SuperPad by Douglas Boling
PURPOSE:
SuperPad is a replacement for Microsoft Windows' Notepad that
can edit files of any size. It also offers command line switches so you
can configure it for use with a Windows batch language.
===========================================================Revision History:
1.0 Initial Release
1.1 Bug fixes
removed problem OutputDebugString calls
fixed overstrike of non-char keys
added menu del routine
===========================================================
USAGE:
To install SuperPad, simply copy the executable file SPAD.EXE
to a directory in your path. You may also want to add a Program Manager
icon for SuperPad. The optional command line switches are as follows:
SuperPad [filename] [/Ln] [/Cn] [/R+|-] [V] [/F] [/P] [/Tn] [/W+|-]
The filename parameter specifies the file to be edited by SuperPad.
The /L (line) and /C (column) switches let you specify the line and
column where SuperPad is positioned when it opens a file. The /R
(read-only) switch prevents files from being modified. You can change
the status using the Read Only menu item. The /V switch is similar to
the /R switch except that the read-only nature of the session cannot
be modified through the Read Only menu item.
The /F (fixed) and /P (proportional) switches let you specify the type
of font used to display the file. The /T switch lets you set the tab
size. The last switch, /W, tells SuperPad whether it should wrap lines
longer than the width of the SuperPad window. The /W+ switch tells
SuperPad to wrap lines within the window; /W- tells SuperPad to use
a horizontal scroll bar instead of wrapping.
FILES: SPAD.EXE-SuperPad's executable program file.
SPAD.DOC-Just the documentation file for SuperPad.
SPAD.ZIP-The program, documentation, and source code files
for SuperPad all wrapped up in a .ZIP file.
