+FAIR WARNING
+---------------------------------
+
+THINGS WILL GET CRASHY FAST IF ANY .ttf FILES ARE MISSING.
+THIS EFFECT WILL ALSO OCCUR IF YOU LAUNCH FROM A DIRECTORY
+THAT DOESN'T CONTAIN THE .ttf FILES. (This problem will be
+fixed eventually).
+
+This build is extremely "janky" for lack of a better term. From what limitted testing
+I have been able to do I think it should run on a Windows 7 machine. It has not been
+launched at all on any other version of Windows. I have done what I can to get rid of
+the bugs and crashes that would make it unusable, but there are certainly more in there
+if you start digging and pressing hard enough.
+
+**Please USE SOURCE CONTROL WITH 4CODER for now**
+
+-----------------------------------------------------
+INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
+-----------------------------------------------------
+
+****Changes in 4.0.3****
+4coder now uses 0% CPU when you are not using it.
+
+There is a scrollbar on files now.  (It is not the nicest scrollbar to use in the world,
+but the real purpose it serves is to indicate where in a file you are.  I imagine most
+scrolling will still happen with the wheel or cursor navigation.)
+
+File lists are now arrow navigatable and scrollable... these two systems do no work
+together very well yet.
+
+Color adjusting is possible again, but the UI is heavily downgraded from the fancieness
+of the old system.
+
+While editing:
+alt + Z: execute command line with the same output buffer and same command
+   as in the previous use of "alt + z".
+
+****Changes in 4.0.2****
+The previous file limit of 128 has been raised to something over 8 million.
+
+A *messages* buffer is now opened on launch to provide some information about
+ new features and messages will be posted there to report events sometimes.
+
+subst and link directories no longer confuse the system, it treats them as one file.
+
+on the command line: -f <N> sets the font size, the default is 16
+
+ctrl + e: centers the view on the cursor
+
+****Changes in 4.0.0****
+alt + x: changed to arbitrary command (NOW WORKS ANYWHERE!)
+Opens a command prompt from which you can execute:
+   "open menu" to open the menu (old behavior of alt+x)
+   "open all code" loads all cpp and h files in current directory
+   "close all code" closes all cpp and h files currently open
+   "open in quotes" opens the file who's name under the cursor is surrounded by quotes
+   "dos lines" dosify the file end of iles
+   "nix lines" nixify the file end of iles
+
+alt + z: execute arbitrary command-line command
+Specify an output buffer and a command to execute
+and the results will be dropped into the specified buffer.
+
+****Command line options****
+4ed [<files-to-open>] [options]
+
+-d/-D <filename> -- use a dll other than 4coder_custom.dll for your customizations
+ -d -- if the file isn't found look for 4coder_custom.dll
+ -D -- only look for the specified
+
+-i <line-number> -- line number to jump to in first file to open specified on command line
+
+-w <w, h> -- width and height of the 4coder window
+-p <x, y> -- position of the 4coder window
+
+-W -- open in full screen, overrides -w and -p, although the size will still be the default size of the window
+
+-T -- invoke special tool isntead of launching 4coder normally
+   -T version : prints the 4coder version string
+
+****Old Information****
+Basic Navigation:
+mouse click - move cursor
+arrows - move cursor
+home & end - move cursor to beginning/end of line
+page up & page down - page up & page down respectively
+control + left/right - move cursor left/right to first whitespace
+control + up/down - move cursor up or down to first blank line
+
+Fancy Navigation:
+control + f : begin find mode, uses interaction bar
+control + r : begin reverse-find mode, uses interaction bar
+
+While in find mode or reverse-find mode, pressing enter ends the mode
+leaving the cursor wherever the find highlighter is, and pressing escape
+ends the mode leaving the cursor wherever it was before the find mode began.
