                           FIND ONE THAT HASN'T BEEN, OR FIND A FUNCTION
                           TO BE "BOGUS" PLEASE LET US KNOW, SO THAT WE
                           CAN MAKE APPROPRIATE CHANGES ON FUTURE VERSIONS
                           OF "V-EDIT."

OUT OF STRING SPACE ERROR: WAS TRAPPED BUT, THE FOLLOWING PROGRAM INSTRUCTION
                           TELLS THE PROGRAM TO DUMP ALL MEMORY AND END. 
                           SO DON'T TRY TO LOAD TONS OF ASCII BYTES, USE
                           V-EDIT AS A SCREEN EDITOR, USE YOUR DOS EDITOR
                           AS AN ASCII EDITOR.


BUZZ, BEEPS, CHIRPS             ATTENTION SIGNALS, SEE "V-EDIT" COMMAND HELP


CHANGES IN VEDIT, CURSOR MOVEMENTS WERE ADDED TO THE DIAGONAL DRAW COMMAND, 
AS WELL A COUPLE OF OTHER FEATURES, LISTED IN THE HELP SCREEN THROUGH VEDIT,
"F1" IN THE EDITOR.


INTERMISSION:

WHEN "V-EDIT" EXITS IT CONVERTS ALL INTERNAL DATA FROM THE SYSTEM FORMAT TO
ANSI FORMAT, BY READING ALL THE SCREENS ONTO THE DOS WINDOW. THE LAST BLOCK
SCREEN IS SAVED AS "PASTE.DAT," THE CURRENT DRAWING WITH ALL OF ITS PAGES
AS WELL AS THE CURRENT SCREEN, UNDO DATA, AND THE BLOCK DATA ARE SAVED TO
A FILE NAMED "MFMTA.DAT," THEN THE CURRENT DRAWING IS CONVERTED TO VBBS AND
PCB FORMATS RESPECTIVELY.  THE FILE "NEXT.DAT" IS UPDATED AND RESAVED. THEN
"FCON.EXE" IS CALLED.


"SQZANSI" IS NOW "SQZ" A STAND ALONE CONVERTER, V-EDIT 1.2 NOW USES THE
CONVERSION ENGINE OF SQZ, THEREBY ELIMINATING THE NEED FOR ANOTHER CHAIN.
V-EDIT NOW PRODUCES THE SMALLEST ANSI OUTPUT FILES AVAILABLE FROM ANY EDITOR.
"SQZ" INCLUDES A FEATURE CALLED "HYPER-SHRINK" WHICH WILL DECREASE ANSI FILES
UP TO AN ADDITIONAL 20 % MORE.


WHEN "FCON.EXE" OPENS A FILE, THE ARRAY THAT'S STORING THE CURRENT DRAWING
IS REDIMMED THEREFORE ERASING THE CURRENT DRAWING FROM MEMORY. THE NEW FILE
IS READ ONTO THE DOS WINDOW AND CONVERTED BACK TO SYSTEM FORMAT CODE.

IS THERE AN EASIER WAY?...PROBABLY BUT IT'S THIS WAY FOR NOW!
VERSION 2.0 ?  YES, EARLY 1994.....     BIGGER BUT FASTER CODE

YOU'LL GET A 50% DISCOUNT ON VERSION 2.0.

VBBS.TMP        CURRENT DRAWING IN VBBS FORMAT
VBBS.BAK        A "RE-EDITABLE" COPY SAVED IN FULL 24 LINES

        WE, JUST WEREN'T HAPPY ABOUT BEING, ONLY AN AVERAGE OF 14 BYTES 
        SMALLER, PER FILE, AS COMPARED TO THE NEXT BEST SCREEN EDITOR 
        FOR "PCB FILES" .... SO WE EXPANDED OUR DISTANCE TO AN AVERAGE
        OF 77 BYTES.  BECAUSE OF THAT WE HAD TO GIVE THE USER A WAY TO
        RE-EDIT DRAWINGS THAT MIGHT NOT LOAD PROPERELY USING THE ".TMP"
        FILES.   IF YOU WISH TO EVER "RE-EDIT" A DRAWING, BEFORE EXITING
        FCON, RENAME THE "PCB.BAK" OR "VBBS.BAK" FILE TO SOMETHING ELSE,
        AS IT WILL BE OVERWRITTEN THE NEXT TIME THROUGH.
        
PASTE.TMP       LAST BLOCKED OBJECT SAVED IN ANSI FORMAT TO FULL SCREEN, 24
                LINES. YOU CAN RENAME THIS FILE AND KEEP AS CLIP ART, IF YOU
                APPEND IT TO A NEW DRAWING FILE, AND USE PAGE COMMANDS YOU
                CAN THEN MANIPULATE IT.

SHOULD YOU LOSE THIS FILE OR WISH TO MANIPULATE "FCON" TO START UP WITHOUT
GOING TO "V-EDIT" FIRST YOU MAY EDIT OR CREATE THIS FILE IN ANY ASCII EDITOR.

IF LINE# 1 OF "NEXT.DAT" READS "NEWDRAW" ATTEMPTING TO START "FCON.EXE" WILL
ONLY RESULT IN STARTING "VEDIT.EXE" FIRST. USE "DREW."

POINT OF INTEREST:  USING DOS SET COMMANDS, RELOCATING "V.BAT," OR STARTING
                    "V-EDIT" FROM AN ALTERNATIVE DIRECTORY WILL SET "FCON"
                    TO BE THERE.

MUSTS:  YOU MUST INSTALL OR COPY ALL "V-EDIT" FILES TO A ROOT DIRECTORY
        CALL N:\VED, WHERE N IS A VALID HARD DRIVE LETTER.  ALL FILES
        LOAD AND SAVE TO FILES IN [ DRIVE LETTER + "\VED" ]; IF NOT NOTHING
        WILL WORK.

COULDN'T YOU HAVE ADDED...?   NO  WAIT 'TIL VERSION 2.0 OR WRITE IT YOURSELF!

"ANSI"          THE ENTITY THAT CALLS YOU "DUDE,"  HE IS UNBIASED TO GENDER
                SO DON'T BE OFFENDED....HE DISDAINS ALL HUMANS EQUALLY.
                HE RESIDES IN OUR SERVER AT FULL MOTION NET (tm) AND EVEN
                HAS HIS OWN LAB! HE OFTEN LIKES TO REEK HAVOC WITH OUR EISA
                MACHINES....MAYBE YOU'VE SEEN HIM TOO?

WHO WROTE THIS PROGRAM?         ....AN OLD ARROGANT WIZARD AND SOME MUTANTS.
WHAT'S TODAY?                   6/2/93
