* Welcome to EasyFold! *
****************************
WHAT IS EasyFold?
*****************
EasyFold is a simple-to-use folding editor. A "conventional editor with
folds" rather than a "folding editor".
If you don't use folds, EasyFold will operate as an ordinary editor.
If you don't already know what folds are, then you can get a
demonstration by editing "FOLD.HLP" and following the instructions.
Folds put into your files will appear as comments with the format
depending on the file extension. For example if the file ends in .BAS
(basic) the fold information will appear after REM statements. This means
that files edited with EasyFold will compile or run normally. Extensions
recognised by easy fold are, .C .CPP .BAS .PAS .ASM .TEX .BAT .PRO and
.MOD.
WHAT FEATURES DOES EasyFold HAVE?
*********************************
EasyFold has all the usual features you expect from an editor plus...

FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO HATE READING MANUALS!
******************************************
If you don't want to have to read many pages of documentation just to
find out that <PgDn> gets you on to the next page, please just read the
short file "QUICK.DOC" which contains a few important features that are
NOT on the menus and you will miss if you don't read the whole manual.
HOW TO RUN EasyFold
*******************
If you want to get started straight away, just read this section.
You can run EasyFold by typing "EF" followed by the name of the file you
wish to edit. For example if you want to edit "MYFILE.DOC", simply type:
EF MYFILE.TXT
and use F1 to access the menus. However, if you intend to explore the
folding aspects of EasyFold I recommend that you edit the file "FOLD.HLP"
that comes with the editor. This is not just a text file to read but an
interactive tutorial on folding.
In order to be able to use EasyFold from any directory you will need to
add the directory into which you installed EasyFold to the PATH statement
within AUTOEXEC.BAT.
