1. What is WINEDT?
WINEDT is a text editor and project manager for Windows 95.
WINEDT can be customized to run with different utilities and is
particularly suitable for writing TeX documents. WINEDT allows the user to
install DOS and Windows Applications and activate them by using a Menu
Command or a Tool Bar Button. Furthermore, WINEDT can pass currently
opened files as parameters, making sure that changes are automatically
saved before the files are compiled. After defining utilities (such as
TeX, LaTeX, BibTeX, DVI Driver, Spell Checker), most of the common tasks
while writing a TeX document or a project is reduced to clicking a Tool
Bar Button or selecting a Menu Command. WINEDT is suitable for writing
papers, theses or books, using a simple but efficient strategy to manage
projects.
As a text editor, WINEDT has all commonly-used commands and in many ways
resembles Borland's IDE (although it was written from scratch using
Borland's TPW Compiler). It can be used to edit huge text files. The user
can open many files at once and can switch between them using the Window
Menu or Ctrl+Tab switch. WINEDT is an MDI application and follows/extends
Windows' Standards in every respect. WINEDT comes with a comprehensive,
Context-Sensitive Help.

3. Installing WINEDT 95
(a) The following files are down-loaded and unzipped from
ftp.borland.com pub/techinfo/techdocs.../*.zip
(courtesy of Borland International, Inc.)
and are included in this package for your convenience:
bwcc.dll - Borland Library (loaded by WINEDT)
borte1.fon - BorlandTE Font Library (recommended)
You should move these two files in WINDOWS/SYSTEM directory.
If you already have a version of BWCC.DLL you can decide whether to
replace it or not (depending on the version).
If you are developing with BWCC.DLL, please download the original package
(pub/techinfo/techdocs/language/c++/bcpp/bwcc.zip) and read the
instructions before replacing BWCC.DLL.
BorTE family is an excellent choice for a font used by WINEDT.
If you want WINEDT to use this font you should first install it:
Settings / Control Panel / Font ...
The file borte1.fon (pub/techinfo/techdocs/other/misc/borte1.zip)
is provided for this purpose. You are encouraged to install and
use BorTE Font with WINEDT.
(b) Create a directory and move the following files into it:
winedt.exe - WINEDT Executable
winedt.hlp - WINEDT Help
winedt.txt - Important Text to Read about WINEDT
winedt.dat - Examples for customizing WINEDT
winedt.ini - Plain Mode Initialization File
wedtxt.ini - Text Mode Initialization File
wedtex.ini - TeX Mode Initialization File
(c) The following files can be placed anywhere:
0readme.txt - This File
erase.bat - DOS Command File: Erase *.TMP and *.BAK Files (Sample)
erase.pif - PIF File to run erase.bat in a DOS WINDOW (Sample)

The ".BAT" and ".PIF" files are provided as Samples for how to run DOS
Utilities with WINEDT. More about that later... (See: "winedt.txt")
(d) You can install WINEDT by creating a shortcut in one of the Programs
Groups. Windows Explorer is a tool for creating and maintaining shortcuts
as well as associating applications with certain file types.
More about that later... (See: "winedt.txt")
You may decide to try WINEDT before installing the program. In that case
you can activate the program using your favorite Windows 95 method to
start an application (for example: Run... or Windows Explorer...).
(e) You are now ready to start WINEDT (Plain Mode):
