	Regexp search and replace.
	Opening a file that doesn't exist yet creates it.
	Concurrent editing of multiple files.
	Multiple views of the same file with concurrent updating of different windows.

Is it a feature?
	Connects multiple actions that are adjacent (either order for deletes, in order for inserts(typing)) and within 15 seconds of
each other are appended into one action.  I think this needs to be changed some, but I'm not sure exactly how.

Planned features:
