WELCOME TO WINEDIT 99c
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.
This zip file contains all the pieces to install WinEdit for
Windows NT or Windows 95/98.
*** Release Notes ***
0. If you are using the beta of MSIE 5.0 or MSOFFICE 2000 then the tree
control will be blank. This is due to a change in COMCTL32.DLL affecting
several other products (including WordPerfect 8). We expect to resolve this
problem by the time the MSIE 5.0 or MSOFFICE 2000 products are out of beta.
1. Try out the new support windows, accessed via the View menu. There's a
Directory tree window, an output window for compiles and multi-file find output,
and a watch window which displays script variables when debugging macro
scripts ( more on this later ).
2. If you have used a prerelease version of WinEdit 99, you may need to delete the
"ControlBars" section in the registry,
H_KEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wilson WindowWare\WinEdit\ControlBars
if toolbar buttons are either blank or off (cut does a copy, copy does a paste).
If you still have trouble with toolbar or view windows after this change, delete
the entire WinEdit key.
3. Options from the View menu is where you change all customizable settings.
Many options are classified by file type, so you can set a color or tabsize for
C files one way and TXT files another.
4. There is a quick record keyboard macro now, on the Project menu. Ctrl-Q
(this can be changed in View.Options) toggles recording and Ctrl-Shift-Q plays
it back. You can still save the recorded macro, from the Project menu.
6. Tools can be defined on the Project menu. These are saved by project, so
you can have different sets for different projects.
7. Debugging of macro scripts - You can choose to Run, SingleStep, Run to Cursor,
or Run to Breakpoint, all accessed from the toolbar or the Project.Debug menu.
Open the Watch Window to display all currently defined variables in the running
script and their values.

REGISTRATION REMINDERS
Unlicensed copies of Wilson WindowWare 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 WinBatch/System subdirectory. 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
Wilson WindowWare 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.windowware.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
Wilson WindowWare has on-line support!
Wilson WindowWare lives on the INTERNET. We maintain a
World Wide Web Server and an anonymous ftp site
