COPYWRITER 

  Thanx for using CopyWriter!
    I am developing and maintaining CopyWriter just for fun. It's a basic 
    editor, build the way I like it. I hope people do recognize quality 
    behind basic looks. 
    CopyWriter is around for more then two years now, and still most time
    is spend finetuning the program. I've downloaded enormous amounts of
    other programs to find out what I do like and what not. The result is 
    CopyWriter. Not to much functions, but enough to complete a wide range 
    of tasks. 
    I wish to thank all the people who support me with suggestions, tips, 
    code and encouraging thank-you emails. Without these people CopyWriter
    wouldn't be what it is: the Swiss army knife off editors.
       
  More information
    Details about the program can be found in the documentation file, wich 
    can be reached by pressing Ctrl+F1. CopyWriter has a lot of functions
    that are not incorporated into the menu. To get an overview of this
    functions, press F1.
    
  Major changes since Version 2.02
    - Customize the Tools menu with CopyWriter utilities.
    - Optimized Word file open functions. 
    - Optimized Install and Uninstall functions.
