---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
29 Nov 2025 v4.50.14
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If not assigned, <shift del>, <ctrl ins> and <shift ins> default
to CutToWinClip(), CopyToWinClip() and PasteFromWinClip(). Thanks
to Knud van Eeden for the suggestion.

"/d and /q" switches added to call to cmd.exe when running
programs via the command processor.

In the console version, GetColorTableValue() and
SetColorTableValue() converted to use RBG values. Thanks to Carlo
Hogeveen for the report.

SearchPath(fn [,path [, dir]]) has been updated: path is now
optional, and if not passed, the system path environment is used.

Linux specific:

System clipboard support added. Works best if you have xclip or
xsel and your system supports the same. Might work with wl-copy
and the included sclip. For instance, sclip works in a real
xterm with Ubuntu, but does not fully work under WSL Ubuntu.

Shadows on boxes/windows now works. Thanks to Tom Collins for
reporting that it did not work.

Now works better on the Linux Console. Thanks to Guy Rouillier,
Knud van Eeden and Carlo Hogeveen for help with this.

Account for HOME environment variable ending in a slash.

In a clean GUI TSE 4.50.14 installation, when I open any macro.s file and try to compile it with the Macro Compile menu, TSE says "Semware's SAL compiler 'sc32.exe' not found".
This even happens when g32.exe was started from TSE's root directory.
And yes, "sc32.exe" exists in TSE's root folder.
And no, I have no TSE directories in my Windows PATH setting.

Reproduced:

This works fine with my configuration.
I also tried it with a fresh install.
Still works.
Not sure what could be going on.
I'll keep checking.

[Knud van Eeden]

Are you using this downloaded 

https://semware.com/files/tse-pro-install/tse-setup-4.50.14.zip

which we are using?

It should then be immediately reproducible.

Based on the read.me, and what I wrote, and where the error occurs in Compile.s, the most obvious suspect is the changed SearchPath command.
To test my theory I added my main TSE installation' s root to my Windows user PATH variable, and in that TSE installation compiling with the Macro Compile menu works again.

Sammy,

Your test macro sanity1 used to be able to test SearchPath, so I tried it, but it current fails elsewhere, reporting "get_text_found_bug StrFind() tag(1) expecting 'b', but found:I".
I am reverting to TSE v4.50.13 for my main TSE installation, and removing its Windows PATH.

Carlo

[S.E. Mitchell]

This is very frustrating - sanity1 works fine here :(
I definitely messed something up, but I don't know where.
Back to the drawing board I guess!

It maybe has something to do with the Microsoft Windows path.

If I do this:

g:\wordproc\tse\tse_beta45014 Sat 29-11-25 22:53:13>set PATH | find /i "tse"

g:\wordproc\tse\tse_beta45014 Sat 29-11-25 22:53:24>set PATH | find /i "g32"

g:\wordproc\tse\tse_beta45014 Sat 29-11-25 22:53:32>set PATH | find /i "e32"

it finds nothing (which is expected by me).

Maybe you find something about TSE thus. That explains then why it is 

not reproducible at your end at al, because TSE uses that to find the path.

Note: sanity1.s I can thus not run at all out of the box

(tested in really clean TSE 4.50.14, at 2 different locations.

because getting that compiler not found error immediately

when trying to run it.

Sammy,

If I may be so bold too,
Changing and forcing upon us something as subjective as TSE's colors in TSE 4.50.13 was quite "bold", especially without documenting it in the read.me and without giving users a way to revert back to TSE's previous colors.
The user-friendly way would have been to offer YOUR new colors in TSE's built-in "Set Color Palettes" configuration option, with a method to save the selected one.
The downloads I got on my BasicColors extension to "repair" TSE should not have been necessary.
I am sorry to see that you did not revert TSE's decades old colors back in TSE 4.50.14, and suggest that you do so in the next TSE version.

Dear Sammy, 

today, I read your mail from Saturday, and tried to download the new 4.50.15 version from the URL specified.

The download fails with the following message:

404 Not Found
The requested URL (/files/tse-pro-install/tse-setup-4.50.14.zip) was not found on this server.

Adjusting the URL manually to the new version number fails as well:

The requested URL (/files/tse-pro-install/tse-setup-4.50.15.zip) was not found on this server.

From the Semware home page, I get

• TSE for Windows (4.50 Oct 2024) New!

which dates from October 24.

I am not checking my GMail account every day (trying to get away from Google), so I maybe I'm a bit late to the release party - 

has 4.50.15 perhaps been withdrawn? 

All the best,

Harald.

 

[S.E. Mitchell]

Yes, it has been withdrawn.
Actual version was 4.50.14 (link was correct, subject was mistyped).
I hope to post 4.50.15 in the next few days.
Thanks for the interest!
