The tgz file has Scite, Scintilla, and Lexilla, but the zip file only has 
Scintilla

Just an FYI.

Going to put an hour or three into EDGE_FULL_BACKGROUND and 
EDGE_MULTI_BACKGROUND today. Probably more time tomorrow.

Probably second submission for following if I am happy with how it turns 
out.

Might also take a stab at adding SCI_SETTABLIST()  SCI_GETTABLIST() over 
next few days. If there is pushback I guess I'll just add it to 
CsScintilla. Yes, today's script kiddies won't see a need for it, but some 
of us long in the tooth get paid to support ANSI-COBOL, RPG-II, and a host 
of other card format languages and we don't have good free-as-in-beer 
options.

Add a boolean SCI_SETUSETABSTOPS() with SCI_GETUSETABSTOPS(). Again, 
today's script kiddies probably neither care nor comprehend this need, but 
it has been a bur under my saddle since I started working on PCs in the 
1980s and part of a years ago ranting blog post.

Yes, many users won't care but this is a real problem for people trying to 
work remote and maintain card format code. We end up having to be "dialed 
into" the Host system using a real terminal editor so we can use the editor 
on the platform that lines it up right for the compiler . . . and having a 
manager demanding we come into the office to use a securely connected 
terminal.

Neil, if you don't want any of this, that's fine, CsScintilla will just 
branch further away from Scintilla. It's already a bit distant. I just have 
to leave a large enough gap to rule out constant-collision in my lifetime.
