This is a shareware product. If you choose to use it,
please send $15 to: Mark R. Sizer
PSC Box 1652
Tyndall AFB, FL 32403
(NOTE: if you want to be a beta tester, let me know. I will
waive the registration fee and you can use it legally for
free. I do expect some feedback, so don't do this unless you
are willing to be helpful.)
Please also include your CIS ID or your GENIE address, if you
have one. I would prefer to post upgrade notices online.
This is a beta version. Therefore all features are new
features. I will briefly list all the features and any known
bugs in them.
FILE:
NEW - Creates a new file, if the current file is
not saved, you are asked if you wish to save it.
OPEN - Opens a disk file, if the current file is not saved, you
are asked if you wish to save it. Virtual editing is not yet
supported. Therefore if you select a file too large for the
amount of memory available you will either be told or the system
will crash. There is a bug here that I can not find.
SAVE - Saves the current file without prompting for a name (unless
the current file is (No-File)).
SAVEAS - Saves the current file, prompting for a file name.
PRINT - Not implemented. The code is written but nothing
happens. I do not have a printer on my IBM, but am working
on the problem.
BLOCKLOAD - Loads a disk file into the current file, selecting it
in the process.
BLOCKSAVE - Saves the currently selected block to a disk file.
EDIT:
UNDO - Is not implemented.
CUT - Removes the currently selected block and places it on the
clipboard.
COPY - Copies the currently selected block to the clipboard.
PASTE - Pastes the contents of the clipboard into the file,
selecting it.
DUPLICATE - Copies the selected text and Pastes it at the cursor
location.
MOVE - Cuts the selected text and Pastes it at the cursor location.
DESELECT - Removes the current selection.
SEARCH:
FIND - Finds the entered text. (The ignore case option is not
implemented).
CHANGE - Finds the entered text and changes it. (The ignore case
option is not implemented).
NEXT - Repeats the last FIND or CHANGE command.
CURSOR:
GOTOLINE - Moves the cursor to the line specified. The dialog
box contains the max line number when it is displayed.
OVERWRITE - Toggles the overwrite/insert modes.
AUTOINDENT - Toggles autoindent on and off.
INSTALL:
EDIT SETTINGS - Allows you to select the default modes for
OVERWRITE, AUTOINDENT, and TAB EXPANSION. Your choices are
written into the win.ini file. Note: Tab expansion is always
spaces. You may change it but it makes no difference.
COLORS - Allows you to change the screen colors. Your choices
are written into the win.ini file. Note: When running multiple
instances, you may have different colors for each instance, but
the last colors changed are what is written to the win.ini file.
This program was written as a prototype for a word processor. If,
however, the shareware response is good, I will continue to release
upgrades. If you decide not to use this program, please drop me
some e-mail telling me why you hate it. I will implement most
reasonable features. Please remember, though, this is a TEXT editor.
NOTES:
1) There is no macro language: I am thinking about it.
2) No UNDO: I am working on it.
3) As you type into an empty file, the vertical scroll bar does
not appear and the scroll bar thumb does not function properly.
Re-Size the window every now and then. I am working on this, too.
4) Only LINES may be selected. I hate this. I am implementing
column and stream selection.
5) I am releasing this now because if I wait for all the features
I want to be implemented, it will never go out.
