- /* readme - this is the readme file of the MLEPM package 950919 */
-
- MLEPM adds hooks, highlighting and various editing mode to EPM, in a way
- that makes it easy for users to incorporate into their own EPM setup. It
- is a customized version of EPM that users who don't want to recompile the
- macros can use directly.
-
- Enjoy!
-
- Release notes
- =============
-
- o This package is in beta, so, please, be indulgent :), and send
- me all your comments at the following address:
-
- lafaix@alto.unice.fr
-
- o This release of MLEPM has been tested with EPM v5.51 and 6.00c
- only. If you use another version, you may have to recompile
- the macros with the corresponding ETPM. Doing so should enable
- you to use MLEPM with v5.51, and probably with 5.60+.
-
- [Warp comes with 5.51a, and you can also get it from, say,
- software.watson.ibm.com, in directory pub/os2/epm...
-
- EPM v6.00c is available from ftp.leo.org, in directory
- pub/comp/os/os2/editors/epm6beta.zip]
-
- o Online help is included in MLEPM.INF.
-
- o See MLEPM.ABS for a description of all included files.
-
-
- Installation:
- =============
-
- [See MLEPM.INF for more information.]
-
- 1. Unpack this package.
-
- 2. Unpack EX.551 or EX.600, depending of your EPM's version.
-
- 2.bis Copy all .ex files somewhere along your EPMPATH.
-
- 3. Put MPOPUP.EXE somewhere along your PATH. Start MPOPUP.EXE
- (and put a Program Object refering to it in your startup
- folder)
-
- 4. Load epm and edit the styles.smp file. Customize the
- included styles (via the "Style" dialog, Ctrl+Y), if needed.
-
- [This step IS important!]
-
- 5. Enable the profile support, if not already done:
-
- Bring up the "command" dialog (Ctrl+I), Enter the following
- command: PROFILE ON. Save your options (Options/Save
- options)
-
- 6. Merge profile.smp with your profile.erx (if you were not
- using a profile.erx, just rename profile.smp to profile.erx,
- and put it somewhere along your EPMPATH).
-
- 7. Exit EPM, and restart it. Try loading a new C file, and
- play with it...
-
- That's all!
-
-
- Common troubles:
- ================
-
- No popmenus
- No on-the-fly highlighting...
-
- Is MPOPUP.EXE running ? If not, then start it! (It's YOUR
- responsability to start MPOPUP, so, if you're using MLEPM,
- putting a shadow of MPOPUP.EXE in your startup folder is
- highly recommended.)
-
- [If MPOPUP.EXE is running, there should be a MLPOPUP entry
- in the task-list.]
-
-
- Original FILE_ID.DIZ:
- =====================
-
- MLEPM is a package for use with EPM, the
- OS/2 Enhanced Editor. It works with both

- the-fly highlighting (with regular expr.),
- popup menus (for v5.51a) and editing modes
- for C/C++, REXX, E and some other languages.
- Source code, online documentation & compiled
- macros included.
