added:

• new function win windowslib: WindowIsOpen(win#) returns True if the window with given number is opened

• reduced memory consumption for string in PED
• changed scroll size to 1 character when scrolling left or right
• changed behaviour of marked blocks, they behave now like blocks in other editors
• removed dependency of fontlib for diskfontlib when using ROM-font, so diskfont.library is not needed anymore if topaz is used!

• re-added serveral resident sourcefiles of BB2 for later improvement
• added disassembled source code for blitzlibs animlib, iffiolib, ilbmifflib
• added several StormWizard-demos made by @mbergmann-sh

• (PED) fixed misspelled tooltype "USE_INTELLISENSE_COMMANDS"
• (PED) fixed bug in routine to set current dir that led to problems when AmiBlitz3 was located in a longer path
• (PED) fixed intellisense that did not work anymose
