1. What is Turbo-Edit 97?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Turbo-Edit 97 is not just another Windows Notepad replacement!
It is a feature-rich and user friendly editor with some very original 
productivity tools.

Turbo-Edit 97 requires Windows 95 or later to run.

----------------
 Key Features 
----------------
  
  - Turbo-Edit 97 can open as many files at a time as you want (even
    if they are multi-megabyte files) using a tabbed interface.
  - Configurable syntax highlighting for Basic, C++, HTML, Ini, Inf, Java
    and Pascal files.
  - Multi-level undo and redo.
  - Bookmarks. You can set up to 10 bookmarks by using the right mouse
    button Pop-up menu or the short-cut [Ctrl+Shift+0..9] (number between 0
    and 9). You can also jump to bookmarks by using the short-cut [Ctrl+0..9].
  - Pop-up menus with right mouse button.
  - You change between the open files by clicking on their tabs or use the 
    shortcuts Ctrl+Tab and Ctrl+Shift+Tab or Ctrl+PageDown and Ctrl+PageUp.
  - If you run Turbo-Edit 97 again when their is already an instance 
    running, the file(s) you wish to edit will be opened by the existing 
    Turbo-Edit 97 window.
    This means there will be at most one Turbo-Edit 97 window open,
    which will save you from a lot of task switching.
  - Smarter hot keys.
  - Accepts file names passed as command-line parameters to the program.
    (and so can be used	to replace NOTEPAD or other editors that are 
    called up from a file manager by clicking on a file).
  - Open files by drag-and-dropping them from File Manager or Explorer.
  - Can read and write files in DOS ASCII, UNIX and Macintosh format 
    (with auto detect for UNIX/Mac files).
  - The editor detects when an open file has been modified by another tool, 
    and prompts you to reopen it.
  - The editor can restore its size and position on the desktop from 
    a previous session.
  - Fonts & colors user-definable.
  - If you wish, the Turbo-Edit 97 window stays on top of all other windows.
  - Functions to change case, insert a file in the current text, etc.
  - Reopen menu that lists the last files opened.
  - Configure the open and save dialog file filters.
  - Goto Line Number.
  - Easy and working installation and uninstallation (see below).
  - And lots more...

This program was developed using Delphi 2.0 and is a 100% 32-bit compiled 
Win32 executable, no run-time libraries are necessary to run it
(except for LEdit32.dll included with Turbo-Edit 97).

I hope you'll enjoy this program, and would like as much feedback as 
possible.