+
+control + g - goto line number
+control + m - swap cursor and mark
+
+Basic Editing:
+characters keys, delete, and backspace
+control + c : copy between cursor and mark
+control + x : cut between cursor and mark
+control + v : paste at cursor
+control + V : use after normal paste to cycle through older copied text
+control + d : delete between cursor and mark
+control + SPACE : set mark to cursor
+
+Undo and History:
+control + z : undo
+control + y : redo
+control + Z: undo / history timelines
+control + h: history back step
+control + H: history forward step
+alt + left: increase rewind speed (through undo)
+alt + right: increase fastforward speed (through redo)
+alt + down: stop redining / fastforwarding
+
+Fancy Editing:
+control + u : to uppercase between cursor and mark
+control + j : to lowercase between cursor and mark
+control + q: query replace
+control + a: replace in range
+control + =: write increment
+control + -: decrement increment
+control + [: write {} pair with cursor in line between
+control + {: as <control + [> with a semicolon after "}"
+control + }: as <control + [> with a "break;" after "}"
+control + 9: wrap the range specified by mark and cursor in parens
+control + i: wrap the range specified by mark and cursor in #if 0 #endif
+
+Whitespace Boringness:
+Typing characters: },],),; and inserting newlines cause the line to autotab
+TAB: word complete
+control + TAB : auto indent lines between cursor and mark
+shift + TAB: auto indent cursor line
+control + 1 : set the file to dos mode for writing to disk
+control + ! : set the flie to nix mode for writing to disk
+
+Viewing Options:
+alt + c - open theme selection UI
+control + p : vertically split the current panel (max 16)

+BUILDING 4coder_custom
+-------------------------------------
+
+To customize 4coder you have to build 4coder_custom.dll. The batch file buildsuper.bat will
+compile the dll for you if you have visual studio installed. If you have an old version, use
+the example to figure out how to get your old setup working in the new system.
+
+As you create your customizations keep in mind that this API is still in development.
+I will do what I can to keep your customizations working as I settle on an API, but some
+updates may deeply break your code.
+
+-------------------------------------
+SOME DOCUMENTATION
+-------------------------------------
+
+See comments in 4coder_default_bindings.cpp for more detailed information.
+
+Functions to implement (optional in the dll, but required if you are using buildsuper.bat):
+get_bindings
+
+NEW IN 4.0.3:
+================
+The build system for customizations has been changed.  There is no longer a 4coder_custom.cpp.
+Instead the default customizations are in 4coder_default_bindings.cpp.  The batch file takes a parameter
+that tells it what file to treat as the target for building, if the parameter is not defined it defaults to
+4coder_default_bindings.cpp.
+
+NEW IN 4.0.2:
+================
+#include "4coder_default.cpp" at the top of your own file to get a lot of the default functions
+such as incremental search, various word boundry seeks, and so on.
+
+app->buffer_seek_string_insensitive(app, &buffer, start, str, len, seek_forward, &out);
+Exactly the same as app->buffer_seek_string, but the matching rule is case insensitive
+
+app->get_command_input(app);
+Returns a User_Input that represents the input event that triggered the current command.
+
+app->print_message(app, str, len);
+Put a string into the *message* buffer.
+
+OLD API DOC:
+================================================================
+There is an API available to custom commands and hooks, described at length here.
+The system has two main data types, buffers and views.  A buffer contains text,
+undo history, and tokens.  Views looks at a file and has a cursor a mark a highlight
+and so on. The view and buffer are not the same because not all buffers are viewed,
+and there may be two views viewing the same buffer.
+
+================
+app->memory;
+app->memory_size;
+Here you get 2mb of memory that are completely yours to do whatever you need to do.  This is for
+those who found that malloc was not working for their allocation needs.  There are currently no
+allocation helpers so you'll have to figure out how to manage it.
+
+================
+app->directory_get_hot(app, out, capacity);
+Fills the out buffer with the "hot directory", which is the last directory 4coder has visited.
+If it cannot write out the whole name it writes only what it can.
+
+Always returns the length of the current hot directory in bytes.
+
+================
+app->file_exists(app, filename, len);
+Filename can be either a full path or a relative path.
+
+Returns whether the file exists.
