BEDIT is a text editor that uses a variety of character sizes to display
all output, including help and error messages.  The characters range from
normal text size to large block characters that each take up 4 standard
rows and 8 standard columns. 

BEDIT was originally written to make a low-price editor available to users
with vision impairment but might also be used on laptops, which tend to 
impair everyone's vision.  BEDIT is shareware for $30.  For information
on how to pay for BEDIT, see the last pages of this file.














Files in BEDIT are limited to what can fit in memory at one time.  BEDIT has
the usual editing functions:

    copy, move, or delete blocks of text lines;
    read, write, or join text files;
    process one or two files in one or two windows;
    search and replace text strings;
    scroll with the arrow-keys;
    get online help;
    enter text in INSERT or OVERSTRIKE mode;
    get automatic word wrap on input. 
















Additionally, BEDIT gives you control over the size of the characters used
to make up the display, ranging from the very large, where a screen is filled
up with 6 lines of 10 characters; to the standard 25 lines of 80 characters
(or more if you have an EGA boosted to 43 lines or 120 columns).  Intermediate
display modes are available on monitors which support graphics mode, such as
CGA, EGA, or Hercules.  You can cycle among all modes supported for your 
display at any time by pressing ALT-Z (for the ZOOM command).
BEDIT is part of the B-WARE family of software, which also includes BTYPE,
BDIR, and BLOOK.  BTYPE is a large display replacement for the DOS TYPE 
command; BDIR, for the DOS DIR command; and BLOOK is a quick text file 
browser.
