Initialization file: TIMETRAC.INI
 Initialization File: MULTEDIT.INI

When you change any options on the options screen, they are saved to the MULTEDIT.INI in your MultiEdit directory.

The MULTEDIT.INI flag is an ASCII text file, which should not be edited since values read from this file are not validated.  If an item is deleted from the file, MultEdit will replace it with a default value.

The following information is saved to the MULTEDIT.INI file:

MultiEdit:

Maximized Child: Tells if the startup code window is maximized.

ToolBar: Tells MultiEdit whether to display the tool bar or not.

Dialog Filter: Tells MultiEdit what selections to put in the file dialog boxes.  Do not change this unless you know what you are doing.  If you mess it up, delete the line and MultiEdit will replace it with a default.

Font:

Details about the default font used for all MultiEdit windows and printing.

Window:

Position of the MultiEdit windows at startup.  This is saved every time you exit.

Registration:

Encrypted information that tells the program if you are registered.  Do not change these entries as it will render your program unregistered.  Use the Registration screen to enter this data.  If you want to re-enter your registration information, delete this section.

Old Files:

This is where MultiEdit keeps a list of recently used files.  Every time a file is opened or saved, it is put at position 1.


 Registration

MultiEdit for Windows is distributed as "shareware."  It is not free software.  You are being given a chance to use this program for a period of thirty (30) days before buying it.  If after this time you continue to use MultiEdit, you are expected to register it.  Registration gives you the right to continue to use this software as well as news and discounts on future upgrades.  You are encouraged to distribute this software, providing it is distributed in its entirety and without charge (except for media and handling, if applicable).  I reserve the right to change these restrictions in future versions.

If you find this product useful and continue to use MultiEdit after thirty days, you are required to register it by making a payment of $10 (US) to me.  Include an additional $3 (US) if you would like the most recent version mailed to you.  This fee will license one copy of MultiEdit for use on any one computer at any one time.
