FastEdit allows you to edit files using a Borland-like interface. Features
include Undo, and Clipboard Copy and Paste plus much more. Includes Dialog
boxes to simplify file management. In some ways, it is better than
WordPerfect (TM) 5.0, yet it is under 100k.
It is most definitely better than the MS-DOS Editor, even the one that comes
with Windows '95! Of course, it stomps out EDLIN!
You can specify the filename to edit on the command line:
FASTEDIT filename.ext
[ALT]+[X] will exit FastEdit.
On line help for keys is available by [F1]
NOTE: No more CNF file is needed! You may delete it.
Consult TTWLICEN.EXE for licensing / distribution policies.
* WordPerfect is a registered trademark of WordPerfect Corp.
[Note: Although not specified, ALT-BKSP is the Undo Shortcut key]
Keys are also specified by navigating through the menus.
PRINTING
-=-=-=-=
To print from within FASTEDIT, choose Save from the file menu and enter either
PRN, LPT1, or LPT2. Usually PRN will do the trick.
NOTE: The FASTEDIT.CNF file is no longer needed.
REGISTRATION
-=-=-=-=-=-=
Registration will get you FastEdit Pro with DOS shell AND Calculator AND Video
Mode Changing Features (allows you to edit in 43/50 line mode) AND Calendar
(New!) AND SpellCheck Support (and instructions).
In addition, you will get all enhancements FREE for the lifetime of the product
(per license) and receive periodic updates of TTW products on disk.
- FastEdit Simplified (contains no formatting features, for XT/286s)...$8 U.S.
(considerably inferior) New!

- Printed Manual for FastEdit (all versionss)..............$5 U.S.
Network license - Contact TTW for a great price (less than $4/user)!
For reading this, here's the secret option: if you call FastEdit with filename
as the first parameter and the option (afterward): /CONVERT, FastEdit will do
a conversion to standard text files. This is useful for Internet formatted
files without proper linefeed sequences. Using Internet editors like VI will
cause the file to be read improperly by FastEdit because of the fact that
a "real" linefeed is the linefeed symbol and the carriage return, not just
the linefeed symbol. So if you do a type filename, and you see the lines
irregularly spaced, that means that it doesn't use the standard linefeed.
This option WILL create a BAK file.
Just a word here: It is your duty to register. These extra features require
more memory and are just a bonus incentive to help you do the right thing.
The manual will be useful as you discover advanced features such as indent.
But, either way your registration will mean a lot to us.
To register or order, run REGISTER.
INNOVATIONS
=-=-=-=-=-=
4.5 = Now has graphical mouse to ease the transition to Windows (j/k).
4.3 = Optimized the code by reducing the dynamic pointer allocation.
4.2 = Added secret option (read above) to handle Internet-formatted files.
4.1 = Added FastHelp system and updated hints for accuracy. Removed excess
code. Totally improved! Interface is neater.
4.0 = Totally new features including WordWrap. More to come! Retrieve Bug
will be fixed, as well as print bug. Now is the time to register!
3.4 = Added Save All option in file menu. Changed File Menu item names and
added separate Save and Save As.
3.3 = Added external Spell Check support. If Spell Check is invoked then
FastEdit will halt with an errorlevel of 104. But this is only for
registered users. (In addition, they will also receive detailed
instructions on making a spell checker such as Grammatik integrate
with FastEdit. Added [■] in the menu to exit faster (like Windows).
3.2 = Changed default to non-moving background. Magically shrunk size to
70k!
3.0 = Added calendar/show clipboard routine. Fixed memory halting problems.
Now uses extended memory to load larger files, up to about 80k depending
on your configuration. As a result, sometimes will halt if too many
files in a directory. Also added idle rotating slashes for fun.
can be disabled with the Tools option.
2.5 = Various cosmetic improvements
2.2 = Added option /CLEAR so that FastEdit will not load all the windows you
had open when you ALT-X to exit. (e.g., in QmodemPro or calling from
another application, use /CLEAR as a parameter)
2.1 = Fixed bug where if CNF file is in PATH, then would save a new CNF file in
the directory it was called. Now will save the CNF file in PATH if in
PATH.
2.0 = Added Video Mode changing feature and On-Line Help. Changed a OK to OKAY
since it is more user-friendly :). Added more Hotkeys to access features
and expanded menus to show hotkeys. More is on the way, the 12 dollar
price won't last long! Added CNF file to hold NEW! color configuration.
Much more internal optimizing. Cooler Colors!
