. User Supported Software
.INTRODUCTION
.
. Blackbeard is a programmer's editor. It performs the
.editing tasks a programmer needs, in as fast and efficient
.manner as possible. It works the way you expect it to. The
.primary use for Blackbeard is for source code editing and it
.does all the things you would expect. It also has some word
.processing features; these were used to create this
.documentation.
.
.Distribution and Registration
.
. Software copyright violation is rampant. This is why we
.have created Blackbeard. Because Blackbeard is a superior
.text editor and available for free distribution, there should
.be little need to pirate copyrighted software to obtain
.advanced text editing features. Please feel free to give
.Blackbeard to your friends. We are counting on you as a
.participant in the largest distribution network in the nation
.(the owners and users of PCs) to make Blackbeard a popular
.product. With strong user support, Blackbeard will be
.enhanced with new features and capabilities making it the
.editor of choice.
.
. For twenty (20) dollars you can become a registered owner
.of Blackbeard. For your $20.00 you will appease your
.conscience about using unregistered software, provide support
.for future enhancements, receive a distinctive Blackbeard
.collectable, a registration sticker, and a copy of the latest
.version of Blackbeard. The file FORM.TXT can be used as an
.order form.

.DOCUMENTATION
.
. Blackbeard does not come with a voluminous manual. The
.design team decided that a good editor should not need a large
.reference manual; most of the documentation is built in. This
.file explans the features of Blackbeard.
.
. The Blackbeard diskette should have the following files:
.

.THE MOUSE
. A mouse is a productive device for cursor movement and
.command selection. The mouse makes interaction with the
.screen simpler, faster, and more spontaneous.
.
. Moving the mouse is as natural as moving your hand. As you
.move the mouse, the cursor moves on the screen.
.
. The right button on the mouse calls up the menu. The left
.button selects items. The pop-up menu is is placed at the
.cursor location, your eye's focal point. The menu is the
.inverse color of the current window. The menu item currently
.selected is the color of the current window.
.
. When the cursor is positioned over a menu item, pressing
.the left button selects a command.
.
. The right button on the mouse escapes from the menu without
.selecting an item. This button also returns to the main mouse
.menu from within a sub-menu.
.
. Blackbeard now includes an INTEGRAL MOUSE DRIVER for the
.Microsoft Mouse. The mouse will be automatically available,
.if the Mouse driver is loaded. These buttons correspond to
.Blackbeard commands.
.

.
. Mouse movements are tranlsated into cursor movements; the
.left button translates to enter selects menu items; the right

.
.Mouse Systems
.
. The Blackbeard distribution diskette includes a mouse menu
.driver for the Mouse Systems Mouse. To use the mouse install
.the PC mouse menu driver by running MOUSESYS (described in
.your Mouse Systems Manual). Run the Blackbeard menu program
.with the following command:
.
. M_BB
.
. Mouse movements are tranlsated into cursor movements; the
.left button translates to enter selects menu items; the right
.button translates to escape pop-ups and exits menus.
.
.Final Remarks
.
. Blackbeard was written for you. We are eager to hear your
.comments (yes, we read each one -- sometimes we even implement
.your suggestions). We encourage to avoid pirating software, and
.will strive to keep Blackbeard up to date. Please feel free to give
.Blackbeard to your friends.
.
. For twenty (20) dollars you can become a registered owner
.of Blackbeard. For your $20.00 you will appease your
.conscience about using unregistered software, provide support
.for future enhancements, receive a distinctive Blackbeard
.collectable, and a copy of the latest version of Blackbeard.
