INTRODUCTION TO NICE-N-EZ
Allow me to introduce you to NICE-N-EZ, a full featured, state of the
art, text editor and program launcher.
NICE-N-EZ is a complete program development environment with the look
and feel of the Quick language series (QuickBasic, QuickC and Quick
Pascal) developed by Microsoft. NICE-N-EZ can be used to develop
programs in any text based programming language and you can provide
your own dynamic, context sensitive help information from which you
may transfer text, such as programming examples, to the clipboard for
inclusion in your own program.
NICE-N-EZ allows you to add as many as 10 different application
programs to its menu for execution when you make that menu selection.
You assign the menu name, prompt line and the command line to pass to
DOS. The command line may contain variable data that is relative to
the currently active file and you may also specify the amount of DOS
memory required to run the program.
NICE-N-EZ is fully mouse aware, both for menu selections and cursor
control, while editing text. Also, recognition of the mouse
double-click when loading files, etc. can save a great deal of mouse
motion. Also, NICE-N-EZ will function in 25, 43 and 50 line screen
modes.
NICE-N-EZ provides for loading as many as 5 files at once, each in a
different window that is sized, positioned and colored by the user.
In addition to the usual editing capabilities, NICE-N-EZ provides for
user maintained help text offering EZHELP (instant help) for the word
under the cursor (press the F1 key), powerful block operations, a
clipboard to store deleted or copied text, automatic indentation,
keystroke macros and miscellaneous programming aids.
Drop-Down menu choices may be made by mouse or keyboard. Dialog boxes
are used when additional information is required.
Development of this program was prompted my own need. I do some
programming in FORTRAN and I like the environment Microsoft provides
in their Quick language series, but they didn't offer QuickFortran.
So, I began developing my own environment that offered many of the
same features as QuickBasic. Incidentally, NICE-N-EZ is written
mostly in QuickBasic with some assembler. Microsoft has since
released Programmers Work Bench with a recent version of Fortran but I
think there is still a need for NICE-N-EZ with older versions of some
languages and with some of the Shareware languages. I hope you agree.
Also, I believe NICE-N-EZ will fill the need of many people for a
simple, powerful and easy to use ASCII text editor. Yes, another text
editor but, with state of the art features and appearance.

** INSTALLING NICE-N-EZ **
Of course, the first thing to do is to make a backup copy of your
distribution disk. Whether you received your copy of NICE-N-EZ from a
BBS or on a disk, the following files must be present for NICE-N-EZ to
function;
EZ.EXE - The main program
EZHELP.HLP - The help file for EZHELP (Instant Help)
EZ.DOC - The Documentation file suitable for printing
on any printer (19 pages).
EZREGFRM.TXT - Registration form
EZREAD.ME - A text file with additional information.
SAMPLE.TXT - A sample text file for demonstration.
HARD DISK INSTALLATION
If you are installing NICE-N-EZ to a drive other than C, or
installing from a drive other than A, then substitute the proper
drive letter for C and A in the following instructions.
Step 1. C:
2. CD\
3. MD EZ
4. CD EZ
5. COPY A:*.*
6. Edit the AUTOEXEC.BAT file to add "C:\EZ;" to the PATH
and add the following line;
SET EZCNF = C:\EZ\
7. Reboot your system so the changes in your AUTOEXEC.BAT
will be in effect.
FLOPPY DISK INSTALLATION
If you want to use NICE-N-EZ on a floppy disk, you may use the
backup disk with the above files. If you are short on disk space,
you may erase the EZ.DOC, EZREGFRM.TXT and EZREAD.ME files after
you print them.
NICE-N-EZ V2.01 Page 4
** GETTING STARTED with NICE-N-EZ **
You should read the documentation thoroughly. However, if you can't
wait, change to the directory or disk where the above files reside,
then type;
EZ SAMPLE [switches]
at the DOS prompt. The filename (SAMPLE) is optional and when
specified, causes NICE-N-EZ to load the specified file for editing.
The optional switches allowed are /B and /H. /B specifies black &
white mode operation. Using this switch will sometimes provide a
better display on monochrome monitors. The /H switch specifies the
high density mode of 43 or 50 line screens if your monitor has that
capability. The different line densities may be chosen from the menus
as well.
