- INTRODUCTION:
- -------------
- TextPad aims to provide the power and functionality to satisfy your most
- demanding text editing requirements. It is Windows hosted, and comes in
- 16 and 32-bit editions. Huge files can be edited by either - just choose
- the edition that works best with your PC. The 32-bit edition is only
- limited by virtual memory, and it will work with Win32s and Windows 95.
-
- TextPad has been implemented according to the Windows 95 user interface
- guidelines, so great attention has been paid to making it easy for both
- beginners and experienced users. In-context help is available for all
- commands, and in-context menus pop-up with the right mouse button. The
- multi-document interface allows multiple files to be edited
- simultaneously, with up to 2 views on each file. You can drag and drop
- text between files.
-
- In addition to the usual cut and paste capabilities, you can correct the
- most common typing errors with commands to change case, and transpose
- words,characters and lines. Other commands let you indent blocks of
- text, split or join lines, and insert whole files. Any change can be
- undone or redone, right back to the first one made. Visible bookmarks
- can be put on lines.
-
- It also has a customizable tools menu, and integral file compare and
- search commands, with hypertext jumps from the matched text to the
- corresponding line in the source file (ideal for integrating compilers).
-
- To find out more, install TextPad by referring to the instructions below,
- and then read the introduction in the on-line help file.
