MEdit is a FREE, graphic, multi-window, cross-platform text editor. It was
initially written to demonstrate MGUI Designer capabilities, but now is evolved
enough to be considered an useful tool, especially in DOS and Linux.
MEdit is an 'easy to use' text editor, not a powerful editor like 'vi'.

Features

- Multi window editing
- PullDown Menu with accelerator keys
- Cut & paste with the standard keystrokes:
 <Ctrl+C>, <Ctrl+V>, <Ctrl+X> and <Ctrl+Ins>, <Shift+Ins>, <Shift+Del>
- Cut & Paste with other applications in multitasking envs (Windows, Linux)
- Goto line
- Search forward/backward case sensitive/unsensitive
- Replace
- Colors & fonts customization
- Multi-level Undo/Redo
- Printing
- Auto indent
- Source code supplied
- FreeWare
- Anti-virus checksum at startup activated for DJGPP version
  (MGUI full license feature). If the program is corrupted by a virus, then
  it terminates immediately.

MEdit uses the EDIT Object in the MGUI library which has currently no
optimization for large text. This Object keeps the text in a unique stream and
treats it with standard C functions, so MAXINT is currently the maximum size
for the file to edit (32KB for 16 bit environments like Borland BGI and Windows
3.1). However, the executable medit.exe in this archive, compiled with DJGPP,
is a DOS 32 bit DPMI application. I had no problems editing files with over
4000 lines and over 150KB size.


USAGE

Simply run it, with an optional filename argument, and use it like any GUI
text editor.
A few window management functions are coded in this version of MGUI library.
These are window moves, close, maximize/restore and the following keystroke
actions:

<Alt+F10>       causes the active window to be maximized/restored.
<Alt+F4>        generates the window manager close message (as in Windows).
<Alt+F2>        causes a redraw in all open windows.
<Alt+F1>        circulates windows.
<Alt+drag>      resizes the window on which the mouse button is pressed.

BUGS AND SUGGESTIONS

I use MEdit extensively in DOS and Linux environments, so I have already fixed
several bugs. If you find any problem using MEdit or you have suggestions for
some extensions, please report to me (morellov@mbox.vol.it).
Stay tuned in to MGUI home page if you need informations about latest release
and ftp sites where you can find MGUI and MEdit.
