TECHNICAL NOTES:
1. QColor is for use on the following versions of QEdit:
- shareware version of 2.07
- registered version of 2.07
- shareware version of 2.07A
- registered version of 2.07A
**** DO NOT USE QCOLOR.EXE ON ANY OTHER VERSION ***
2. You must be in the directory that contains your copy
of Q.EXE.
If you have downloaded (or otherwise acquired) this program, then
you are already aware of QEdit. Congratulations on your excellent
choice of editors. As you know (or are about to learn), QEdit is the
best PC editor available. Keep this in mind if you have not
registered your copy of QEdit. Registration is easy and well worth
it. Besides it being the right thing to do, the printed manual that
may be purchased for an additional $10 is incredible. Get the
manual if you register.
QColor is a program that allows you to easily modify the color
settings of QEdit 2.07A. Upon invocation, QColor will read the
current color settings of your Q.EXE file. After QColor is "up and
running", the version of QEdit that it is working on will be
displayed (lower portion of the screen). If the version reads
"unknown version - ABORT NOW!!"
then choose the "Exit/Save changes" option. Choose "N" to exit.
The current settings of your Q.EXE will then be displayed in a
window on the right (the "user-window"). Items available for color
change are displayed in a window on the left. NOTE: Items preceded
with a "*" are currently unavailable for setting in QColor. A future
release of QColor will address these items.
Press the up-arrow or down-arrow to select the desired item to
change. After the item is high-lighted, press RETURN to select it.
You will then be asked to choose Foreground or Background color
modification.
The user will then be presented with a list of available colors.
As the high-light is moved (with up-arrow or down-arrow), the
appropriate color will be displayed in the user-window (the window to
the right). Press RETURN to select the currently high-lighted color.
NOTE: Pressing ESC will "back" the user out of the current window to
the previous window.
After all color changes have been made, choose the "Exit/save
changes" option. Enter "Y" to save the changes made, or "N" to abort
the changes made.
