The Multi-Edit Demo is now shipped in compressed form. The program
INSTALL.EXE will automatically perform the extractions and install
Multi-Edit onto your disk for you.
The Multi-Edit Demo will NOT run from a 360k or 720k floppy. DEMO will
fit on a 1.2m or larger floppy with no problem.
ABOUT THE DEMO:
Unlike other "demo" disks you might have received, this
Multi-Edit demo is truly a FULLY FUNCTIONAL copy of the
editor! ANY SIZE FILE may be loaded, edited and saved.
The differences between the demo and the full product are:
1. The introductory screens, which may not be bypassed.
2. The on-line help and user's guide is more limited, and
there is no macro language reference manual.
3. The following advanced features are not included: Network
Support, Macro Debugger, Print formatter, Spell checker and
Communications Module.
4. Configuration changes last only for the current session and
may not be saved.
5. Technical support and maintenance updates are not included
6. The DEMO takes much longer to load, and uses more memory
than the regular Multi-Edit.
7. The macro compiler and macro source is not included.
To order the full package call: 1-800-899-0100
EVOLVE DEMO
The Demo now contains a fully functional demo of the add-on
product EVOLVE. This is a super-charged programming
environment for Xbase languages Clipper, Dbase, Dbase for
Windows, FoxPro and Arago. You'll notice upon startup of
Multi-Edit that you are prompted for one of 4 function keys.
Choose the one for Evolve to enable the Evolve Demo!
BRIEF AND WORDSTAR KEYSTROKE EMULATION:
The Demo now includes Brief and Wordstar keystroke emulation
capability. To enable, use one of the following command lines:
ME /R BRIEF
ME /R WORDSTAR
Note: When you purchase Multi-Edit, the emulation can be saved
permanently, so you don't have to use one of the above command
lines.
A NOTE ON MOUSE SUPPORT:
Please check out our mouse support. It is fully explained in
the online help. Some examples of what you can do with your
mouse:
Click anywhere on the top two lines of the screen to
pop up the main menu.
Drag the corner of a window to resize it, or drag the
top of the window to move it entirely.
Mark blocks of text.
Move your cursor through a file.
Click on the scroll bar to easily move through a file.
** COMMON PROBLEMS AND SOLUTIONS **
1. You go into Multi-edit and your keyboard locks up OR your key
repeat seems to be malfunctioning. You should try the
following command line switches:
Some special TSR's, and older PC clones, will not work if
Multi-Edit trys to use the enhanced keyboard functions. If you
experience keyboard problems, try the /EN switch.
/EN = Don't try to use enhanced keyboard
Some special ANSI.SYS replacements, and some unusual PC clones,
have major problem when attempting to alter the keyboard repeat
speed. If you experience keyboard problems, try the /KN switch
(/KY is the default).
/KN = Don't change key speed, /KY = Change key speed
2. If you are using EMS/XMS, and have already tried the command
line switches listed above, and Multi-edit is still acting
strange, it's probably due to a conflict between Multi-edit and
your EMS/XMS driver. Try starting Multi-Edit with the /EMSOFF
command line switch.
MULTI-EDIT AND OS/2
There is a problem with Multi-Edit and IBM OS/2 version 2.0 ("GA")
with the "Service Pack", otherwise known as the IBM OS/2 Base Operating
System version 2.00.1 at CSD Level XRX6055 (you can find your current
CSD level by typing "SYSLEVEL" at the prompt in any OS/2 or DOS
character-mode session). If you are using this version, you will not be
able to load a file whose fully-qualified name is longer than 31
characters. This is a bug in OS/2's emulation of DOS's INT21/4E
("FindFirst") call. The problem has been acknowledged and corrected by
IBM. We recommend that you check with your IBM Representative for
further information on updating.
