- .INTRODUCTION
- .
- . Blackbeard is a programmer's editor. It performs the
- .editing tasks a programmer needs, in as fast and efficient
- .manner as possible. It works the way you expect it to. The
- .primary use for Blackbeard is for source code editing and it
- .does all the things you would expect. It also has some word
- .processing features; these were used to create this
- .documentation.
- .
- .Distribution and Registration
- .
- . Software copyright violation is rampant. This is why we
- .have created Blackbeard. Because Blackbeard is a superior
- .text editor and available for free distribution, there should
- .be little need to pirate copyrighted software to obtain
- .advanced text editing features. Please feel free to give
- .Blackbeard to your friends. We are counting on you as a
- .participant in the largest distribution network in the nation
- .(the owners and users of PCs) to make Blackbeard a popular
- .product. With strong user support, Blackbeard will be
- .enhanced with new features and capabilities making it the
- .editor of choice.
- .
- . For twenty (20) dollars you can become a registered owner
- .of Blackbeard. For your $20.00 you will appease your
- .conscience about using unregistered software, provide support
- .for future enhancements, receive a distinctive Blackbeard
- .collectable, a registration sticker, and a copy of the latest
- .version of Blackbeard. The file FORM.TXT can be used as an
- .order form.

- .DOCUMENTATION
- .
- . Blackbeard does not come with a voluminous manual. The
- .design team decided that a good editor should not need a large
- .reference manual; most of the documentation is built in. This
- .file explans the features of Blackbeard.
- .
- . The Blackbeard diskette should have the following files:
- .

- .THE MOUSE
- . A mouse is a productive device for cursor movement and
- .command selection. The mouse makes interaction with the
- .screen simpler, faster, and more spontaneous.
- .
- . Moving the mouse is as natural as moving your hand. As you
- .move the mouse, the cursor moves on the screen.
- .
- . The right button on the mouse calls up the menu. The left
- .button selects items. The pop-up menu is is placed at the
- .cursor location, your eye's focal point. The menu is the
- .inverse color of the current window. The menu item currently
- .selected is the color of the current window.
- .
- . When the cursor is positioned over a menu item, pressing
- .the left button selects a command.
- .
- . The right button on the mouse escapes from the menu without
- .selecting an item. This button also returns to the main mouse
- .menu from within a sub-menu.
- .
- . Blackbeard now includes an INTEGRAL MOUSE DRIVER for the
- .Microsoft Mouse. The mouse will be automatically available,
- .if the Mouse driver is loaded. These buttons correspond to
- .Blackbeard commands.
- .

- .Mouse Systems
- .
- . The Blackbeard distribution diskette includes a mouse menu
- .driver for the Mouse Systems Mouse. To use the mouse install
- .the PC mouse menu driver by running MOUSESYS (described in
- .your Mouse Systems Manual). Run the Blackbeard menu program
- .with the following command:
- .
- . M_BB
- .
- . Mouse movements are tranlsated into cursor movements; the
- .left button translates to enter selects menu items; the right
- .button translates to escape pop-ups and exits menus.
- .
- .Final Remarks
- .
- . Blackbeard was written for you. We are eager to hear your
- .comments (yes, we read each one -- sometimes we even implement
- .your suggestions). We encourage to avoid pirating software, and
- .will strive to keep Blackbeard up to date. Please feel free to give
- .Blackbeard to your friends.
- .
- . For twenty (20) dollars you can become a registered owner
- .of Blackbeard. For your $20.00 you will appease your
- .conscience about using unregistered software, provide support
- .for future enhancements, receive a distinctive Blackbeard
- .collectable, and a copy of the latest version of Blackbeard.
