║ Unregistered version of EDA ║
╚═══════════════════════════════╝
==============================================================================
EDA is editor intended for large ASCII files with several functions, which
are not commonly available in other editors. These functions are:
■ block-based editing
■ block-based calculations with columns or rows of numbers (similar to
spreadsheet calculations)
■ rows <-> columns transformations
■ operations with matrixes of numbers
■ statistical functions for columns (rows) of numbers
■ sorting inside of the block
■ information searching using logical terms
■ repeating ("infinite") macros
■ fast number/text filling into predefined positions
■ fast number columns (number rows) entering
■ transferring frequently used words from cache buffer into typed text
■ export ASCII format into DBF format
■ manual-style on-line detailed help with examples
EDA can in many cases rapidly speed up data entering and text typing. EDA
was tested for several years by tens of people and it's functions were
modified according to their suggestions.
EDA is written in BORLAND Pascal. Version compiled for DOS real mode
(EDAR.EXE) can handle files up to 500KB. If, for example, your computer has
8MB RAM, DOS protected version of EDA (EDAP.EXE) can handle files up to
7MB.
Version for OS/2 (EDA2.EXE) is compiled by Virtual Pascal (fPRINT UK Limi-
ted). Due to swapping capability of operating system OS/2, maximal file si-
ze is limited only by free disk space.
In this unregistered version, maximal number of row, which can be handled
by EDA is limited to 1024 and maximal number of characters per row is limi-
ted to 512. In the registered version, these limitations are 32000 rows
and 24000 characters per row.
If you want to see some of EDA's features, run DEMO.BAT at DOS (or at DOS
full screen under OS/2).

Installation
^^^^^^^^^^^^
To install EDA, follow these steps:
■ create convenient directory (for example C:\EDA)
■ copy archive file (EDA96.ARJ or EDA96.ZIP) to this directory
■ unpack archive file
■ modify PATH statement in AUTOEXEC.BAT (in CONFIG.SYS for OS/2),
for example PATH ...;C:\EDA;...
■ restart your computer
