- Greetings!!!!!!!
-
- Thank you for your interest in the New York Text Editor. Actually,
- the real name of this program is ME (short for Macro Editor), but
- since many people are already familiar with my NEW YORK WORD word
- processor, I decided to give a familiar moniker to the shareware
- version of the editor.
-
- This editor is actually a commercial product. You can find ads for
- ME in issues of Dr. Dobb's Journal and Computer Languages. So what's
- it doing on the bulletin boards???
-
- In keeping with my philosophy of providing low-cost, powerful
- products to the computing community, I priced ME at $39.95. Even
- though ME has the power of the higher priced commercial editors, I
- feel that $150 is way too much to pay for a tool which is a necessity.
- Unfortunately, the price is also too low for most distributors to make
- money on.
-
- New York Word has already gathered a lot of interest from the good
- press in publications like PC Magazine, PC-SIG Magazine, FOGLIGHT,
- etc. People are already familiar with its power and flexible user
- interface. A "kissin' cousin" of New York Word for the programmer
- community would certainly be welcome in the shareware world. Hence, I
- decided to release this version of ME as shareware.
-
- The version of ME that you have is not crippled in any way. It's a
- fully working version of the commercial product. It comes with on-line
- documentation, help files, and several macros. (You can even save
- files with it!) So what's the catch?
-
- To registered users, I offer several utilities that can be used
- with the editor. First and foremost, registered users get the macro
- compiler. If you like the feel and the power of ME's macros, and you
- want to start writing your own, you will need the macro compiler.
- Second, I will send registered users a keyboard remapping program
- (with source code). This is helpful if you want to remap the
- keystrokes to be the same as your favorite editor/word processor.
- Third, registered users are entitled to receive update notices, phone
- support, etc.
-
- Most of the commercial users of ME have decided to go for the
- source code option. The source code is available for PERSONAL USE
- only. (We have other arrangements for corporate users, OEM's and
- VAR's). We hope that if you like the way ME operates, you will go for
- the source code option too.
-
- The prices for registered users are :
-
- ME executables, macro compiler $39.95
- $2.00 shipping U.S.
- $6.00 shipping overseas
-
- ME source code for personal use $94.95
- $2.00 shipping U.S.
- $6.00 shipping overseas
-
- New York Word word processor $44.95
- $2.00 shipping U.S.
- $6.00 shipping overseas
-
-
- As of 4/20/87, the phone number where you can reach me at is
-
- (201) 792 - 3954 after 9PM EST
-
- If you don't reach me, you can leave a message on the machine. If you
- let me call you collect, then I will promptly return your call.
-
- I log on to several bulletin boards regularly, so you can leave me
- messages at any one of these boards. The boards are :
