KEDIT for Windows Version 1.5
16-Bit Demo for Windows 3.1

(c) Copyright 1983-1996 Mansfield Software Group, Inc.

** Welcome to the KEDIT for Windows Demo!

Thank you for your interest in this demo version of KEDIT for Windows.
The KEDIT for Windows demo allows you to try out all of the features of
KEDIT, including saving files and writing your own macros. The only
difference between the demo and the production version of KEDIT for
Windows is that there is a 75-line limit on the files that you can save
to disk.

KEDIT for Windows is a general purpose Windows text editor. Text mode
DOS and OS/2 versions of KEDIT are also available. KEDIT works with
standard text files, features a powerful set of commands, and provides
the ability to edit and view several files at a time, to mark and
manipulate blocks of text, and to tailor the editing environment to suit
your needs.

One special aspect of KEDIT is its compatibility with XEDIT, the IBM
mainframe text editor used under VM/CMS. Many of XEDIT's commands and
features have been implemented in KEDIT.

When you purchase a full copy of KEDIT for Windows 1.5, you will receive
a complete set of KEDIT for Windows documentation, including the
300-page User's Guide and 400-page Reference Manual. The contents of
both of these manuals are available online in the KEDIT for Windows Help
file included with this demo.

This demo version of KEDIT for Windows is provided solely for the
purpose of helping you evaluate the capabilities of KEDIT, and you
have permission to use the demo only for that purpose.

** Installation

This version of the demo is distributed in a ZIP file. To install the
demo, unzip the files contained in the ZIP file to a temporary directory,
and then run SETUP.EXE from the temporary directory.

** Getting Started with the KEDIT for Windows Demo

Assuming you select the default options when you run the KEDIT demo's
Setup program, you can run the demo module by double-clicking the KEDIT
for Windows icon within the KEDIT for Windows program group. Remember
that the demo version contains all of the features of the full product,
and can work with any file that the full product can work with, but
there is a 75-line limit on the size of the files that can be saved.

Complete documentation for KEDIT for Windows is in the Help file,
KEDITW.HLP, that is included as part of this demo. Here are some hints
about where to get started in the documentation:

- If you are new to KEDIT:

If you have never used KEDIT before, you should look at the 'Getting
Started' and 'Basic Features' sections of the Help file for important
introductory information.

Users of IBM's XEDIT editor should also read the 'XEDIT Users' section
of the Help file for information about KEDIT's XEDIT compatibility
features.

- If you are a user of KEDIT for DOS or OS/2:

If you are a user of KEDIT for DOS or OS/2, you should look at the
'Getting Started' and 'Basic Features' section of the Help file. You
should also look at the 'For Upgraders' section of the Help file for
information about the differences between text mode versions of KEDIT
and KEDIT for Windows. You should also be aware of the Options Interface
menu item; it displays a dialog box that lets you adjust some of KEDIT
for Windows' keyboard and mouse behavior to be more like that of text
mode KEDIT.

- If you are a user of KEDIT for Windows 1.0:

Users of KEDIT for Windows 1.0 should look at the 'For Upgraders'
section of the Help file for information about the changes in this
version of KEDIT.

** Uninstalling the KEDIT for Windows Demo

If you decide to purchase KEDIT for Windows, you can install the
production version directly on top of the demo version and do not need
to uninstall the demo.

To uninstall the KEDIT for Windows demo under Windows 3.1:

* Using the Windows File Manager or some other utility, delete the
KEDITW directory and all of the files and subdirectories that it
contains. Note that, before deleting them, you will probably want to
make backup copies of any files or macros of your own that you have
placed in these directories.

* Delete KEDIT's icons, which are normally installed in a Program
Manager group called KEDIT for Windows. To do this, activate the KEDIT
for Windows group and then press the Delete key repeatedly until all of
the icons have been deleted. After the group is empty, you can press the
Delete key one more time to delete the group itself.

* Erase the KEDITW.INI file that KEDIT keeps in your \WINDOWS directory.
