INTRODUCTION
Ichiban Editor is a text editor that I have hoped to accomplish before
the turn of this century. I assume you have some knowledge of computers,
so I offer this program as something that you can use at an inexpensive
affordable way to beat EDLIN and EDIT.COM. With 10 windows to edit in,
ICHIBAN EDITOR will take care of most of your needs. And it is cheap
enough to afford.
If you have a question first press F1 to activate the help facility.
You may contact my by mail for technical assistance. I answer all the
mail that I can.
ICHIBAN EDITOR was written for the moderate to advanced computer user.
It provides a low cost alternative to powerful bloated wordprocessors
that try to be everything and anything to the millions of computer users
everywhere at a cost of hundreds of dollars. I ask that you test my editor
and see if it fits your simple text editing needs. You don't have to know
any programming or be a computer whiz with a PhD. That is not who this
program has been written for. It is meant for the computer user who uses
the computer as a tool.
ICHIBAN EDITOR requires an IBM PC or compatible with at least 320k memory.
You can edit a 120,000 byte file with as little as 320k of memory, though
the loading and editing will be somewhat slower.
You also need DOS 2.0 or higher, any monitor. A printer is optional.
Before using this program, you should be familiar with your computer and DOS.

GETTING STARTED
Your program diskette should contain at least the following 3 files:
ICHIBAN.EXE
ICHIBAN.DOC
REGISTER.FRM (optional)
If these files are not on your distribution diskette this program will not
operate correctly. Contact your distributor from whom you purchased the
program.
INSTRUCTIONS
1. install the distribution diskette in floppy drive a and close the door
2. copy all files to the subdirectory you want or onto another floppy disk
(eg. COPY A:\*.* C:\ICHIBAN)
3. If all files are compressed into a single ICHIBAN?.EXE file, type in
ICHIBAN? <enter>.
4. make a backup copy of the original distribution diskette
(who ever does?)
5. put in your CONFIG.SYS file (in the root directory) the following
commands:
FILES=40
BUFFERS=40
6. to run, type ICHIBAN filename <enter>
That's all there is to it! The rest of this manual is optional reference
material. Most of your questions can be answered by the on-line help in
the program. GOOD LUCK AND HAVE A NICE DAY!

TRYING THE PROGRAM IS THE BEST WAY TO LEARN IT.
