                             --------------------

       Description:
       ------------
           Smooth Editor is an ASCII-text editor with accelerated smooth
           scrolling. You'll never see another editor look this good. It also
           has:
           -XMS memory use, so virtually unlimited file lengths
           -Extensive Undo and Redo functions
           -Multiple files
           -Symbol table, so you can easily use other than standard characters
           -All other functions you'd expect from a decent editor.
           Just check out the demo!


       Syntax:
       -------
           SE  [filename]
           Without filename, Smooth Editor will present the File Open Window.
           Filename can contain wildcards, SE will open all matching files.

       
       Demo:
       -----
           To see the demo, make sure the SE.INI is not in the path or in the
           program directory. If it is you can just delete it, since SE will
           create a new one with all the default values.
           When you now start SE, it will ask you whether you want to see the
           demo.


       Disclaimer:
       -----------
           This program is provided AS IS without any warranty, expressed or
           implied, including but not limited to fitness for a particular
           purpose.  Dubbeldam Software is not responsible for anything that
           may happen when you use Smooth Editor, including hardware damage or

           may not be changed in any way.


       SHAREWARE:
       ==========
           Smooth Editor is released as Shareware. After a thirty day trial
           period, you must register Smooth Editor or discontinue using it.
           If you register Smooth Editor you will receive a registration code.
           With this code you can convert Smooth Editor to a registered copy,
           removing the shareware nag (the swinging text when you close SE).
           One registered copy of Smooth Editor may be used by a single person
           on one or more computers (this does not apply to site licenses).
           You will also receive a 3.5" disk with the latest version of Smooth
           editor.

               Please be sure you pay the right amount in the right currency.
               These amounts and currencies are written in the separate 
               sections for each kind of cheque below.

               In some countries it may not be possible to send the registra-
               tion form together with a money order. In that case send the 
               registration form separately to the mail address mentioned before.
               SE will be mailed when both the transfer and the form have arri-
               ved.

              -Eurocheque: In the amount of HFL 32.- (Dutch Guilders, this is
                           equivalent to $20 US). Made out to Dubbeldam 
                           Software. 

              -US Cheque:  In the amount of $20 US. Must be drawn or paid

                           tional $7.50 US has to be paid. This makes for a
                           total of HFL 44.-(Dutch Guilders, this is equivalent
                           to $27.50 US). Made out to Dubbeldam Software.

                           through the mail. So I do not advice to send cash.

       Site licenses:
       --------------
           Site license fees are based on the number of computers at the site 
           to be licensed. For example, if you would like to use Smooth Editor 
           on any machine within a department, division, building or group of 
           buildings, then the fee would be based on the total number of PC's 
           within that department, division, building or group of buildings. 
           This assumes that the site wholly belongs to the person or company 
           requesting the license. Corporate-wide licenses are also available 
           and are based upon the total number of PC's owned by the corporation
           or government agency.

           The prices for Site Licenses are:

           1-10 computers: $80 US
           More than 8 computers: $8 US per computer.
            
           For this price you will receive only one copy of the program, with a
           registration code for the whole site.

           Site Licenses must be paid by any kind of cheque, made out in 
           $ US to Dubbeldam Software and mailed with the registration form to
           Dubbeldam Software, address below.

           For orders larger than for 100 computers, contact Dubbeldam 
           Software (preferably by E-mail) for a better price. For the (E-mail)
           address, see below.
