AE is a text editor for MS-DOS compatibles, written in Turbo
Pascal. 

1. Conditions of use
--------------------

The package is Freeware. This means that I retain the copyright,
but you may copy and use the software under the following
conditions:

* You may make copies of the program for your own use or to give
  them away. Copies given to other persons should be accompanied
  by this notice, the manual file and the full original source
  code.

* No money whatsoever is to be charged for copies of the program
  or for any part of it.

* Use of the software is at your own risk.

* You may modify the source code to fix bugs or to adapt it to
  your own needs. However, you should clearly indicate where and
  how you have changed the source code, and give the program a
  new sub-version number. Better still, if you think that the
  changes are real improvements, please send them to the address
  below, so that I can incorporate them in the next version of AE.


2. Installation
---------------

Installing AE consists of simply copying the program AE.EXE to
your harddisc or floppy disc. It requires MS-DOS version 2.0 or
higher, and a minimum of 140 kilobytes of free memory.

The full AE package contains the following files:

README.TXT          This notice
AE.EXE              The compiled program
AEMANUAL.TXT        User's manual
CHANGES.TXT         List of changes from version 1.4
AE.PAS              Source code of the main program
AE0.PAS .. AE5.PAS  Source code of the units
SPLIT.EXE           Utility to split large files
SPLIT.PAS           Source code of same
MERGE.EXE           Utility to merge files
MERGE.PAS           Source code of same

If you suspect the program of being infected by a virus (or by a
nasty programmer) you can recompile it. It can be compiled with
Turbo Pascal version 5.0 or later.

Please note: Besides the main program AE.PAS and the units AE0.
PAS trough AE5.PAS, you will also need the file TCMVSMEM.OBJ to
recompile the program. This is an object code file containing two
screen routines. It is part of TurboCalc, one of the examples
delivered with every copy of Turbo Pascal. It is not included in
the AE package because Borland holds the copyright.