+
+================
+app->directory_cd(app, dir, &len, capacity, rel_path, rel_len);
+Looks at dir and updates it's contents as if a "cd" command had been cone from that directory.
+if rel_path is ".." then the .. is not appended as a string, the directory is shortened if possible.
+
+Returns false if the directory does not exist or if ".." was specified but it is impossible to back up,
+returns true otherwise.
+
+================
+app->get_file_list(app, dir, len);
+If the directory exists, generates a list of all files and folders in that directory.  All File_List structs
+generated by get_file_list should be freed with free_file_list.
+
+Returns a File_List struct listing all files and folders in dir, or an empty list if dir does not exist or is empty.
+
+================
+app->free_file_list(app, list);
+Frees a File_List created by get_file_list.
+
+================
+struct File_List;
+The important fields are:
+  File_Info *infos;
+  int count;
+count is the number of File_Info structs in the File_Info array.
+
+struct File_Info;
+  String filename;
+  int folder;
+folder is 1 or 0 to indicate whether the entry is a file or folder.
+filrname is a string which may be editted, but not resized, that is filled with the name of a file or folder.
+
+================
+app->get_buffer_first(app);
+app->get_buffer_next(app, &buffer);
+The new method for looping over buffers is:
+
+for (Buffer_Summary b = app->get_buffer_first(app);
+      b.exists;
+      app->get_buffer_next(app, &b)) {  }
+
+================
+app->get_buffer(app, index);
+Returns a Buffer_Summary which contains information about a buffer and acts as the
+handle to the buffer for other functions.  The parameter index can be anything in the
+range [0,max) where max comes from app->get_buffer_max_index
+
+================
+app->get_active_buffer(app, index);
+Returns a Buffer_Summary obtained from the active panel.
+
+================
+app->get_buffer_by_name(app, str, len);
+Returns a Buffer_Summary who's "full source path" exactly matches str. There is
+currently no way to look a buffer up by "live name" the short name shown on the top bar.
+
+Buffers that are not associated with real files such as *compilation* have their "full source path"
+name set to the same value as their live name, therefore you can get a *compilation* buffer with
+this API by the name "*compilation*".
+
+================
+app->refresh_buffer(app, &buffer);
+If a changes are made to a buffer the changes are not necessarily reflected in your Buffer_Summary,
+use this to get updated information on the buffer.  All commands in the low level API will udpate
+your Buffer_Summary if a change is made, so refreshing afterwards is not necessary in that case.
+
+The function returns 1 on success and 0 on failure.
+
+================
+app->buffer_seek_delimiter(app, &buffer, start, delim, seek_forward, &out);
+Starting from start, seeks forward or backward until the first occurance of delim,
+the pointer out is filled with the position of the delimiter.
+
+If no delimiter is found out is filled with -1 for backward seeks and the size of the buffer on forward seeks.
+
+The function returns 1 on success and 0 on failure.
+
+================
+app->buffer_seek_string(app, &buffer, start, str, len, seek_forward, &out);
+Starting from start, seeks forward or backward until the first occurance of str,
+the pointer out is filled with the position of the delimiter.
+
+If no str is found out is filled with -1 for backward seeks and the size of the buffer on forward seeks.
+
+The function returns 1 on success and 0 on failure.
+
+================
+app->buffer_read_range(app, &buffer, start, end, buffer_out);
+Fills buffer_out with the text that the buffer contains in the range [start,end) it is your responsibility
+to ensure that the memory pointed to by buffer_out is at least (end - start) bytes.
+
+The function returns 1 on success and 0 on failure.
+
+================
+app->buffer_replace_range(app, &buffer, start, end, str, len);
+Replaces the text in the range between start and end with the the text in str.  It is allowed that
+start == end so that you may insert str without replacing anything, and it is allowed that len == 0
+so that you may delete text without replacing it with anything.  These edits are tracked by history
+and cause an update in the tokens if there are tokens.  Your buffer will be updated to reflect
+the change in the buffer caused by this edit.
+
+The function returns 1 on success and 0 on failure.
