- This editor is not free. After a trial period of 30 days trying
- the program you must register. This means transferring 10 Dutch
- guilders on my account. Seen IDE.REG for more information about
- registration. Not registering means you are breaking the
- copyright laws. I did NOT build in any reminders or something
- like that, i didn't criple the program. I think this has no use.
- Please just think about it. It is not expensive. and you
- help me a lot!

- The Program
- """""""""""
- FILE_ID.DIZ is a file which you find more and more inside
- archives. Esspecially the archives spread through BBS's. The file
- usually (and should) contain a precise description of the
- program (files) it is supplied with. The description is limited
- in lines and in width because most BBS systems only have a small
- part for their file-descriptions. So you can not use an ordinary
- text editor that goes up to 80 chars. Creating those FILE_ID.DIZ
- files with such editor is usually a drag. You must pay attention
- to the size and the word wrap is limited. I encountered this
- problem so I searched for a solution. I found some programs, but
- they did not satisfy me. The size was to limited, no word wrap
- etc. So I designed my own editor.
-
- The editor is simple. It is an always insert, always word wrapping
- box of text you can edit.
- If you have suggestions, or you miss something usefull in the
- program, please feel free to contact me.
-
-
