- ARIS EDIT LITE is a general purpose text editor. It provides a fast
- multi-window and multi-file editing environment for programmers as
- well as non-programmers. Please note that this is a subset of
- ARIS EDIT 3.1, a full grown programmer's editor with AWK macro
- language, keyboard recorder, compiler interface, make utility,
- keyboard mapping and much much more. For more information on this
- editor simply send me a note and I'll send you some information and
- a demo version.
- The idea of creating ARIS EDIT LITE was to build a powerful and fast
- multi-file editor that consists only of one executable file, so it
- is easy to take along. Just for example, it is a perfect replacement
- for the DOS EDIT on every machine.

- most editing chores simple. The most noted features:

-
- Copy the "aelite.exe" file into a directory included in your "PATH".
- Set the TMP environment variable to a disk or directory where
- ARIS EDIT LITE will have enough space for temporary files (virtual
- memory). That is all what you must do for the virtual memory, no
- other configuration is neccessary. However, an extended memory driver
- like HIMEM.SYS provides additional speed in switching between windows.
-
- Usage: aelite [file1] [file2] ... [file10] or
- aelite [wildcard expression]
-
- Executing "aelite.exe" without any arguments opens a file named
- NONAME with your favorite extension, if any.
-
- For help on commands use the Help menu within the editor.
-
- As most of the editor matches the so called CUA (Common User Access)
- and a mouse with a microsoft compatible driver works pretty well, you
- should not have any problem to get where you want.
-
- For additional speed set the environment variable TMP to a ramdrive
- with enough free space for ARIS EDIT LITE to work. The size depends
- on the size of the files you intend to work on. I.e. for editing a
- file of about 2 megs you will need about 2 megs of temporary
- diskspace. Now add some thousand bytes for storing undo information
- and here you go.
