This file describes how to install LEDIT32.DLL V2.07
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

LEdit DLL is a large edit control that may edit texts
more than 64K and also has a lot of interesting features.

The best way to install it is to place LEDIT32.DLL into your
windows' system directory, usually \WINDOWS\SYSTEM. If you
decide to do this, make sure that your \WINDOWS\SYSTEM
directory doesn't contain other version of LEDIT32.DLL.
If so, don't replace it, because the DLL from shareware
package may destroy the functionality of applications that
brought LEDIT32.DLL into your system directory.

If you don't place LEDIT32.DLL into your system directory, then
you need make it available to all the program that involve it
by placing it in the same directory as these programs.

If you're using C/C++ you may want to copy LEDIT.H into
your /INCLUDE directory and LEDIT32.LIB into your /LIB directory.

LEDIT32B.LIB is import library destinated to work with Borland C++.
LEDIT32M.LIB is import library destinated to work with MSVC++.

LEDIT32.DLL exports only two procedures. One of them - LVer()
returns its version (207). After any of them is called you
receive new Windows class LEDIT_CLASS, which you may use in any
way standard Windows' Edit may be used.

You may see how to do it by looking at sample programs, which
are in files LEDIT_x.*. They show how to make LEdit to be
main window (LEDIT_1.*), MDI child (LEDIT_2.*), Dialog control
(LEDIT_3.*), Window control (LEDIT_4.*). You can also find out
how to manage LEdit text (LEDIT_3.*), how to make color highlighting
(LEDIT_4.*) or background drawing (LEDIT_5.*) and many other 
interesting thinks. 

The documentation may be found in LEDIT.H file, which is at a time
C/C++ header file. You may find the info also in Help File.

LEDIT32.DLL comes with many accompaniyng files, which are
recommended to be installed in a separate directories by
expanding original zip file with PKUNZIP -d
