- WinEd is a shareware template editor. Please see the documentation for
- conditions of use.
-
- Important: If you are upgrading from version 2.20 or earlier, delete the
- WinEdReg application. Registration is now handled from WinEd's banner.
-
- From version 2.52 Choices are stored in a Risc PC's boot structure in
- preference to WinEd's own directory.
-
- A couple of important new features were introduced in version 2.45:
-
- There is an option (off by default) to allow selections to be moved with
- the cursor keys without holding the mouse button.
-
- It now uses dynamic areas on a Risc PC. The maximum size is set in the
- !Run file and can be edited if necessary. Virtualise is not specifically
- supported; templates aren't usually that big! The main aim of dynamic
- areas in WinEd is to prevent memory used for editing files from imposing a
- limit on general workspace, whose requirements can not be accurately
- predicted.
-
- Documentation is provided in two forms: a plain text !Help file within the
- !WinEd directory, and a file ("Manual") suitable for Impression Style or
- Publisher. The latter contains the same text as the help file, but nicely
- formatted; it is set up to print two A5 pages per A4 page.
-
- In future the manuals will not be updated with every single bug fix,
- only when there is a significant change in functionality. The History
- file should be adequate for pointing out any minor changes.
-
- Note about keyboard short cuts:
- The short cut for Delete is ^K. ^X, Delete and <-| (Backspace) are no longer
- supported; they are reserved for applications that use Cut & Paste. The short
- cut for Work area... (open Edit work area dialogue) was originally ^K, so
- has had to be changed to ^O.
- I haven't bothered to document keyboard short cuts, no one would learn them
- all by heart from reading, you just gradually pick them up from the menus.
-
- Note about BorderUtils & NewLook:
- BorderUtils is a module to fix a bug in RISC OS 3.1. WinEd, like any
- application with 3D slabbing icons, needs it. It comes with NewLook and as a
- stand-alone from good PD libraries. WinEd was also designed with sprites from
- NewLook in mind, some of the old ones look awful now.
