----------------------
The purpose of the program
----------------------

2Parse is a utility program that allows you to make multiple changes to character strings within a text file or across many files. Path and extension filters can be used to include or exclude files. Only specific line-number ranges within files need be affected. Character strings bounded by unique delimiters can be found and replaced including or excluding the delimiters themselves. Special HTML tag and attribute editing functions are included.


----------------------
What is Shareware?
----------------------

The principle of Shareware is that you can try the software before you buy it and avoid the gamble of paying for a shrink-wrapped package before using it. This way you can try software until you find one you like and then pay the licence fee to register your use of it. It's very important to register your Shareware to show your appreciation to the authors and ensure the continuance of the Shareware concept.


----------------------
Can you distribute this software?
----------------------
