pEDIT - the personal EDITor

pEDIT COPYRIGHT 1989, 1990, 1991


This is a SHAREWARE distribution of pEDIT. Shareware is
NOT freeware; if you like pEDIT and use it on a regular basis
you must register. Type or print the file REGISTER.DOC for
information on how to register.

pEDIT *must* be installed on your system to function
properly. You should view the on-disk documentation before
attempting the install. Set your default to the path where
the pEDIT files reside and at the DOS prompt type:

PEDIT PEDIT.DOC

and press . You will get an error screen because the
initialization file PEDIT.INI does not yet exist. Press the
key to exit the error screen; you will see the first
screen of the documentation.

A default configuration will be in effect which uses the
following labelled keys:


Esc Do Command !enter command mode

Up Move Up !up a line
Down Move Down !down a line
Left Move Left !left one character
Right Move Right !right one character
Home Move Home !beginning of line
End Move End !end of line
Ctrl-Home Move Top !top of buffer
Ctrl-End Move Bottom !bottom of buffer

Del Erase Char !erase current character
Ins Change Mode !insert/overstrike
Pgup Prev Screen !scroll screen up
Pgdn Next Screen !scroll screen down

where Up, Down, Left and Right refer to the arrow keys. Press
and at the 'Command: ' prompt type:

FIND I N S T A L L

to search for the installation section of the manual. Use the
defined keys to move around in the file. When you are done,
press and type:

QUIT

You are now ready to begin the installation. If you have
a floppy-only system, you must first format two diskettes. Set
yourself to the disk/directory where the pEDIT distribution
files reside and, at the DOS prompt, type:

INSTALL

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

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

    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/
