Five ready to use programs or "macros" are supplied with VEDIT and VEDIT PLUS.
These macros can be set up to automatically execute when the editor is
invoked.  This allows someone without any knowledge of VEDIT to use these or
custom macros.

*   Integrated Compiler Support.  This menu driven macro runs popular compilers
    assemblers, linkers, debuggers and Make programs from within VEDIT.  See
    the "List Main Features" topic for more information.

*   WILDFILE macro.  This very useful macro lets you perform a search, search
    and replace, or run another macro on an entire group of files.  The group
    of files may be specified using the wildcards "?" and "*".  (WILDFILE
    performs a superset of the UNIX "grep" command.)

*   File comparison macro.  Displays the differences between two files on the
    screen and lets you merge/edit them in any way desired.  After displaying
    a difference the macro can re-align the files and then continue looking
    for further differences.  For example, after finding where revisions were
    made, you can copy blocks of text from one file to the other.

*   Mailing list sort macro.  Sorts a typical list of mailing addresses into
    alphabetical order.

*   Print formatting macro.  This extends VEDIT and VEDIT PLUS's printing 
    capabilities by printing files with a header and page number on each page.  
    Containing only a dozen commands, it also serves as a simple example of a 
    useful macro.  It can be readily extended for fancier print formatting.

VEDIT and VEDIT PLUS come with two libraries of additional macros.  The
"Command Macros" can be loaded from disk and executed at any time.  The
"Keystroke Macros" can be built into the editor and assigned to a "hot key".
These libraries are constantly being expanded.

*   Command Macro library.  Includes box drawing, splitting/merging very
    large files, converting tabs to spaces and editing keystroke macros.

*   Keystroke Macro library.  Includes selecting window color from a color 
    chart, duplicating characters and lines, moving the cursor by sentence, 
    listing lines containing a text string, transposing characters, counting 
    words and much more.

*   Mail Merge.  You can create, update and maintain files of mailing
    addresses.  The mailing addresses can then be merged into a form letter
    and printed one after another.  The form letter may be created with VEDIT
    alone, or with V-PRINT.  Available as an option for $20.

*   8080/Z80 to 8086 Translator.  Translates 8080 or Z80 (Intel mnemonics)
    assembly language source code into 8086 assembly language.  Can be used as
    is or as a model for other assembly language translators.  Available as an
    option for $50.

The macros are ready for immediate use and are self prompting.  Anyone can 
use them without knowing much else about VEDIT.  Since they are supplied in 
"Source Code", they also serve as elaborate examples of VEDIT PLUS macro 
programming.  And you can modify them to suit your personal needs.