+
+================
+View_Summary:
+There use to be a lot of different view types and only "file views" were exposed in the API.
+As of alpha 4 there are only views and you can always get a view.
+
+Besides renaming the struct, there is also a change in the meaning of the "buffer_id" field.
+A view can have a buffer attached, but not currently be looking at that file.
+
+All of the following indicate the buffer associated with the view:
+buffer_id
+locked_buffer_id
+hidden_buffer_id
+
+These ids are nulled out to indicate that access at a particular level is not available.
+buffer_id - 
+This is null if the file is not visible in the view OR if the view is locked.
+A view is only locked right now for read only buffers (compilation output).
+
+locked_buffer_id -
+This is null only if the file is not visible.
+
+hidden_buffer_id -
+This is never null.
+
+In normal circumstances you can just use buffer_id and your code will automatically do
+nothing when you try to edit a buffer you should not.
+
+If what you are writing is unusual and it SHOULD edit a buffer even if it is locked or
+hidden, then you can use the other ids to get deeper access.
+
+================
+app->get_view_first(app);
+app->get_view_next(app, &view);
+The new method for looping over views is:
+
+for (View_Summary v = app->get_view_first(app);
+      v.exists;
+      app->get_view_next(app, &v)) {  }
+
+================
+app->get_file_view(app, index);
+Returns a View_Summary which contains information about a file view and acts as
+the handle to the file view for other functions.  The parameter index can be anything in the
+range [0,max) where max comes from app->get_view_max_index
+
+================
+app->get_active_file_view(app, index);
+Returns a View_Summary obtained from the active panel.
+
+================
+app->refresh_file_view(app, &view);
+If a changes are made to a view the changes are not necessarily reflected in your View_Summary,
+use this to get updated information on the view.  All commands in the low level API will udpate
+your View_Summary if a change is made, so refreshing afterwards is not necessary in that case.
+
+The function returns 1 on success and 0 on failure.
+
+================
+struct Buffer_Seek;
+This struct specifies how to set a position in a file, it is in 4coder_buffer_types.h look there to see
+all the options.
+
+The following helpers will return Buffer_Seek structs for you:
++ To seek to a particular position (0-based-indexing) use seek_pos(pos)
++ To seek to a particular xy you either want seek_wrapped_xy(x, y, round_down)
+     or seek_unwrapped_xy(x, y, round_down). Wrapped vs unwrapped refers to whether
+     line wrapping is on. Both seek types are valid whether or not lines are wrapped, but
+     the results may be surprising if you do not match the correct type.  round_down is usually 0,
+     and the effect is subtle, it has to do with whether the y position should be rounded down or rounded
+     to the nearest line.  x and y are specified in pixels to move the y up or down a while line use view.line_height.
++ To seek to a particular line and character index on that line use seek_line_char(line, char_index)
+
+================
+app->view_set_cursor(app, &view, seek, set_preferred_x)
+Updates the cursor location in this view.  See information on the Buffer_Seek struct above for more
+information.  set_preferred_x if true set's the "preferred_x" of view to match the x of the cursor. The
+preferred_x is the x the cursor tries to stay at as it moves up and down.  Most cursor motion does set
+the preferred_x.
+
+The function updates the data in the View_Summary.
+
+The function returns 1 on success and 0 on failure.
+
+================
+app->view_set_mark(app, &view, seek)
+Updates the mark location in this view.  See information on the Buffer_Seek struct above for more
+information.
+
+The function updates the data in the View_Summary.
+
+The function returns 1 on success and 0 on failure.
+
+================
+app->view_set_highlight(app, &view, start, end, on)
+If on is 0 this call turns the highlight off.
+If on is 1 this call turns the highlight on and sets the highlight to range from start to end.
+
+While the highlight is on the view will follow the end of the highlight and the cursor will be hidden.
+Be sure to turn the highlight off when you're done with it!
+
+The function returns 1 on success and 0 on failure.
+
+================
+app->view_set_file(app, &view, file_id)
+Set this view to look at a different buffer (the buffer must already be opened and have a file_id).