Once started, NICE-N-EZ displays a Menu Bar across the top of the
screen that shows the title of each Drop-Down Menu. You may activate
this Menu Bar by pressing the Alt key. When the Menu Bar is
activated, the first Menu (File) is highlighted and the remainder of
the Menu titles will have one letter in the title highlighted. You
may select a Menu title by using left/right arrow keys to highlight
your choice and then press the Enter key. You may also select a Menu
title by clicking the mouse on your selection or by pressing the Hot
Key (the highlighted key) for your choice.
When you have selected a Menu title, the Drop-Down Menu appears. You
may make your selection from the Drop-Down Menu in the same manner as
above. As you will see, some of the Menu functions may be activated
by a Hot Key without selecting from the Menu. The Hot Keys are shown
on each corresponding menu.
If you press the Alt Key and then H, for Help, you will see the Help
Menu. Press the Enter key and you can browse through all the editing
commands and see what Hot Keys are active when editing.
To see how EZHELP works, just move the cursor to the word "Rogers",
then press the F1 key.
If you select a Menu Choice that requires further information, a
Dialog Box will be displayed so you can provide the necessary
information.
You may begin editing the sample text or you may use the File-Open
(Ctrl-O) menu choice to open an existing text file for editing. When
editing is complete, press the F10 key (File-Exit). You will be
prompted to save your work if any changes have been made to the text
since it was last saved.
The next time you use NICE-N-EZ, you will probably want to set the
default path and extension for your source files. This is done by
choosing the Misc-Default File Parameters menu choice, then complete
the information in the dialog box.
NICE-N-EZ V2.01 Page 5
** EZHELP File Maintenance **
Registered users may maintain their own help files, designating words
to recognize, and the help to display, when the F1 key is pressed
while the cursor is on that word.
EZHELP help files are compiled from plain ASCII text files. Users
usually add their own help text to the EZHELP.TXT file distributed
with registered copies of NICE-N-EZ. This text file is then input to
the HELPCOMP program, also distributed to registered users, and
reformatted to be compatible with NICE-N-EZ.
Of course, you may have any number of different EZHELP files for
different languages or other uses. However, only one EZHELP file may
be active. The active EZHELP file may be changed by selecting the
Help-Help File Name menu choice and typing the file name in the Dialog
box.

NICE-N-EZ V2.01 Page 7
To mark a block with the mouse, simply position the mouse cursor at
the beginning of the block and press the left button, keeping it
depressed. While the button is down the cursor may be moved in any
direction. If the mouse is first moved up or down, marking is in
"sentence" mode. To mark a block in "column" mode move left or right
first.
The text may be scrolled either by the arrow keys, by clicking on the
arrow icons on the scroll bars or by sliding the scroll bar diamonds
at the bottom and right. You slide the diamond icons by clicking the
mouse on the icon and holding the mouse button depressed. Release the
mouse button when you have scrolled to the desired position.
NICE-N-EZ V2.01 Page 8
** DROP-DOWN MENUS **
You may activate the Menu Bar at the top of the screen by pressing the
Alt key. One of the Drop-Down menus may be selected be using the
arrow keys to highlight your choice then press the Enter key. Mouse
users may click on the Menu Bar choice to show the Drop-Down Menu.
Again, your choice from the Drop-Down Menu may be made by using the
arrow keys to highlight your choice then press the Enter key. Mouse
users may click on the Drop-Down Menu choice.
Information on each of the Drop-Down Menu choices follows;
The FILE Menu
New File
This Menu selection removes the currently active file from
active memory and presents a clear screen for you to open or
begin editing a new file. You may switch back to it later by
selecting the Other Window or Next Window choice from the View
menu. If changes have been made in the currently active file
since it was last saved, you will be prompted to save when you
exit.
Open File
This Menu selection will load a new file into active memory.
If you have a currently active file, it will be placed in
inactive memory and may be reactivated later by selecting the
Other Window or Next Window choice from the View menu. If
changes have been made in the active file since it was last
saved, you will be prompted to save when you exit.
A list of files conforming to the default path and extension
specified for source files will be displayed. You may make
your selection from this list by using the Arrow keys to
highlight your choice and pressing the Enter key or by
double-clicking the mouse on your choice. You may also type
the file name. If you type the file name, the default
path and extension will be used if you don't specify a path or
extension.
