ABOUT EDITH

You are having a look  at the Demonstration version  of
the first commercial release of the Edith desktop  text
editress package.

EDITH is  one of  the most  flexible and  user-friendly
text editors currently existing for any micro  computer
platform.  The  program's  ability to  work  with  text
selections of  arbitrary  complexity, as well  as  many
other new ideas  such as  visible text  blocks and  the
text  data   trash  make   powerful  editing   features
accessible  to  computer  users  who  want  a  computer
program to understand THEIR wishes, and not vice versa.


EDITH is available  NOW for  any Atari  system with  at
least  1  megabyte  of   on-board  memory, at  a   very
affordable price  of approximately  110 dutch  guilders
(60 US dollars) including 17.5% Dutch BTW  (VAT) within
the EC.  For countries outside the EC, the price can be
slightly higher (120 guilders) depending on the  method
of payment. Versions for  other operating systems  such
as X windows  and MS-Windows will  be presented in  the
future.





ABOUT THE DEMO VERSION

This DEMO version  is a complete  version of the  first
release  (1.2) of  Edith  Professional,   without   the
operations SAVE TEXT and SAVE TEXT BLOCK.




ABOUT THESE MANUAL PAGES

The on-line  help  pages were  explicitly  written  for
quick reference,   as a  convenient supplement  to  the
printed  manual.   Not  even  nearly  all  of   EDITH's
features are described here,  and the help pages do not
aim at giving  an explanation,  but  rather remind  the
user of the one in the printed manual.

There is a  manual page  for each type  of window.   So
when you hit  HELP when  a text window  is on  top, you
will get a different page than when you hit HELP on one
of the dialog windows.
