Search and replace do default to case-insensitive now.  However, the
.INI file is a mess.  The editor uses neither OPENDOSCFG nor DRDOSCFG,
but instead looks for a NWDOSCFG variable -- then tries to read from
OPENDOS.INI instead of DRDOS.INI.  Ick!  I recommend not downloading
this update.  Use the version of the editor which shipped with 7.02
instead.  It doesn't grok the DRDOSCFG variable, but it should be able
to find and use DRDOS.INI anyhow.

Here we have a subtle side effect of frequent product name changes.
Somebody needs to slap those guys in "management."