Close File
This Menu selection allows you to close any file that is
either in active or inactive memory. If any changes have been
made to the file being closed since it was last saved, you
will be prompted to save the file before it is closed.
Save
This Menu selection saves the currently active file and
overwrites the old version of the file, if any.
NICE-N-EZ V2.01 Page 9
Save As
This Menu selection allows you to save the currently active
file to disk with a new name. The new name is then assigned
to the currently active file.
Merge
This Menu selection inserts the contents of the specified file
into the currently active text, ahead of the current cursor
line.
Print
This Menu selection prints the complete currently active text
to the printer or disk file of your choice. You are presented
with a dialog box which allows you to specify the printer,
Header/Footer, margins and any printer initialization codes
that are necessary.
Print Selected Text
This Menu selection functions the same as the Print selection
(see above) except that only the highlighted text will be
printed.
DOS Shell
This command selection will temporarily suspend the operation
of NICE-N-EZ and invoke the DOS command interpreter. The
amount of memory specified in the Misc-DOS Memory Required
menu selection will be allocated to DOS. Type EXIT at the DOS
prompt when you are ready to return to NICE-N-EZ.
Exit
This Menu selection causes NICE-N-EZ to terminate. If any
changes have been made to either the active file or inactive
files, you will be prompted to save them.
The EDIT Menu
Cut
This Menu selection Cuts, or deletes, the selected text and
saves a copy on the Clipboard. Thus, the deleted text may be
inserted at another place in the currently active text. You
may activate or open another file and insert the Clipboard
contents into that file.
Any marked, copied or deleted text is saved on the Clipboard,
removing whatever was already on the Clipboard. Therefore,
any deleted text must be inserted before another marking or
deletion or it will be lost.
Paste
This Menu selection Pastes, or inserts, the current Clipboard
text ahead of the current cursor position.
NICE-N-EZ V2.01 Page 10
Clear
This Menu selection will delete the marked text without
placing it on the Clipboard. The current contents of the
Clipboard will not be changed.
Right Margin
This Menu selection allows you to set the right margin for
word-wrap. The margin may be set by specifying the column
position or positioning the cursor and pressing the Enter key.
Word-Wrap works when you are typing, it is not intended to
reformat text.
Tab Stops
This Menu selection allows you to set Tab positions. You may
set the tab positions anywhere between the two active margins.
Graphic Lines
This Menu selection invokes the Line Drawing mode. You may
use the cursor keys to draw lines or rectangles. The corners
of the rectangles are placed automatically when you change
direction with the arrow keys.
You have a choice of line styles to use. When constructing
rectangles, with the box drawing characters, you should begin
in the middle of one side. The reason is that, when you
change directions, NICE-N-EZ is able to determine which type
of corner to produce. However, when you cross an existing
line, NICE-N-EZ assumes that you are going to continue drawing
and uses a line intersecting character. This means that if
you begin at a corner of a rectangle, your last arrow press
will not produce a corner character.
Center Text Line
This Menu selection centers the line designated by the current
cursor position, between the two active margins.
The VIEW Menu
Other Window
This Menu selection displays a dialog box with all the active
and inactive files that are loaded. Highlight the one you
want to make active and press the Enter key or double-click
the mouse on your selection.
Next Window
This Menu selection makes the next file in sequence, if more
that one file is loaded, the active file.
25 Line Mode
This Menu selection invokes the 25 line screen mode and is the
default mode when NICE-N-EZ is started.
43 Line Mode
This Menu selection invokes the 43 line screen mode if you
have a monitor and graphics board capable of this mode.
NICE-N-EZ V2.01 Page 11
50 Line Mode
This Menu selection invokes the 50 line screen mode if you
have a monitor and graphics board capable of this mode.
View DOS Screen
This Menu selection causes a redisplay of the screen as it
appeared the last time NICE-N-EZ was entered. Any keystroke
will cause the NICE-N-EZ screen to reappear.
The SEARCH Menu
Find
This Menu selection allows you to specify a text string for
which to search. The search is in a forward direction. If
the text string is not found before the end of the file, the
search will then begin with the first kind of the active text
and continue the search until the position from which the
search began is reached.
