- ===== Information for Users ("READ-ME") ================
-
- READ.EXE is a DOS program for reading and editing ASCII text files of
- virtually unlimited size. You can type READ FILENAME at the DOS prompt,
- or you can use the program's File Selection Menu. Huge files are handled
- by breaking them into segments.
-
- Features include cutting and pasting of text blocks, search and replace,
- selectable word wrap for long text lines and printer support. You can
- also redefine the text screen colors. The program is ideal for creating
- or editing any kind of ASCII text file, as well as viewing ASCII data
- sets created by computer simulations or data acquisition systems. See
- the ASCII file READ.DOC for a complete description of the program.
-
- Note: If the command line switch /r is included immediately after the
- file name, READ.EXE becomes a text reader (with the editing features
- disabled except for F3 search and F7 print). The program's header line
- then shows the word "HELP" instead of "READ <x.x>." This makes it
- possible for programmers to call READ.EXE as a help file viewer from
- their applications. There is no charge (beyond registration) for dis-
- tributing READ in this way (as long as the files READ.DOC and READ.TXT
- are included).
