                       AE -- Another Editor
                           Version 1.4

                         by Dick Alstein.



AE is a public domain text editor for MS-DOS compatibles,
written in Turbo Pascal. The program is copyright, but you may
copy and use the software under the following conditions:

* You may make copies of the program for your own use or to give
  them away. Copies given to other persons must be accompanied by
  this notice, the manual file and the full original source code.

* No money whatsoever is to be charged for copies of the program
  or for any part of it. (Who would want to pay for it, anyway?)

* Use of the software is at your own risk.

* You may modify the source code to fix bugs or to adapt it to
  your own needs. However, you should clearly indicate where and 
  how you have changed the source code, and give the program a 
  new sub-version number (1.41, 1.42, etc.). Better still, if 
  you think the modifications are real improvements, please send 
  them to the address below, so that I can incorporate them in 
  the next version of AE.

The full AE package contains the following files:

README.TXT          This notice
AE.EXE              The compiled AE program
AEMANUAL.TXT        User's manual
CHANGES.TXT         List of changes from version 1.3 to 1.4
AE.PAS              Source code of the main program
AE0.PAS .. AE4.PAS  Source code of the units
SPLIT.EXE           Utility to split large files
SPLIT.PAS           Source code of same
MERGE.EXE           Utility to merge files
MERGE.PAS           Source code of same

If you suspect the program of being infected by a virus (or by a
nasty programmer) you can recompile it. It can be compiled with
Turbo Pascal version 5.5 or later. Probably also 5.0, but I
didn't check. Note that, besides the main program AE.PAS and the
units AE0.PAS trough AE4.PAS, you will also need the file
TCMVSMEM.OBJ. This is an object code file containing two screen 
routines. It is part of TurboCalc, one of the examples delivered 
with every copy of Turbo Pascal. It is not included in the AE 
package because Borland holds the copyright.