Selected Text
This Menu selection is the same as above except that the text
to search for is highlighted before making this Menu choice.
Repeat Last Find
This Menu selection searches again for the last search string.
This is an easy way to find multiple occurrences of the same
string.
Change
This Menu selection allows you to replace an existing string
with another text string. The new text string may be any
length.
The WINDOW Menu
Upper Left Corner
This Menu selection allows you to move the upper-left corner
of the screen to resize the active window. You can do the
same thing by dragging the diamond in the upper left corner of
the screen to a new position. Dragging is done by holding the
mouse button depressed while moving the mouse.
Lower Right Corner
This Menu selection allows you to move the lower-right corner
of the screen to resize the active window. (See above).
Zoom
This Menu selection causes the currently active window to be
expanded to full screen size.
Show/Hide Window Frame
This Menu selection toggles the Frame mode on and off.
NICE-N-EZ V2.01 Page 12
Color
This Menu selection displays a color chart. You may choose a
color by using the arrow keys to position the cursor on the
color you want and press the Enter key. You may also choose a
color by clicking the mouse on the desired color.
This window is also a handy reference for color numbers when
writing programs that use colors.
The KEYS Menu
Record Key Macro
This Menu selection allows you to record a series of
keystrokes and replay them with a single keystroke. You will
be prompted on how to end the macro and when to specify the
"Hot Key" that will be used to invoke the macro.
Delete Key Macro
This Menu selection will display all defined macros and allow
you to select the one for deletion.
ASCII Chart
This Menu selection displays a chart of all the ASCII
characters with their numeric equivalences. Any character
above the numeric value of 31 may be chosen to print in the
currently active text. The choice can be made by using the
arrow keys to position the cursor and press the Enter key to
select. You may also click the mouse on your choice.
Repeat Last Key
This Menu selection repeats the last character typed or
selected from the ASCII chart.
The APPLICATIONS Menu
Add Application
This Menu selection allows you to add parameters for an
Application Program to be executed by NICE-N-EZ.
The Name field specifies the name that will appear in the
drop-down Menu.
The Hot Ltr field is a numeric value from 0 to 9. This
value specifies which letter of the Name will be used as
the Hot-Key when the Applications Menu is displayed.
The Mem Reqd field is a numeric value which specifies the
amount of memory required to run the Application. If there
is not enough memory available, NICE-N-EZ will release part
of its own memory to make the necessary memory available.
NICE-N-EZ can release all of its memory except approximately
8kb by writing the remainder of itself to disk. NICE-N-EZ
is then reloaded when the Application Program is finished.
Therefore, you should be able to run almost all programs
from NICE-N-EZ that would run under DOS.
NICE-N-EZ V2.01 Page 13
The Prompt field specifies the prompting message to be
displayed at the bottom of the screen when that Menu choice
is highlighted.
You may use variable data, that is relative to the currently
active source file, in specifying the Command Line. This
variable data allows you to use all or parts of the source
file specification in your Command Line.
Following are the valid variables, all must be enclosed in
brackets except the "@" symbol, which must be the first
character in the Command Line. The examples are based on a
source file name of D:\SOURCE\SAMPLES\WORKFILE.ASM
@ When this symbol precedes the command, the currently
loaded source file will be saved prior to executing
the command line.
[P] Path of the currently loaded file
(D:\SOURCE\SAMPLES\).
[BN] The basic file name of the currently loaded file
without path or extension (WORKFILE).
[FN] Complete file name of the currently loaded file
including path and extension
(D:\SOURCE\SAMPLES\WORKFILE.ASM)
[E] The extension of the currently loaded file (ASM).
Change Application
This Menu selection allows you to change the parameters that
were previously specified for an Application Program to be
executed by NICE-N-EZ. Blanking out the Application Name will
cause the Application Program to be deleted from the Menu.
The MISC Menu
About
This Menu selection displays information about this program.
The display is the same as the opening screen. You must press
a key to erase this display. The key you press will be
entered into your active text. This saves you a keystroke,
however, if you want to press a key without inserting that key
into your text, press the Esc key.
Compile Help Text
This Menu selection compiles an ASCII text file, like the ones
used by NICE-N-EZ, into a form that may be used by NICE-N-EZ
as a EZHELP file. EZHELP is invoked by placing the cursor on
a word and pressing the F1 key.
