SEPTEMBER 1994 From the makers of QEdit, Announcing: "The SemWare Editor" (TSE) v2.0. If you liked SemWare's QEdit, you'll Love TSE v2.0! TSE v2.0 will be shipping SOON! During the next 6-8 weeks, we will be busy shipping TSE v2.0 to all TSE pre-release v1.0 users. NEW orders can be placed for TSE v2.0 for shipment within the next 8-10 weeks. For NEW orders, no money will be deposited until shipment occurs. Shipment of NEW orders will take place AFTER shipments to TSE pre-release v1.0 users have been made. The SemWare Editor 1.0 Pre-Release (introduced early last year) received very high praise from our users. Along with the praise and the positive response came requests for many additional features for the editor. We started working on adding as many of these features reasonably possible. Soon, we began to realize that we had exceeded our original goals for the "final" release of TSE 1.0. We surpassed these goals so far that we decided that TSE 1.0 had really become TSE 2.0. So, instead of turning back, we decided to ship TSE 2.0 in place of the 1.0 Final Release. We are sure that you will be very pleased with all of the new features in TSE 2.0, including: - Integrated SPELL CHECK to help proof your documents and/or source code. - Full Context-sensitive HYPERTEXT HELP. - Integrated program compiling via the MULTI-LANGUAGE COMPILE MACRO. - The new HEX EDITING MODE. - Template/Abbreviation expansions. - Increased Virtual Memory space: up to 64 megs! Longer maximum line lengths: up to 2032 characters! - Directories sorted to top of PickLists - All prompts now feature POP-UP HISTORY BOXES - Automatic Startup Macro (TSESTART) for modifying your working environment! - New menu: POTPOURRI for quick access to add-on macros. - New SAL Hooks: _IDLE_, _AFTER_UPDATEDISPLAY_, _AFTER_COMMAND_ (and more!) - Use the new FIND AND DO menu item to delete lines from a file, cut or copy lines to the clipboard, or count the number of occurrences of a string in a file. - Change the current directory by using the file PickList. - TSEPath can include multiple paths! - PickList on PurgeMacro() - Left/Right Adjust macro - And many more new features! Created by the same folks who brought you QEdit, TSE builds on QEdit's ease-of-use and configurability. And if you look under the hood, you'll find an editor with unsurpassed power and flexibility! For starters, TSE breaks the DOS memory barrier by allowing you to use available EMS and XMS memory (or even extra hard disk space) when DOS memory is exhausted. And then, for the ultimate in flexibility, we have added a powerful new macro programming language, making the editor more flexible and extendable than ever! Other additions include: * Menu-driven configuration. Configure more options, easily! * Multiple VERTICAL AND HORIZONTAL WINDOWS for viewing files. * BOOKMARKS. * FULLY-INTEGRATED MOUSE SUPPORT, that is fully configurable! * ENHANCED PRINTING OPTIONS including header and footer lines, page numbering, line numbering, assignment of the print device, adjustable line spacing, and more. * IMPROVED TAB HANDLING including fixed and variable tabs and support for hard tabs. * REGULAR EXPRESSION (wildcard type) SEARCHES. * With all these extras and more, The SemWare Editor actually performs most operations faster than QEdit. Here's how The SemWare Editor will make YOU more productive: * Uses an incredibly fast, VIRTUAL MEMORY MANAGER, allowing you to edit up to 64 megabytes of files, using any combination of XMS, EMS or hard disk space. * Provides a POWERFUL NEW PROGRAMMABLE MACRO LANGUAGE making the editor more flexible and extendible than ever. * Gives you SPEED, SPEED, SPEED! The SemWare Editor offers even better performance than QEdit and extends that performance to megabyte-size files. * Allows you to CONFIGURE MORE OPTIONS, MORE EASILY. Now you can configure most options from the pull-down menus. You can even change the menus too. * Provides VERTICAL AND HORIZONTAL WINDOWS to view and edit files. * Lets you PLACE BOOKMARKS in your file(s) to instantly return to marked positions as needed. * Provides FULL MOUSE SUPPORT allowing the mouse to be used for block, window, scrolling, and menu operations. And it's even configurable. * Increases your search and replace capabilities by recognizing REGULAR EXPRESSIONS, offering INCREMENTAL search, and allowing you to list those lines containing a selected text string. * And much much more!
