INTRODUCTION:
-------------
TextPad aims to provide the power and functionality to satisfy your most
demanding text editing requirements. It is Windows hosted, and comes in
16 and 32-bit editions. The same huge files can be edited by either -
just choose the edition that works best with your PC. The 32-bit edition
will work with Win32s and Windows 95 (Beta 3 or later).
TextPad has been implemented according to the Windows 95 user interface
guidelines, so great attention has been paid to making it easy for both
beginners and experienced users. In-context help is available for all
commands, and in-context menus pop-up with the right mouse button. The
multi-document interface allows multiple files to be edited simultaneousl
y,
with up to 2 views on each file. You can drag and drop text between file
s.
In addition to the usual cut and paste capabilities, you can correct the
most common typing errors with commands to change case, and transpose
characters and lines. Other commands let you indent blocks of text, spli
t
or join lines, and insert whole files. Any change can be undone or redon
e,
right back to the first one made. Visible bookmarks can be put on lines.
It also has a customizable tools menu, and integral file compare and sear
ch
commands, with hypertext jumps from the matched text to the corresponding
line in the source file.
To find out more, install TextPad by referring to the instructions below,
and then read the introduction in the on-line help file.
MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS:
---------------------
16-bit Edition: 32-bit Edition:
o 386SX with 4MB RAM o 486SX with 12MB RAM (only for NT)
o 1MB free disk space o 1MB free disk space
o Windows 3.1 in 386 o Windows NT 3.1 or
enhanced mode Windows 3.1 with Win32s 1.2
(See Backwards Compatibility below)
INSTALLATION:
-------------
From a ZIP File:
1) Unzip into a new temporary directory, with PKUNZIP 2.04g.
2) Run SETUP.EXE using File Manager or Program Manager.
3) Follow the on-screen instructions, but install into a
different directory from that in step 1 above.
4) Delete the files unzipped in step 1 above.
From Floppy Disk:
1) From Program Manager, choose the Run command from the
File menu.
2) Type "A:\SETUP" to run the TextPad setup program.
3) Follow the on-screen instructions.
You can install both editions into the same directory.
There is no need to modify your search path.
To enable TextPad's DDE capabilities, you can use REGEDIT to merge
the corresponding TXTPAD16.REG or TXTPAD32.REG file (or double click
the file with File Manager), but you must edit it first to give the
correct path to the TextPad executable. It assumes that your
installation directory is C:\TEXTPAD. See the on-line help for more
information.
BACKWARDS COMPATIBILITY:
------------------------
The 32-bit edition needs NT 3.5, Win32s 1.25 or Windows 95 (Beta 3
or later). If you have NT 3.1 or an earlier release of Win32s, you
must patch the Windows subsystem in TXTPAD32.EXE using PATCHSYS.EXE
from the installation disk as follows:
A:\PATCHSYS -3 TXTPAD32.EXE
You can change it back again using "-4" instead of "-3".
RESTRICTED FEATURES:
--------------------
The following features are only available to registered users:
1) OLE2 drag and drop editing. Local drag and drop editing is always
available, but scrolling has not been implemented. This means
that you can drop text in the visible view, but you cannot scroll
the
view whilst dragging.
2) Searching of subdirectories with the Find in Files command.
REGISTRATION:
-------------
If you make use of TextPad you must register it. Registered users
will receive a copy of the latest releases of both the 16 and 32-bit
editions, along with the Win32s and OLE2 files necessary for running
in 32-bit mode on Windows 3.1.
Click the "How to Purchase" button in the About dialog box, or see
the file REGISTER.TXT for details.
ENHANCEMENTS:
-------------
You can now make TextPad stay on top of all other windows. This is
set from the View tab of the Options dialog box. NB. It stays on top
of online help as well!
The maximum number of files on the Files menu has increased from 9
to 16.
The 32-bit edition can now edit files with more than 32,000 lines,
up to the limits of virtual memory. Word-wrap mode still retains
the original limit.
The Save As command has been implemented for the Search and Command
output windows.
You can now set/clear bookmarks using the right click menu, and the
Transpose and Insert Line commands have been added to it.
The 32-bit edition now uses the new File Open dialog under Windows
95.
You can now delete backwards or forwards to a start of word using
Ctrl+Backspace and Ctrl+Delete respectively.
The Find in Files (grep) command now has an option to recursively
search subdirectories.
SETTING COLORS:
---------------
The foreground and background colors used by TextPad can be modified,
but there is no user interface yet. To make changes, you must edit
the [Colors] section in TEXTPAD.INI. Each color is specified by 6
hex digits in the form BBGGRR, so black is 000000, green is 00FF00,
light gray is C0C0C0, and white is FFFFFF. You can only use the
sixteen standard Windows colors, so the nearest color will be used if
you specify anything else. The defaults are as specified in Control
Panel. Note that if you use TextPad to edit TEXTPAD.INI, your
changes will be overwritten when you exit, so use NotePad!
TIPS:
-----
- Ctrl+Left button in the margin selects the whole file.
- Double left click in the margin selects the line.
- Ctrl+Shift+O brings up a simple dialog box for file opening.
- When the File Open dialog box is enabled for multi-file opening,
it does not show long file names (except on Windows 95). This
setting can be changed on the Configure/Options dialog box.
- After you have saved the Search or Command output results as an
ordinary file, it loses its hypertext jump property, but you can
always load an ordinary file into the Command output window by
capturing the output from the DOS TYPE command.

TextPad is a "shareware program" and is provided at no charge
to the user for evaluation. Feel free to share it with your

TextPad and continue to use it after a reasonable trial period,
you must make a registration payment. This registration fee
will license one copy for use on any one computer at any one time.

they register, and free technical support for a limited period
(see the on-line help for details).
You must treat this software just like a book. For example,
this software may be used by any number of people and may be
freely moved from one computer location to another, as long as
there is no possibility of it being used at more than one
location at a time. Just as a book cannot be read by two
people at the same time.
Commercial users of TextPad must register and pay for their
copies of TextPad within 30 days of first use or their license
is withdrawn. Site License arrangements may be made by
contacting Helios Software Solutions.
Anyone distributing TextPad for any kind of remuneration must
first contact Helios Software Solutions at the address below for
authorization. This authorization will be automatically granted
to distributors recognized by the (ASP) as adhering to its

begin offering TextPad immediately. (However Helios Software
Solutions must still be advised so that the distributor can be
kept up-to-date with the latest version of TextPad.).
You are encouraged to pass a copy of TextPad along to your
friends for evaluation, but you must include all files in the
original distribution. Please encourage them to register their
copy if they find that they make use of it.
