Quick Editor Version 2.2c

Safe Installation
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
None of the programs supplied in this package write to the operating
system or replace any component of the operating system. The only
requirement is that you place them all in the same directory / folder when
you first install it. None of the EXECUTABLE files use or write to the
REGISTRY. Quick Editor uses an INI file in its own directory.

Version 2.2 is a complete re-write as the source for version 2.0 was lost
on a dead scsi disk before it was backed up. In response to the feedback
from many people, a number of additions have been made to the startup
options which has made it more flexible in the way it can be used.

The miniature word wrap editor TheGun.Exe has been fully rewritten in
Microsoft assembler (MASM) and has extended search capacity.

In response to computer users who have some form of disability, Quick
Editor has had the hotkey support extended to cover all of the options on
both the File and Edit menus and the Text menu can be accessed by the
normal sequence Alt + T + Menu Hotkey. The tool bar buttons are now larger
and brightly coloured to improve their visibility.

You will need to set up the icon for Quick Editor from either the menu,
program group or the desktop to use it. It can of course be run directly
from either File Manager or Explorer. The other programs supplied as
accessories are all freestanding executable programs that can be
individually set up if desired.

The files included are,

QEDITOR.EXE    27136 bytes.   The main text editor executable file.
QEDITOR.INI     1310 bytes.   The test INI file for Quick Editor.
PRINTPI.DLL    11264 bytes.   Plug in DLL for printing if needed.
SETINI.EXE     18944 bytes.   The INI editor for QEDITOR.EXE
QEDITOR.HLP    48929 bytes.   The help file for Quick Editor.
THEGUN.EXE      6656 bytes.   The Notepad replacement text editor.
QETB.EXE       11193 bytes.   The text file browser.
TMENU.ZIP      11863 bytes.   Zip file with add on tools menu extender.

Each executable file is a true freestanding 32 bit EXE that require NO
RUNTIME DLLs at all. You do not have to download any other files at all to
use these programs.
