-
- installation.
- =============
- Installation is quite that simple. Copy the file EDIT32.EXE into a directory
- contained in your systemvariable PATH. Copy the file EDIT32.HLP
- into a directory contained in your systemvariable HELP.
- Both systemvariables are set in the file CONFIG.SYS. If you change
- CONFIG.SYS, shut down OS/2 and reboot the system.
-
- E_EDIT.
- =======
- EDIT32 is based on the programmer's editor E_EDIT by Brian R. Anderson.
- EDIT32 was ported from the 16 bit into the 32-Bit world of OS/2.
- Essantial innovations are: use of standard file dialogs, support of
- long file names, an asterix showing if the file inside the editor is
- change since last load/save, and the introduction of a German version.
-
- translation.
- ============
- This editor should be translated in many languages. If you don't find a
- version in your mother tongue, there a two possibilities: use the editor
- in a foreign language or translate it.
-
- EDIT32.EXE was compiled with the ICC of IBM. If you have this compiler
- installed you can simply rebuild EDIT32.EXE with NMAKE. For this you have
- to change to the directory SOURCE. You need a little experience in
- programming C! For the translation you have to change four files:
- -- EDIT.H
- -- EDIT.C
- -- EDIT32.IPF (in directory ENGLISH)
- -- EDIT.RC
-
- In EDIT.H a switch must be inserted:
- /* #define English */
- /* #define Deutsch */
- #define <yourLanguage>
-
- EDIT.C contains some constants. Copy the part #ifdef English ... #endif
- or #ifdef Deutsch ... #endif and translate the texts of the constants.
- Change the word "English" or "Deutsch" to <yourLanguage>.
-
- EDIT.RC contains dialog boxes and the menu. Copy all parts
- #ifdef English ... #endif or #ifdef Deutsch ... #endif and translate it.
- Eventually you have to correct the size of the dialog boxes. The German
- boxes are a little bit larger than the English ones.
-
- EDIT.IPF contains all the help texts. Please translate.
-
- If you have build a translated version of EDIT32, make it accessible to
- many people. Put a copy include the sources into the Internet. I hope to
- find lots of translations until Christmast 1994!
