About Editor+

Editor+ is a text editor for OS/2 Presentation Manager. I wrote it especially for programmers who need a fast editor with powerful functionality and which is easy to configure. The editor is only designed for text files, do not load other files ! Each line can have a length of maximum 255 chars and you can set cursor on every possible position in a line. Many functions are multithreaded: for example reading a file uses two threads and saving/searching/drop and other funtions run in a separate thread. Actually there is no online help available, but it shouldn't be a problem to use Editor+.
This version is freeware, that means that you can give this program to other persons if you don't change this documentation, the program code and the zip file. It is not allowed to sell this program without my permission. If you want to distribute this program on a CD please let me know.
You use this program at your own risk! I only garantie that this program uses space on your harddisk or on another media! All rights are reserved.

Installation

You only have to unzip the file EDP100.ZIP. After unzipping you can start EDITOR.EXE. The program runs under OS/2 Warp 3/4 and should work with OS/2 2.11 too. If you have any problems with it, please let me know.

Tips

Do only load text files, if you load other files and Editor+ will find null terminated chars in the file or a if line is longer than 255 chars and you save this file, you can loose data.
If you are using files which are bigger than the I/O buffer then you should use a bigger I/O buffer. You can change the size of this buffer in the editor options.
If you want to save memory then switch off the undo/redo funtionality or set the undo/redo steps to a low number.
You can use the shift key in the menu for the following things:
- File/Exit: Exits Editor+ immediately wihout saving the open file and the options
- File/Last opened files: opens a file dialog with the directory of the file.
- Tools: opens the option dialog for the selected tool
If you have problems with Editor+ delete the configuration file (EDITOR.CFG) after you quit the program. If Editor+ won't run correctly please send my an e-mail with a detailed bug report.
