===== Information for Users ("READ-ME") ================

This package contains the 4EDIT(TM) file description editor
(Version 2.0), by XD Systems. This document contains only a brief
description of the package and its features, along with instructions for
its installation.

If you've ever wished you could rapidly add file descriptions to many
files at one sitting, then 4EDIT is the program for you. 4EDIT is a
windowed editor for file descriptions. It has many features that
make it flexible and easy to use. The program contains extensive online
help. Just type 4EDIT at the command line and then press F1 to enter
the Help system.

4EDIT is a shareware program. This evaluation version includes
all features of the program, and is not crippled in any way. You may
use it for up to 30 days, without charge See ORDER.FRM for more
details). If you like the program, and wish to continue its use after
this evaluation period, you are required to pay for the program. Any
fee you may have paid to others (disk vendors, dealers, etc.) to obtain
this evaluation version was a fee for their copying and distribution
services, rather than a payment for continued use of the program. All
registered users receive the latest version of 4EDIT, notice of major
upgrades, and help by phone, mail or E-mail when needed.

Register yourself as a 4EDIT user by sending $15 plus $3 P&H ($6 if
outside North America) to:

To install 4EDIT on your computer, simply copy the files to your hard

mainly of interest to BBS operators and distributors.





----- WHAT'S NEW SINCE 4EDIT VERSION 1.11-------------------------------

Full Mouse Support

Pop-up Help by pressing F1

Extended Edit Window.
The edit window shows the entire description. You can edit a larger
description than maximum length. This feature is useful when you have
copied text from the file viewer. When the description is too long, the
displayed character count will change color. Excess characters will not
be written to the description file.

However, the Editor is not always active, as it was in previous
versions. To enter the editor, you have several options:

1. Position the Highlight bar on the desired line and press F4
or the right arrow key.
2. Move the mouse cursor to the description area of the desired
line and press the left mouse button twice (double click).

Change directories from within 4EDIT
Position highlight bar on a directory line and press F2 or position the
mouse to he desired line and double click on the left half of the
screen.

Configurable maximum description length.
The allowable range is 20 to 200 characters.

File Viewer
Files can be viewed from within 4EDIT by pressing F3 or by positioning
the mouse to the desired line and double clicking or pressing the left
arrow key. Text from the file can be copied and pasted into any file
description.

Support for batch files
4Edit will now accept input from a file containing an ASCII list of
files to be edited, created in an editor or by another program.

Description Attributes
4EDIT will now leave the description file unhidden if it finds it
that way.

Colorized Directory
Three groups of file types can be displayed in distinctive colors in the
4EDIT directory display.

Columnar Descriptions
4DOS makes it difficult to create multiline descriptions other than
simple wordwrapped text in two ways. The description cannot contain a
carriage return or a line feed. Furthermore, if you pad the description
with spaces or tabs, 4DOS will do its best to word wrap anyway.

To get around these constraints, 4EDIT offers two features, a "hard"
space (use the shifted space key), at which 4DOS will not word wrap,
and a simulated carriage return (use Shift-Enter). With these two
tools, you can get the layout that you want.

  1. Very nice! Thank you for this wonderful archive. I wonder why I found it only now. Long live the BBS file archives!

  2. This is so awesome! 😀 I’d be cool if you could download an entire archive of this at once, though.

  3. But one thing that puzzles me is the “mtswslnkmcjklsdlsbdmMICROSOFT” string. There is an article about it here. It is definitely worth a read: http://www.os2museum.com/wp/mtswslnk/
