WELCOME TO WinEdit! This disk contains WinEdit version 3.0c, compiled for standard 16 bit Windows and several associated utilities and files. 32 bit versions of WinEdit for Windows NT on Intel, Dec Alpha, and MIPS platforms are also available. Only the Professional level is available for Windows NT machines. WinEdit is a fast and powerful ASCII/ANSI text editor. It is available in three different levels of functionality for Windows 3.1 and at the Professional level for Windows NT: WinEdit Lite Provides super fast editing of any size text file. Handy button bar for common operations. $29.95 WinEdit Standard Adds the ability to compile programs directly from WinEdit and view the output to fix errors. $59.95 WinEdit Pro Adds a complete macro scripting language to allow professional users to write their own WinEdit menus. $89.95 WinEdit 32 Pro Native 32-bit application for Windows NT on Intel, Dec Alpha, and MIPS platforms. Includes FREE copy of WinEdit Pro for Windows 3.1. $129.95 All three levels are contained within the same executable program, in both the evaluation and registered versions. By selecting "Lite", "Standard", or "Professional" from the "File ... Settings" menu, you enable all features at that level. When you register WinEdit, you will receive a registration number which will allow you to use WinEdit at the registration level you have selected, although you will still be able to use features belonging to a higher level on an evaluation basis. For example, if you register WinEdit at the Standard level, you would select "Standard" from the settings menu, so that only Standard-level functions will appear on the WinEdit menus, and everything would operate normally. If you decided to select "Professional" from the settings menu, additional functions would become available, but if you used one of those Pro-level functions you would first receive a message informing you that the feature you had selected is not included in the Standard level, and that you should upgrade to the higher level if you plan to continue using that function. You can upgrade to a higher level at any time; the cost is the difference in registration price between the level you are currently registered for and the level you are upgrading to, plus $5.00. SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS WinEdit requires an IBM PC or compatible with a minimum of 2 megabytes of RAM, a rodent, 1.5 MB of hard drive space and Microsoft Windows version 3.1 or higher. *** SPECIAL BONUS FOR REGISTERED USERS *** Registered users receive our new "Dialog Editor" which allows them to graphically construct dialog boxes, (a lot like the Visual Basic dialog editor), and other utilities to help make programming WinEdit macro scripts just a tad easier and faster. *** PREMIER SUPPORT NOW AVAILABLE *** A fee based extended support system is now available to assist corporate software engineering projects which require high technology assistance, custom Windows programming, or custom interfaces to suites of Windows applications. See the README2.TXT file for more information. *** LATE-BREAKING NEWS *** WinEdit 3.0 now includes the following new features: Syntax coloring of source code files. Fully configurable syntax coloring highlights keywords, quotes, and comments in C, C++, WIL, Basic, dBase, and DOS and NT batch files. Most any language can easily be added. Easy to use key reassignments. You can now reassign command hotkeys from an interactive dialog in WinEdit. Menus are automatically updated to reflect the new hotkeys. You can also define more than one hotkey for a command, such as and to delete a line. Improved compiler support Choosing a compiler from the Project dialog's dropdown combo box automatically configures WinEdit's error parsing logic for that compiler. Supports Microsoft, Zortech, Watcom, Borland C++, Turbo Pascal, Borland TASM, and Clipper. User-configurable for any other compiler. Improved macro recording In the Pro version, the Macro Recorder now records all commands as WIL scripts. When recording is concluded, the recorded script is loaded into a document window for easy editing. Pre-configured to automatically add the newly recorded script to the Macro Menu, or fine tune your macro with any of over 400 WIL and WinEdit macro functions. Other new features: Backup file creation, location, and name are configurable. Changed (unsaved) files indicated on screen. Improved support for read only files. Improved network support. Captured compiler output file location configurable. Regular expressions in search can be disabled. We have also corrected dozens of minor bugs that have been reported in earlier versions of WinEdit. WinEdit 3.0 is a major update from previous versions. Registered users of previous versions of WinEdit will receive information on our low-cost upgrade offer soon. PACKING LIST: Most files will end in a _ (underscore). Some of them have been compressed and will be expanded by the setup program, whileas the others are simply renamed. In any case, the setup program (WSETUP.EXE) should take care of moving the files around. README TXT This File README2 TXT ...continued... WSETUP EXE The Windows-based setup program.
