- Thank you for ordering the shareware version of AM-EDIT. I trust that
- you will find it to be the fastest and most powerful full-screen text
- editor that you have ever used.
-
- The following files are located on the diskette:
-
-
- * AMEDIT.EXE The AM-EDIT program. This is the ONLY program
- needed to run the system. There are no overlays
- or external programs needed for setting colors
- and other parameters. Everything you need is in
- this one program, which is under 40K in size.
-
- * AMEDIT.DOC This is the 50-page reference manual. A printed
- and bound manual will be mailed to you if you
- decide to register.
-
- * README.DOC This document file
-
- * HISTORY.DOC A file containing the history of AM-EDIT.
-
- * REGISTER.DOC A form for registering your copy of AM-EDIT.
-
- * VENDOR.DOC A file containing information for the Shareware
- vendors.
-
-
- Your Shareware vendor may not have included the file VENDOR.DOC on
- the diskette, and may have added an installation batch file.
-
- AM-EDIT will run on any IBM PC (or compatible) having at least 128k
- of memory, a hard disk drive, a floppy drive, and DOS version 2.0
- (or any later version).
-
- To install the system, copy the files from the diskette onto your
- hard disk drive using the following DOS command:
-
- copy a:*.* OR copy b:*.*
-
- If you create a new directory for AM-EDIT, you may want to alter
- your AUTOEXEC.BAT file to include the new directory in the PATH
- command to make it easier to execute from any directory.
-
- To execute AM-EDIT, enter "amedit" on the DOS command line and
- press the ENTER key. If you prefer, you can enter the name of the
- file that you wish to edit after the command, for example:
-
- amedit yourfile.doc <enter>
-
- You will want to list the reference manual (file AMEDIT.DOC) on
- your printer, but it is not entirely necessary. You can browse
- through the manual by using the DOS TYPE command.
-
- After you have read through the manual once, you may never need
- to consult it again. This is because AM-EDIT provides extensive
- on-screen help, which is initiated by pressing function key F1.
-
- If you find AM-EDIT useful for your needs and you continue to use
- it after a reasonable trial period, please register your copy. I
- can not stay in business without your support. File REGISTER.DOC
- consists of a form to use for registering.
-
- AM-EDIT is a fairly new product, having been in development for 23
- months. For the past 17 months, I have used AM-EDIT as the editor
- for making enhancements to AM-EDIT itself, so you can be assured
- that the system is well tested and will not damage any of your files.
- The next version is already under development. Some of the enhance-
- ments planned for future versions are:
-
- * Faster load and save.
- * Expand of the Trace command.
- * Expand the calculator to handle binary and hex arithmetic.
- * Allow user to delete, rename, and save a file under a new name.
- * Add autosave, autoblank, and autobeep (time reminder) options.
-
- Any suggestions that you have are welcomed. Thank's again for trying
- AM-EDIT!
