INTRODUCTION:
-------------
TextPad aims to provide the power and functionality to satisfy your most
demanding text editing requirements. It is Windows hosted, and comes in
16 and 32-bit editions. Huge files can be edited by either - just choose
the edition that works best with your PC. The 32-bit edition is only
limited by virtual memory, and it will work with Win32s and Windows 95.
TextPad has been implemented according to the Windows 95 user interface
guidelines, so great attention has been paid to making it easy for both
beginners and experienced users. In-context help is available for all
commands, and in-context menus pop-up with the right mouse button. The
multi-document interface allows multiple files to be edited
simultaneously, with up to 2 views on each file. You can drag and drop
text between files.
In addition to the usual cut and paste capabilities, you can correct the
most common typing errors with commands to change case, and transpose
words,characters and lines. Other commands let you indent blocks of
text, split or join lines, and insert whole files. Any change can be
undone or redone, right back to the first one made. Visible bookmarks
can be put on lines.
It also has a customizable tools menu, and integral file compare and
search commands, with hypertext jumps from the matched text to the
corresponding line in the source file (ideal for integrating compilers).
To find out more, install TextPad by referring to the instructions below,
and then read the introduction in the on-line help file.
MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS:
---------------------
16-bit Edition: 32-bit Edition:
o 386SX with 4MB RAM o 486SX with 4MB RAM (12MB for NT)
o 1MB free disk space o 1MB free disk space
o Windows 3.1 in 386 o Windows 95 or NT 3.5 or
enhanced mode Windows 3.1 with Win32s 1.25
INSTALLATION:
-------------
WARNING: If your disk or ZIP file contains BOTH editions of
TextPad, SETUP.EXE is a 32-bit program. So if you want to install
the 16-bit edition of TextPad, use SETUP16.EXE instead. This does
not apply if you only have the 16-bit edition.
Installing From a ZIP File:
1) Unzip into a new temporary directory, with PKUNZIP 2.04g.
2) Run SETUP.EXE using File Manager or Program Manager.
3) Follow the on-screen instructions, but install into a
different directory from that in step 1 above.
4) Delete the files unzipped in step 1 above.
Installing From Floppy Disk:
1) From Program Manager, choose the Run command from the
File menu.
2) Type "A:\SETUP" to run the TextPad setup program.
3) Follow the on-screen instructions.
You can install both editions into the same directory.
There is no need to modify your search path.
WHAT'S NEW:
-----------
See the online help for what's new in this release.
RESTRICTED FEATURES:
--------------------
The following features are only available to registered users:
1) OLE2 drag and drop editing. Local drag and drop editing is always
available, but scrolling has not been implemented. This means
that you can drop text in the visible view, but you cannot
scroll the view whilst dragging.
2) Searching of subdirectories with the Find in Files command.
REGISTRATION:
-------------
If you make use of TextPad you must register it. Registered users
will receive a copy of the latest releases of both the 16 and 32-bit
editions, along with the Win32s and OLE2 files necessary for running
in 32-bit mode on Windows 3.1.

TextPad is a "shareware program" and is provided at no charge
to the user for evaluation. Feel free to share it with your
friends, but please do not give it away altered or as part of
another system. The essence of shareware software is to
provide personal computer users with quality software without
high prices, and yet to provide incentive for programmers to
continue to develop new products.
If you find this program useful and find that you are using
TextPad and continue to use it after a reasonable trial period,
you must make a registration payment. This registration fee
will license one copy for use on any one computer at any one time.
All users will receive a copy of the latest release of TextPad when
they register, and free technical support for a limited period
(see the on-line help for details).
You must treat this software just like a book. For example,
this software may be used by any number of people and may be
freely moved from one computer location to another, as long as
there is no possibility of it being used at more than one
location at a time. Just as a book cannot be read by two
people at the same time.
Commercial users of TextPad must register and pay for their
copies of TextPad within 30 days of first use or their license
is withdrawn. Site License arrangements may be made by
contacting Helios Software Solutions.
Anyone distributing TextPad for any kind of remuneration must
first contact Helios Software Solutions at the address below for
authorization. This authorization will be automatically granted
to distributors recognized by the (ASP) as adhering to its
guidelines for shareware distributors, and such distributors may
begin offering TextPad immediately. (However Helios Software
Solutions must still be advised so that the distributor can be
kept up-to-date with the latest version of TextPad.).
You are encouraged to pass a copy of TextPad along to your
friends for evaluation, but you must include all files in the
original distribution. Please encourage them to register their
copy if they find that they make use of it.
