Installing AE for DOS

 1)  Copy AE.EXE to somewhere on the path.
 2)  Copy AE.INI to the same directory as AE.EXE.
 3)  Optionally copy AE.TXT to wherever you keep documentation.
 4)  Optionally copy AE.NG to your Norton Guides directory.
 5)  Check that COMSPEC in CONFIG.SYS points to COMMAND.COM
     or some other command processor.
 6)  Check that FILES=10 or above in your CONFIG.SYS.
 7)  Print the file AE.INI, and use it as a quick reference card.

 Step 2 ensures AE can find its initialisation file. It looks in the
 same directory as the executable is found.

 Step 5 ensures 'shelling out' to DOS will work as AE uses system() to
 call up other programs.

 Installing AE for OS/2

 1)  Copy AE2.EXE to somewhere on the path.
 2)  Copy AE2.INI to the same directory as AE2.EXE.
 3)  Optionally copy AE2.ICO to the same directory as AE2.EXE.
 4)  Optionally copy AE.TXT to wherever you keep documentation.
 5)  Check that COMSPEC in CONFIG.SYS points to CMD.EXE
     or some other command processor.
 6)  Optionally add AE to the 'Start Programs' or a 'Program Group' menu.
     The working directory should be the directory where AE2.INI can
     be found. The parameters are best set to '-t'.
 7)  Print the file AE2.INI, and use it as a quick reference card.

 Step 2 ensures AE2 can find its initialisation file. It looks along the
 PATH environment variable to find it.

 Step 3 allows AE2 to have a cute icon when executed from the 'Start
 Programs' menu, under OS/2 1.2 and later.

 Step 5 ensures 'shelling out' to OS/2 will work as AE2 uses system() to
 call up other programs.

 Testing the installation

 All you need to know to start using AE is the following :-

      ^X        Means Ctrl-X
      ~X        Means Shift-X
      .X        Means Alt-X

 And when the default (unmodified) configuration is used :-

      Arrows    Move around the current fold
      F3        Enters a fold
      F4        Exits a fold
      .X        Exits the editor

 Simply go to the directory with AE in it and type :-

      ae ae.txt