+
+The function updates the data in the View_Summary.
+
+The function returns 1 on success and 0 on failure.
+
+================
+app->get_user_input(app, get_type, abort_type);
+This is a blocking operation that will allow 4coder to continue operating.  The next input event
+will be intercepted by this command, and will not be interpreted as normal.  Input events include:
+    pressing a key
+    clicking left or right
+    rolling the mouse wheel
+    moving the mouse
+
+The get_type flags specify a filter of what types of input you'd like to be notified about.  Even if you
+are not notified about keyboard input events, they are still not passed to any other systems to be
+interpreted as commands or text input.  The same is true for mouse input with the exception of
+panel resizing, which can be done durring a command.
+
+The abort_type flags specify the set of inputs you'd like to get an abort message on.  It is good to
+specify abort flags so that the system will know when your command is about to finish up.  After
+getting an abort message you can continue to do other work and call commands with exec_command
+but you should not call app->get_user_input again.  It will not cause an error if you do, but it could lead
+to unexpected behavior.  And in the future it might be that it IS an error to call get_user_input after an abort.
+
+================
+struct User_Input;
+type: either UserInputKey or UserInputMouse
+abort: true if this is an abort message, false otherwise
+key: information about a key event
+mouse: information about a mouse event
+command: if this event would be translated into a command normally, this is the command.
+
+Use CommandEqual to compare two commands in a typeless way since
+cmdid_* and custom commands have different types.
+
+================
+key is of type:
+struct Key_Event_Data;
+keycode: always set to exactly the key that was pressed
+character: a translation of the key press that takes into account Shift/Control/Alt/AltrGr/Caps-Lock
+character_no_caps_lock: same as "character" but doesn't take Caps-Lock into account
+
+modifiers[i]: flags for modifiers were held when this key was pressed
+   i: MDFR_SHIFT_INDEX, MDFR_CONTROL_INDEX, MDFR_ALT_INDEX, MDFR_CAPS_INDEX
+
+TIP! Don't use MDFR_SHIFT, MDFR_CTRL, MDFR_ALT in the array! Those are bit masks, not indices!
+
+================
+mouse is of type:
+struct Mouse_State;
+l - whether the left button is down
+r - whether the right button is down
+press_l - whether the left button was just put down
+press_r - whether the right button was just put down
+release_l - whether the left button was just released
+release_r - whether the right button was just released
+wheel - values of 1, 0, -1.  Does not report wheel amount, only direction.
+out_of_window - 1 if the mouse is outside of the 4coder window, 0 otherwise
+x, y - position of the mouse relative to the 4coder window
+
+================
+app->start_query_bar(app, &bar, 0);
+Notify 4coder that you are using a Query_Bar and you want it rendered onto the screen.
+While the query bar is still running any changes you make to prompt or string will be
+shown right away, you don't have to ask 4coder to update it's bar because it reads straight
+out of your Query_Bar.
+
+If the pointer you pass goes bad, because a stack frame ends or you otherwise no longer
+need the bar, you should call app->end_query_bar(app, &bar); so that 4coder doesn't try
+to render a query bar from garbage memory.  If the command finishes and there are query
+bars that haven't been ended, 4coder automatically ends them.
+
+There is a limit of 8 simultaneous queries bars and right now only file views support them.
+The abillity to make a Query_Bar in other views including the empty view will come in the future though.
+
+The 0 is there because Iintend to add flags for query bars in the future,
+for modifying their appearance and behavior.
+
+Returns 1 if it successfully started a query bar.
+
+================
+app->end_query_bar(app, &bar);
+See start_query_bar for details.
+
+================
+Theme changing API
+
+app->change_theme(app, name, len)
+Set the theme to one of the prebuilt themes by name.
+
+app->change_font(app, name, len)
+Set the font to one of the fonts by name (not by ttf file name, by the name in the list).
+
+app->set_theme_colors(app, colors, count)
+Set colors of the current theme by tag color pairs.
+
