  DESCRIPTION
  -----------


      E!  is  a  powerful  full-screen text editor. Its implementation
      has  been  driven  by  three  keywords : quick, simple and efficient.
      It  will  allow  you  to edit as many files as your system memory can
      hold  simultaneously.  A  "split screen" mode is available to see two
      different  parts  of  a file on the same screen. Although E! is not a
      word  processor  it  offers  some functions you will rarely find in a
      text  editor.  His  very  versatile  interface  with  DOS  makes it a
      valuable   tool   for   programmers  but  it  will  be  used  by  non
      programmers as "every day's" text editor.

      And  now,  E!  version  4.0  has  2  new and important features.
      First,  full  windowing  is now supported. You may edit up to 6 files
      simultaneously  on  the  same  screen  in  separate  windows.  And E!
      has  now  a  very  convenient Application Programming Interface (API)
      allowing  you  to  write new functions and utilities using your usual
      language (C, Pascal, etc...).
