- SuperPad by Douglas Boling
-
- PURPOSE:
- SuperPad is a replacement for Microsoft Windows' Notepad that
- can edit files of any size. It also offers command line switches so you
- can configure it for use with a Windows batch language.
- ===========================================================Revision History:
-
- 1.0 Initial Release
- 1.1 Bug fixes
- removed problem OutputDebugString calls
- fixed overstrike of non-char keys
- added menu del routine
- ===========================================================
- USAGE:
- To install SuperPad, simply copy the executable file SPAD.EXE
- to a directory in your path. You may also want to add a Program Manager
- icon for SuperPad. The optional command line switches are as follows:
-
- SuperPad [filename] [/Ln] [/Cn] [/R+|-] [V] [/F] [/P] [/Tn] [/W+|-]
- The filename parameter specifies the file to be edited by SuperPad.
- The /L (line) and /C (column) switches let you specify the line and
- column where SuperPad is positioned when it opens a file. The /R
- (read-only) switch prevents files from being modified. You can change
- the status using the Read Only menu item. The /V switch is similar to
- the /R switch except that the read-only nature of the session cannot
- be modified through the Read Only menu item.
- The /F (fixed) and /P (proportional) switches let you specify the type
- of font used to display the file. The /T switch lets you set the tab
- size. The last switch, /W, tells SuperPad whether it should wrap lines
- longer than the width of the SuperPad window. The /W+ switch tells
- SuperPad to wrap lines within the window; /W- tells SuperPad to use
- a horizontal scroll bar instead of wrapping.
- FILES: SPAD.EXE-SuperPad's executable program file.
- SPAD.DOC-Just the documentation file for SuperPad.
- SPAD.ZIP-The program, documentation, and source code files
- for SuperPad all wrapped up in a .ZIP file.
