Greetings!!!!!!!
Thank you for your interest in the New York Text Editor. Actually,
the real name of this program is ME (short for Macro Editor), but
since many people are already familiar with my NEW YORK WORD word
processor, I decided to give a familiar moniker to the shareware
version of the editor.
This editor is actually a commercial product. You can find ads for
ME in issues of Dr. Dobb's Journal and Computer Languages. So what's
it doing on the bulletin boards???
In keeping with my philosophy of providing low-cost, powerful
products to the computing community, I priced ME at $39.95. Even
though ME has the power of the higher priced commercial editors, I
feel that $150 is way too much to pay for a tool which is a necessity.
Unfortunately, the price is also too low for most distributors to make
money on.
New York Word has already gathered a lot of interest from the good
press in publications like PC Magazine, PC-SIG Magazine, FOGLIGHT,
etc. People are already familiar with its power and flexible user
interface. A "kissin' cousin" of New York Word for the programmer
community would certainly be welcome in the shareware world. Hence, I
decided to release this version of ME as shareware.
The version of ME that you have is not crippled in any way. It's a
fully working version of the commercial product. It comes with on-line
documentation, help files, and several macros. (You can even save
files with it!) So what's the catch?
To registered users, I offer several utilities that can be used
with the editor. First and foremost, registered users get the macro
compiler. If you like the feel and the power of ME's macros, and you
want to start writing your own, you will need the macro compiler.
Second, I will send registered users a keyboard remapping program
(with source code). This is helpful if you want to remap the
keystrokes to be the same as your favorite editor/word processor.
Third, registered users are entitled to receive update notices, phone
support, etc.
Most of the commercial users of ME have decided to go for the
source code option. The source code is available for PERSONAL USE
only. (We have other arrangements for corporate users, OEM's and
VAR's). We hope that if you like the way ME operates, you will go for
the source code option too.
The prices for registered users are :
ME executables, macro compiler $39.95
$2.00 shipping U.S.
$6.00 shipping overseas
ME source code for personal use $94.95
$2.00 shipping U.S.
$6.00 shipping overseas
New York Word word processor $44.95
$2.00 shipping U.S.
$6.00 shipping overseas
As of 4/20/87, the phone number where you can reach me at is
(201) 792 - 3954 after 9PM EST
If you don't reach me, you can leave a message on the machine. If you
let me call you collect, then I will promptly return your call.
I log on to several bulletin boards regularly, so you can leave me
messages at any one of these boards. The boards are :
PCSI(home of DBBS) NYC, NY (212) 529 - 0497
Software Society Lake Mohawk, NJ (201) 729 - 7410
Microsellar Verona, NJ (201) 239 - 1346
The Boss Tenafly(?), NJ (201) 568 - 7293
Hope you enjoy the editor!!!!!
