   WELCOME TO WINEDIT 2000

   WinEdit is the Windows Editor that you can use to edit virtually
   any text file.  A >very< souped up version of Windows Notepad.
   It is specifically designed to be a programmer's editor, and can
   execute compilers and check for error messages.  It also includes
   a powerful macro language.


               HOW TO INSTALL WINEDIT

   Use our SETUP.EXE program, which will copy the files for you and install
   a WINEDIT group in the Program Manager or Win95 Start Menu.
   To use our SETUP.EXE program...   

     1) Close down all extraneous Windows applications.

     2) Double-Click on the SETUP.EXE program

     3) When the setup program asks for a directory, specify initial
        directory, or accept the given default.

   ----------------------------
      What's New in WinEdit 2000
   ----------------------------
   
   Spelling checker
   ----------------
   On the Edit menu.  Additional dictionaries will be available soon.
   
   Context menu improvements
   --------------------------
   Each file type can have its own popup menu definition.
   View.Options.FileTypes.Context menu for this file type.
   
   Right-click on workbook tab brings up context menu.
   
   Built in FTP client
   -------------------
   You can now choose FTP Open or FTP Save from the File menu to open and 
   save files on remote systems.  WE_FTP.exe is a standalone FTP program 
   that knows how to communicate back and forth with WinEdit.
   
   New HTML Viewer
   ---------------
   We're including a customized version of Internet Explorer that knows 
   how to communicate with WinEdit.  Choose "Edit.In WinEdit Explorer" (or 
   right click and choose it from the context menu) and the current file 
   will be rendered in WinEdit Explorer.  No need to save the file first, 
   which makes for a great preview capability.
   
   Better Java support
   -------------------
   No more fighting with RUNJAVA.BAT.  Choose Compile, Run Java Applet, or 
   Run Java Application directly from the right-click context menu.  If an 
   HTML wrapper file is already available in the source file directory you 
   can use that to test the applet, otherwise WinEdit will construct a 
   simple HTML wrapper and launch it in WinEdit Explorer.
   
   Improved HTML support
   ---------------------
   The syntax coloring for HTML files is much improved.  Also the 
   HTMLPopup.mnu has a new set of tags that can be inserted as you are 
   coding.  The tag insert will honor any selection you have, so for 
   example you can highlight a word, choose the 'Bold' tag, and the 
   highlighted word will be bracketed with the proper format.
   
   New macro functions
   -------------------
   In the Macros subdirectory, look at testnew.wbt to see a demonstration 
   of the new macro functions.
   
   Debugging Improvements
   ----------------------
   With previous releases, if you were debugging a script that inserted 
   text, the text was inserted into the window of the script being 
   debugged.  Obviously not a great convenience.  Now, WinEdit will 
   remember which window is the target of your macro command, and always 
   switch to that window before stepping or running.

                   REGISTRATION REMINDERS

 Unlicensed copies of WinEdit Software Co. products are 100% fully
 functional.  We make them this way so that you can have a real
 look at them, and then decide whether they fit your needs or
 not.  Our entire business depends on your honesty.  If you use
 it, we expect you to pay for it.  We feel that if we treat you
 well, you will treat us well.  Unlicensed copies of our 
 products do have a registration reminder screen that appears
 whenever you start the program.  This shouldn't really affect
 your evaluation of our software.

 We're sure that once you see the incredible quality of our 
 software, you will dig out your credit card, pick up the phone,
 call the nice people at our 800 number and register the
 software. 

 If you work for a large corporation, you can purchase most of
 our products the same way you buy your retail software.  Just
 send the purchase request up the line.  Most all the corporate
 software suppliers (Egghead Corporate, Software Spectrum,
 Corporate Software, Programmers Shop, and many others) purchase
 considerable volumes from us on a regular basis.

 When you pay for the software you like, you are voting with
 your pocketbook, and will encourage us to bring you more of the
 same kinds of products.  Pay for what you like, and then, more
 of what you like will almost magically become available.


                        LEGAL MATTERS

 Of course the usual disclaimers still apply.  We are not 
 responsible for anything at all.  Nothing.  Even if we are held
 responsible, the limit of our liability is the licensing fees
 you paid.  The full text of our license agreement is found near
 the bottom of this file. 


                 HOW TO INSTALL THIS SOFTWARE

  Use our snazzy setup program...

        1) Close down all extraneous Windows applications.  
           (You do have to be in Windows to run SETUP.EXE)

        2) Double-Click on the SETUP.EXE or use the Software
           install facility (if available) in Control Panel.

        3) When the setup program asks for a directory, specify
           an initial directory, or accept the given default.      

        4) When the screen comes up that asks you what you want
           to install, do your selections, then hit the NEXT 
           button to continue. 


                    UN-INSTALL INFORMATION

 This software may be uninstalled via the uninstall option
 in the Control Panel Add/Remove software dialog, or by running
 the uninstal.exe program in the WinEdit directory.  If you
 simply delete all the files first, you will not be able to run
 the uninstall program and there may still be traces of the
 program in various places on the system.


                        UPDATE POLICY

 WinEdit Software Co. frequently updates its products.  There are
 various kinds of updates, including Major updates, Minor
 updates, and bug-fix updates.

 Minor and bug-fix updates for our shareware products are free -
 - subject only to our reasonable shipping and handling
 charges for disks. As we are not in the disk selling business,
 you may find that shareware vendors specializing in disk sales
 can easily sell disks cheaper than we can.  On the other hand,
 we *always* have the most recent versions of our software.   Our
 shipping and handling charges for update disks are as follows:

     10.00  US and Canada for the first product.
      5.00  US and Canada for each additional product.
      9.50  Surcharge for shipping outside of US and Canada.

 If you obtain a minor or bug-fix update from our Web site 
 (http://www.winedit.com ) or other online service, a BBS, 
 a shareware disk vendor or from another source, there is no 
 charge from us (of course you will have to pay the on-line 
 service fees for your ISP, disk vendors fees, or at least pay 
 your phone bill for downloading from a BBS). In addition, you 
 may use  a single set of disks to perform minor or bug-fix 
 updates on any number of copies of a product.

 The policy and pricing for Major shareware updates vary.
 Depending on the nature of the upgrade, length of time since
 the previous major upgrade, desirability of new features added,
 the extent of revisions to the printed manuals (if any), work
 involved and possible price changes for new users, we may or
 may not charge fees.  Update fees for major updates tend to
 run 20% to 40% of the cost of the product.  Major updates tend
 to occur every few years.


                      ON-LINE SUPPORT

 WinEdit Software Co. has extensive on-line support.  We maintain a
 World Wide Web Server and an anonymous ftp site

    WinEdit Home Page    http://www.winedit.com