NICE-N-EZ V2.01 Page 14
You may prepare your own help files to conform to your
individual needs and preferences. You may have multiple help
files that are used for different programming languages or
projects. Only one help file may be active, however, you may
use the Help-Help File Name Menu selection to change that file
at any time.
Default File Parameters
This Menu selection will display a dialog box in which you can
specify the default file path and extension to use for loading
source files when an explicit path or extension is not given.
DOS Memory Required
This Menu selection allows you to specify the amount of memory
you want to have available when you Shell to DOS. A zero
specifies allocation of all possible memory to DOS.
If there is not enough memory available, NICE-N-EZ will
release part of its own memory to make the necessary memory
available. NICE-N-EZ can release all of its memory except
approximately 8kb by writing the remainder of itself to disk.
NICE-N-EZ is then reloaded when you type "Exit" to return to
NICE-N-EZ. Therefore, you should be able to run almost all
programs from the DOS Shell that would normally run under DOS.
String Space
This Menu selection displays the total amount of string space
that is available to NICE-N-EZ and the presently available
string space.
Registration Form
This Menu selection will copy the Registration Form to the
printer.
The HELP Menu
General Help
This Menu selection displays help for the general functions of
the editor and program launcher. Descriptions of the various
function keys used by NICE-N-EZ are provided.
Selected Topics
This Menu selection provides for selection of a Drop-Down menu
group of interest. You may then browse through a detailed
explanation of each menu choice in this group. You may select
one of these menus by positioning the cursor, with the arrow
keys or the mouse, on your selected menu, then press the F1
key.
Help File Name
This Menu selection allows you to specify a file to be used
for EZHELP (instant help). This file must first be compiled
by the HELPCOMP.EXE program which is supplied to all
registered users.
NICE-N-EZ V2.01 Page 15
** OTHER POSSIBLE USES for NICE-N-EZ **
For BASICA Programs
BASIC programmers who do not have or do not use QuickBasic, or
one of the other BASIC programs that supplies a complete
programming environment, might like the more powerful editing
and EZHELP features of NICE-N-EZ. To do your source editing
in NICE-N-EZ and then process the source code in BASICA, you
could add an application called BASIC to the NICE-N-EZ
Applications menu. The Command Line should then be "@BASICA
[FN]". The "@" would cause the source file to be saved to
disk before the command line was sent to DOS. The [FN] would
be expanded to the file name of the currently active text
file. When you type SYSTEM in BASICA you would return to
NICE-N-EZ for more editing. When you are developing BASICA
programs in NICE-N-EZ, perhaps you should use SYSTEM instead
of END in your BASICA programs.
For Other Programs
Another scenario for the use of NICE-N-EZ is developing
programs in a language that requires the conventional
Edit-Compile-Link-Run program development loop. You might
have as many as five modules of source code, each loaded in a
different window of NICE-N-EZ. You would add three programs
to the Applications Menu, with their appropriate command
lines, for Compile, Link and Run. Lets assume that you want
to develop programs for MASM.
The Compile program name might be "MASM", the Command Line
might be "@MASM [FN] compile options;". The "@" character
would cause the current version of the source code to be saved
to disk before compiling.
The Link program name might be "LINK", the Command Line might
be "D:\BIN\LINK @LINKLIST", where LINKLIST is a command file
for the linker that would link all the modules in the
application.
The Run Program name might be "MYPROG", the Command line might
be "MYPROG filename", where MYPROG is the name of your
program and "filename" is the input file to your program.
You can use NICE-N-EZ as an editor, a program launcher or a
complete program development environment. The possibilities are
many.
NICE-N-EZ V2.01 Page 16
** FUTURE ENHANCEMENTS **
Assuming that NICE-N-EZ attracts a significant number of
registration fees, I have a number of enhancements I would like
to make in the program. I won't share my list with you at this
time because I want to hear what you would like. So, please let
me know what additional features you would like to have added.
Obviously, suggestions from registered users will receive first
consideration.
Fixing reported bugs will have top priority. Yes, we have tested
NICE-N-EZ thoroughly but, I believe that all software programs
will always have have at least one more bug waiting to be
discovered. Anyone who reports a bug in NICE-N-EZ will receive a
free update of the program when that problem is resolved.
