WELCOME TO WinEdit!
This disk contains WinEdit version 3.0g, compiled for standard 16 bit
Windows and several associated utilities and files.
32 bit versions of WinEdit for Windows NT on Intel, Dec Alpha, and MIPS
platforms are also available. Only the Professional level is available
for Windows NT machines.
WinEdit is a fast and powerful ASCII/ANSI text editor. It is available
in three different levels of functionality for Windows 3.1 and at
the Professional level for Windows NT:
WinEdit Lite Provides super fast editing of any size text file.
Handy button bar for common operations.
$29.95
WinEdit Standard Adds the ability to compile programs directly from
WinEdit and view the output to fix errors.
$59.95
WinEdit Pro Adds a complete macro scripting language to allow
professional users to write their own WinEdit menus.
$89.95
WinEdit 32 Pro Native 32-bit application for Windows NT on Intel, Dec
Alpha, and MIPS platforms. Includes FREE copy of
WinEdit Pro for Windows 3.1.
$129.95
All three levels are contained within the same executable program, in both
the evaluation and registered versions. By selecting "Lite", "Standard", or
"Professional" from the "File ... Settings" menu, you enable all features at
that level. When you register WinEdit, you will receive a registration
number which will allow you to use WinEdit at the registration level you
have selected, although you will still be able to use features belonging to
a higher level on an evaluation basis. For example, if you register WinEdit
at the Standard level, you would select "Standard" from the settings menu,
so that only Standard-level functions will appear on the WinEdit menus, and
everything would operate normally. If you decided to select "Professional"
from the settings menu, additional functions would become available, but if
you used one of those Pro-level functions you would first receive a message
informing you that the feature you had selected is not included in the
Standard level, and that you should upgrade to the higher level if you plan
to continue using that function. You can upgrade to a higher level at any
time; the cost is the difference in registration price between the level you
are currently registered for and the level you are upgrading to, plus $5.00.
SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
WinEdit requires an IBM PC or compatible with a minimum of 2
megabytes of RAM, a rodent, 1.5 MB of hard drive space and
Microsoft Windows version 3.1 or higher.
*** SPECIAL BONUS FOR REGISTERED USERS ***
Registered users receive our new "Dialog Editor" which allows them to
graphically construct dialog boxes, (a lot like the Visual Basic dialog
editor), and other utilities to help make programming WinEdit macro
scripts just a tad easier and faster.
*** PREMIER SUPPORT NOW AVAILABLE ***
A fee based extended support system is now available to assist
corporate software engineering projects which require high technology
assistance, custom Windows programming, or custom interfaces to suites
of Windows applications. See the README2.TXT file for more information.
*** LATE-BREAKING NEWS ***
WinEdit 3.0 now includes the following new features:
Syntax coloring of source code files.
Fully configurable syntax coloring highlights keywords, quotes,
and comments in C, C++, WIL, Basic, dBase, and DOS and NT batch
files. Most any language can easily be added.
Easy to use key reassignments.
You can now reassign command hotkeys from an interactive dialog
in WinEdit. Menus are automatically updated to reflect the new
hotkeys. You can also define more than one hotkey for a command,
such as <Ctrl+Y> and <keypad -> to delete a line.
Improved compiler support
Choosing a compiler from the Project dialog's dropdown combo box
automatically configures WinEdit's error parsing logic for that
compiler. Supports Microsoft, Zortech, Watcom, Borland C++, Turbo
Pascal, Borland TASM, and Clipper. User-configurable for any other
compiler.
Improved macro recording
In the Pro version, the Macro Recorder now records all commands as
WIL scripts. When recording is concluded, the recorded script is
loaded into a document window for easy editing. Pre-configured
to automatically add the newly recorded script to the Macro Menu,
or fine tune your macro with any of over 400 WIL and WinEdit macro
functions.
Other new features:
Backup file creation, location, and name are configurable.
Changed (unsaved) files indicated on screen.
Improved support for read only files.
Improved network support.
Captured compiler output file location configurable.
Regular expressions in search can be disabled.
We have also corrected dozens of minor bugs that have been reported in
earlier versions of WinEdit.
WinEdit 3.0 is a major update from previous versions. Registered users of
previous versions of WinEdit will receive information on our low-cost
upgrade offer soon.
PACKING LIST:
Most files will end in a _ (underscore). Some of them have been
compressed and will be expanded by the setup program, whileas the
others are simply renamed. In any case, the setup program
(WSETUP.EXE) should take care of moving the files around.
