README.TXT for TextPad
======================

Thank you for choosing to evaluate TextPad 1.21.

TextPad now supports word-wrapped editing.  In this mode, the Join Lines
command has been enhanced to preserve paragraphs, marked by empty lines,
and a new Split Lines command breaks long lines where they are wrapped.
There is also a new command to insert page breaks.

MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS:

    TextPad is available in 16 and 32-bit editions.

    16-bit Edition:                       32-bit Edition:

           enhanced mode                         Windows 3.1 with Win32s

INSTALLATION:

    From a ZIP File:
        1) Unzip into a new temporary directory, with PKUNZIP 2.04g.
        2) Run SETUP.EXE using File Manager or Program Manager.
        3) Follow the on-screen instructions, but install into a
           different directory from that in step 1 above.
        4) Delete the files unzipped in step 1 above.

    From Floppy Disk:
        1) From Program Manager, choose the Run command from the
           File menu.
        2) Type "A:\SETUP" to run the TextPad setup program.
        3) Follow the on-screen instructions.

    You can install both editions into the same directory.
    There is no need to modify your search path.

    To enable TextPad's DDE capabilities, you can use REGEDIT to merge
    the corresponding TXTPAD16.REG or TXTPAD32.REG file (or double click
    the file with File Manager), but you must edit it first to give the
    correct path to the TextPad executable.  It assumes that your
    installation directory is C:\TEXTPAD.  See the online help for more
    information.

DRAG AND DROP EDITING:

    OLE2 drag and drop editing is only available to registered users.
    Local drag and drop editing is always available, but scrolling has
    not been implemented.  This means that you can drop text in the
    visible view, but you cannot scroll the view whilst dragging.

REGISTRATION:

    If you make use of TextPad you must register it.  Registered users
    will receive a copy of the latest releases of both the 16 and 32-bit
    editions, along with the Win32s and OLE2 files necessary for running
    in 32-bit mode on Windows 3.1.

    Click the "How to Purchase" button in the About dialog box, or see
    the file REGISTER.TXT for details.  

Enjoy using TextPad!
