If you are using M&I WinEditor use F5-key to go to a decided line.
Please note you can use the item "Last file" in Dialog "More options" 
to disable the automatically loading of last used file.



1.  Setup
=========

Run SETUP.EXE to install M&I Win Editor on your computer.

This program creates an additional file named MI_EDIT.REG. The 
HELP option describes the program functions and how to use the file.

M&I WinEditor consists of the following files:
     MI_EDIT.EXE  -  M&I WinEditor
     MI_EDIT.HLP  -  Help file for M&I WinEditor
     MI_DOREG.DLL -  Shareware functions and registration 
     MI_EDIT.INI  -  Initialization file
     SETUP.EXE    -  Setup program
     README.TXT   -  This file
     BWCC.DLL     -  Library of Windows dialog functions
     ORDER.TXT    -  Text file including order form

When you start this shareware version for the first time, a file 
MI_EDIT.LIC will be created in Windows directory. This file is used 
to be registered for the full version.



2.  Special features
====================

M&I Win Editor comprises three powerful modules, enabling you to work 
on Windows files as well as on DOS files.

- Text Editor (Text Mode)
- Hexadecimal  Editor (Hecadecimal Mode)
- Global Search (Grep)


2.1  Text Mode
--------------

Text Mode recommends itsself, especially,  for working on big 
text files. The file size is only limited by the memory available. 

There is no limitation with regard to the number of lines. However, 
line length depends on the font size you have chosen. For standard 
font sizes, it is 4,000 characters, approximately.

This program implements all the standard features of conventional 
editing programs, such as cutting, copying, pasting, selecting, 
searching, replacing, going to, block commands, undoing, 
automatic line feed, various tabbings.

Any Windows text can be converted into MS-DOS text, and vice versa.

You can also replace big blocks of text (> 64 kBytes) by using 
the Clipboard.

You can change any selected (highlighted) area of text completely to 
uppercase or lowercase letters, repectively (Upcase/Downcase function),
and set any tab you want for the entire marked area.

All the Windows fonts available, including proportional spacing, 
can be used.


2.2  Hexadecimal Mode
---------------------

Using Hexadecimal Mode enables you to view and edit all different 
types of files.

Variable file sizes are possible. However, you can only work 
on a file, if it is bigger than the memory available.

WARNING: Any modification to executable programs (*.EXE / *.COM) 
may result in destroying the programs and cause data loss!


2.3  Global Search (Grep)
-------------------------

Taking of advantage of several options provided, you can search 
for any text on a drive or in directory.

The unique feature:

Since the found occurences of the text are listed in a separate 
window, the way of working with them is similar to  working 
on a text file.

Double-clicking the relevant item in the Search Results list 
will load respective file into the Editor window and mark 
the line where the found text is occuring.

The window containing the Search Results list remains in the 
foreground, thus providing access to the next found occurence 
of the text if you double-click again.

Due to the internal administration of items, the file will 
immediately be opened and the found text (line) will be 
highlighted, too.

This option is also recommended to be used for file searching 
(File-Find).



3.  Shareware - Complete Version
================================

The Shareware idea makes it possible for you to test the quality 
and suitablity of a program prior to purchasing it.

However, to use this program for commercial as well as for 
private purposes, you need to purchase a licence.


3.1  Equal Software - Different Implementation
----------------------------------------------

The shareware files and the files of the full version are identical!
The decision, whether the program should be run as a full version, 
or shareware version, is based upon a special licence file.

As a shareware version, M&I Win Editor functions without any 
limitation. When starting and quitting the program, a message is 
displayed advising you of the necessity to be registered for using 
the program.


3.2  Licensing
--------------

1. When you start M&I Win Editor, it automatically creates the 
licence file MI_EDIT.LIC. In this file, a random registration number 
is stored.

2. Send this registration number and the registration fee to 
Firma Ingo Paleit, EDV Consulting & Training.

WARNING:	Please, always state the right registration number! 

The registration fee for one licence is DM 49.00.
Do not send any cash. Please, always  in "DM" by cheque.

3. We will send your registration code by letter. Enter the code 
by following the "Registration" dialog. After completing this dialog, 
M&I Win Editor will be licensed for you as a full version.

NOTE:
-----

The licence file (MI_EDIT.LIC contains your registration data. 
Therefore, please do not pass this file on to another person!

Any attempt to manipulate the licence file will result in deleting 
your registration data!

If you want to run M&I Editor on several computers, registration has 
to be effected in the same way as pointed out above.

Your advantage:
---------------

After pruchasing your licence, you can be provided with all the 
subsequent shareware versions that can be used as full versions, too.
Within a group of several versions, the program recognizes the 
existing licence file.


3.3  Manual
-----------

The manual is only available for the German program version. If 
required, you can print out the Help topics.


3.4  Prices / Discount / Invoice
--------------------------------

The registration fee for one licence is DM 49.00 or US-$ 31.00.

If you order more than one licence, we will grant the following 
discount:

1st licence:                  DM 49.00 or US-$ 31.00

5th and any further licence:  DM 29.00 or US-$ 19.00
