WELCOME TO WinEdit! This disk contains WinEdit version 2.0N, and several associated utilities and files. WinEdit is a fast and powerful ASCII/ANSI text editor. It is available in three different levels of functionality: 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 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 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 2.0 is a major update from previous versions. It is a "free for the download" update for previously registered users. Users who registered WinEdit prior to the 2.0 version are automatically registered at the WinEdit "Professional" level. Users who wish to use WinEdit at the "Professional" level may find that since the documentation for the WIL based macro script language is quite extensive (about 225 pages), they may desire a printed manual. We will be making an optional disk/manual package available to previously registered users at a reasonable price. Notification postcards will be sent to the last known addresses of registered users during February 1993. The postcards will inform users of the availablity of WinEdit 2.0, and offer them the chance to purchase the disk/manual set for $20. If you are a registered users and did not receive an update letter by March 15, 1993, then somehow we missed you. Call (800)-762-8383 and get it straightened out (or call anyway if you wish to jump the gun and purchase the disk/manual package immediately). 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.
