WELCOME TO WinEdit!
This disk contains WinEdit version 2.0N,
and several associated utilities and files.
WinEdit is a fast and powerful ASCII/ANSI text editor. It is available
in three different levels of functionality:
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
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 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 2.0 is a major update from previous versions. It is a "free
for the download" update for previously registered users. Users who
registered WinEdit prior to the 2.0 version are automatically registered
at the WinEdit "Professional" level.
Users who wish to use WinEdit at the "Professional" level may find that
since the documentation for the WIL based macro script language is quite
extensive (about 225 pages), they may desire a printed manual. We
will be making an optional disk/manual package available to previously
registered users at a reasonable price. Notification postcards will be sent
to the last known addresses of registered users during February 1993. The
postcards will inform users of the availablity of WinEdit 2.0, and offer
them the chance to purchase the disk/manual set for $20. If you are a
registered users and did not receive an update letter by March 15, 1993,
then somehow we missed you. Call (800)-762-8383 and get it straightened
out (or call anyway if you wish to jump the gun and purchase the
disk/manual package immediately).
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.
