- IMPORTANT NOTES:
- ================
- 1)
- We no longer distribute the ShareSpell spelling checker with Vision
- Edit in order to keep the size of our distribution file to minimum.
- You can find ShareSpell or another spelling checker in most BBSes and
- shareware archives.
-
- 2)
- If you used any of the older versions of Vision Edit (< 3.5), make
- sure you have removed ved.opt, all ved.dsk, and all *.cmd files. The
- new options and desktop files are not compatible with the old ones. If
- you do not remove the old ved.opt and ved.dsk warning messages will be
- displayed: "Error reading Options file." and "Error reading Desktop
- file.".
-
- 3)
- We recommend that you add Vision Edit directory to the PATH statement
- in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file e.g.: PATH=C:\DOS;C:\VED;
-
- 4)
- For a better performance we recommend that you install expanded memory
- and a disk cache software if possible.
-
- 5)
- Beginning with version 3.5 we introduce educational package which may
- be ordered by educational institutions only (e.g. Universities). For
- details see REGISTER.DOC.
-
- 6) Only for owners of Northgate Omnikey keyboard
- The owners of a Northgate Omnikey keyboard may experience problems
- with some special keys e.g. arrow keys. We include MSOMNI.EXE utility
- that fixes that problem. If you want do use it start Vision Edit as
- VED_OMNI (there is a batch file VED_OMNI.BAT) instead of VED.
-
-
- VGA Installation Procedure
- ==========================
- If you have a VGA graphics card that supports other screen modes than
- the standard ones (e.g. 132 columns) Vision Edit is capable of using
- those screen modes. However, before other screen modes can be used,
- you have to install them by following the procedure described below:
-
- 1) - If you have one of the following graphic cards:
- ERGO-VGA, SPEEDSTAR, or TRIDENT go to step 3.
- - If your VGA card manual lists all supported text modes
- go to step 2.
- - Otherwise, run TESTMODE.EXE (provided with Vision Edit) and write
- down all useful text modes from 0 to 255. For each mode which you
- want to use in Vision Edit write down: mode number, number of
- lines, and number of columns later required by MAKEDRV.EXE
- program. TESTMODE.EXE displays all the necessary information
- (mode number and number of columns is already displayed), to
- count the number of lines use down arrow key and go to the bottom
- of the screen, the last number when cursor is still displayed
- defines the number of lines).
-
- 2) - Run MAKEDRV.EXE program (provided with Vision Edit)
- - Create a new driver for your card by selecting Driver|New menu
- function. (Enter the name of the new driver - MYDRIVER.DRV and
- press Enter )
-
- - New entry dialog box is displayed. To navigate a cursor use "Tab"
- key or a mouse.
- - Enter a Name; press "Tab" key
- - Enter a Version character; press "Tab" key
- - now to add, edit or delete modes press "Ins", "Enter", or
- "Delete" key respectively ( read status line )
- - press "Ins" : dialog box for entering mode information
- is dispalayed (enter - the NAME for a mode press "Tab"
- - the MODE number press "Tab"
- - the number of COLUMNS press "Tab'
- - the number of LINES press "Enter"
- this procedure repeat so many times as the number of modes
- identified in step 1
- - exit the program
-
- 3) Copy a created (or selected) driver (*.DRV) to Vision Edit home
- directory and rename it to STANDARD.DRV.
-
- 4) Start Vision Edit and select "Options" item from Menu Bar. Select
