Version 2.0 – Released to the public domain 12^th December 1997

FmEdit95 Help File and Main Featues – Note: This is just a brief help file and more help will be added in due course (time permitting), within the actual program there are plenty of hint’s.

Some tip’s, toggle F5 & F6 for full screen / normal screen, when editing an html file, press F3 to view it, most display window ‘s have a pop up menu, use the right hand mouse button to envoke it, take great care when deleting files from the Multiple Files option, I did not as I found out to my cost?

FmEdit95 was written and programmed by Raymond Allan using Borland Delphi – Version 2.0

FmEdit95 evolved around a project I was doing at work, I needed a flexible editor to manipulate large label files, I eventually found the Delphi components required in the form of LEdit32 , this in turn allowed me to achieve my requirements.

I then got thinking about various Editor's, File Managers, Image Viewer's, Html Viewers/Editors and Zip Utility Programs I have used or am currently using, since I had found the components for the Editor, I started searching the various Delphi site's looking for components I could use to build one complete program in which I had total control over, the net result is FmEdit95, so instead of having to use 5 or 6 programs I now only use FmEdit95.

Although FmEdit95 is geared toward's my own need's, I decided to release it to the public domain so that other's could enjoy the use of the program.

It may not be as classy or as functional as some other program's, but FmEdit95 is a very robust program and does the job required, I do not intend to stop working on FmEdit95, and will be constantly looking to add new component's, improve the interface and to make it more user friendly.

If you think it can be improved in anyway, or have any comments to make, drop me an e:mail and I will try to incorporate them into FmEdit95.

All components used in FmEdit95 are available from the various author's home page's or from various Delphi site's on the Web, and are used by kind permission from the respective authors. (See About Box)
