WinEd is a shareware template editor. Please see the documentation for
conditions of use.
Important: If you are upgrading from version 2.20 or earlier, delete the
WinEdReg application. Registration is now handled from WinEd's banner.
From version 2.52 Choices are stored in a Risc PC's boot structure in
preference to WinEd's own directory.
A couple of important new features were introduced in version 2.45:
There is an option (off by default) to allow selections to be moved with
the cursor keys without holding the mouse button.
It now uses dynamic areas on a Risc PC. The maximum size is set in the
!Run file and can be edited if necessary. Virtualise is not specifically
supported; templates aren't usually that big! The main aim of dynamic
areas in WinEd is to prevent memory used for editing files from imposing a
limit on general workspace, whose requirements can not be accurately
predicted.
Documentation is provided in two forms: a plain text !Help file within the
!WinEd directory, and a file ("Manual") suitable for Impression Style or
Publisher. The latter contains the same text as the help file, but nicely
formatted; it is set up to print two A5 pages per A4 page.
In future the manuals will not be updated with every single bug fix,
only when there is a significant change in functionality. The History
file should be adequate for pointing out any minor changes.
Note about keyboard short cuts:
The short cut for Delete is ^K. ^X, Delete and <-| (Backspace) are no longer
supported; they are reserved for applications that use Cut & Paste. The short
cut for Work area... (open Edit work area dialogue) was originally ^K, so
has had to be changed to ^O.
I haven't bothered to document keyboard short cuts, no one would learn them
all by heart from reading, you just gradually pick them up from the menus.
Note about BorderUtils & NewLook:
BorderUtils is a module to fix a bug in RISC OS 3.1. WinEd, like any
application with 3D slabbing icons, needs it. It comes with NewLook and as a
stand-alone from good PD libraries. WinEd was also designed with sprites from
NewLook in mind, some of the old ones look awful now.
