IMPORTANT NOTES:
================
1)
We no longer distribute the ShareSpell spelling checker with Vision
Edit in order to keep the size of our distribution file to minimum.
You can find ShareSpell or another spelling checker in most BBSes and
shareware archives.
2)
If you used any of the older versions of Vision Edit (< 3.5), make
sure you have removed ved.opt, all ved.dsk, and all *.cmd files. The
new options and desktop files are not compatible with the old ones. If
you do not remove the old ved.opt and ved.dsk warning messages will be
displayed: "Error reading Options file." and "Error reading Desktop
file.".
3)
We recommend that you add Vision Edit directory to the PATH statement
in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file e.g.: PATH=C:\DOS;C:\VED;
4)
For a better performance we recommend that you install expanded memory
and a disk cache software if possible.
5)
Beginning with version 3.5 we introduce educational package which may
be ordered by educational institutions only (e.g. Universities). For
details see REGISTER.DOC.
6) Only for owners of Northgate Omnikey keyboard
The owners of a Northgate Omnikey keyboard may experience problems
with some special keys e.g. arrow keys. We include MSOMNI.EXE utility
that fixes that problem. If you want do use it start Vision Edit as
VED_OMNI (there is a batch file VED_OMNI.BAT) instead of VED.
VGA Installation Procedure
==========================
If you have a VGA graphics card that supports other screen modes than
the standard ones (e.g. 132 columns) Vision Edit is capable of using
those screen modes. However, before other screen modes can be used,
you have to install them by following the procedure described below:
1) - If you have one of the following graphic cards:
ERGO-VGA, SPEEDSTAR, or TRIDENT go to step 3.
- If your VGA card manual lists all supported text modes
go to step 2.
- Otherwise, run TESTMODE.EXE (provided with Vision Edit) and write
down all useful text modes from 0 to 255. For each mode which you
want to use in Vision Edit write down: mode number, number of
lines, and number of columns later required by MAKEDRV.EXE
program. TESTMODE.EXE displays all the necessary information
(mode number and number of columns is already displayed), to
count the number of lines use down arrow key and go to the bottom
of the screen, the last number when cursor is still displayed
defines the number of lines).
2) - Run MAKEDRV.EXE program (provided with Vision Edit)
- Create a new driver for your card by selecting Driver|New menu
function. (Enter the name of the new driver - MYDRIVER.DRV and
press Enter )
- New entry dialog box is displayed. To navigate a cursor use "Tab"
key or a mouse.
- Enter a Name; press "Tab" key
- Enter a Version character; press "Tab" key
- now to add, edit or delete modes press "Ins", "Enter", or
"Delete" key respectively ( read status line )
- press "Ins" : dialog box for entering mode information
is dispalayed (enter - the NAME for a mode press "Tab"
- the MODE number press "Tab"
- the number of COLUMNS press "Tab'
- the number of LINES press "Enter"
this procedure repeat so many times as the number of modes
identified in step 1
- exit the program
3) Copy a created (or selected) driver (*.DRV) to Vision Edit home
directory and rename it to STANDARD.DRV.
4) Start Vision Edit and select "Options" item from Menu Bar. Select
the Change Screen Mode item from pull-down menu you should be able to
see a dialog box containing all your screen modes.
MACRO DEMOS:
============
The following Macro-Demo files have been provided with Vision Edit:
DEMO.MAC, DEMO1.MAC, DEMO2.MAC, DEMO3.MAC, DEMO4.MAC, DEMO5.MAC.
In order to use any macro-file you have to add it to a list of macros
using a function Read Macro from the Macro menu. After the file have
been added to a macro-list you can run it by selecting it from the
list (in Macro menu). DEMO6.MAC is not intended as a separate demo -
it is called by DEMO5.
ENTERING ASCII CODES:
=====================
You can enter ASCII codes directly from the keyboard - hold down Alt
key, enter ASCII code from the numeric keypad and release Alt key.
ASCII codes can be entered both into active window and into
Search/Replace dialog boxes.
You can also send ASCII codes to the edit window from the Ascii Table.
If you want to enter characters with ASCII codes < 32 into

for #0, Ctrl-B for #1, etc.
