After the original VEDIT hit the pages of BYTE magazine in 1980 it quickly
became the #1 programmer's editor. In January 1982, VEDIT was the first
editor available for the revolutionary IBM PC. Since then, tens of thousands
of programmers, engineers and writers have been enthusiastic users of VEDIT
and its successor VEDIT PLUS.

In 1993 we introduced VEDIT PLUS version 4.0 as the first and only
"universal file editor" that can edit any text or data file in a wide
variety of modes. Files up to 2000 Megabytes can be edited in five ASCII
modes, EBCDIC, Hex or Octal. Both "fixed length" and "variable length" data
records are supported.

The new VEDIT PLUS 5.0 for Windows and DOS adds overlapping windows, color
syntax highlighting, one-step file translations, sorting, improved
searching, more flexible printing, greater speed, and additional
capabilities for editing everything from programs to huge text, database and
binary files. HTML editing features have also been added.

Given that today's VEDIT PLUS can efficiently edit ANYTHING on your disk and
our 17 year track record, VEDIT PLUS is the last editor you will ever need.

VEDIT is actually a complete family of low cost, upwards compatible editors
consisting of VEDIT Jr., VEDIT and VEDIT PLUS. From this family you can
choose the best editor for your needs without compromising performance or
paying too much. It also provides a convenient upgrade path.

==>  Organizations that want the "same" editor for everyone can pick VEDIT
     or VEDIT Jr. for most users and VEDIT PLUS for their power users. There
     is no need to purchase an expensive editor for everyone.

==>  You can feel comfortable picking VEDIT Jr. or VEDIT today, because if
     your editing needs increase tomorrow, you can upgrade to a more
     powerful editor without having to unlearn anything!  You can upgrade to
     VEDIT or VEDIT PLUS within 3 months for the price difference.

==>  Even VEDIT Jr. can edit ANY text or data file.

For its price, VEDIT Jr. offers unmatched performance. It can edit text and
data files of any size, even 2 Gigabyte files!

Basic features include pull-down menus with "hot keys", mouse support with
scroll bars, context sensitive help, pop-up ASCII table, a configurable
keyboard and flexible, unlimited keystroke macros. Undo/redo up to 1000
keystrokes - keystroke by keystroke, line by line or deletion by deletion.
Automatic indent, parentheses matching and other special features speed
program development. Word processing includes word wrap, paragraph
formatting, justification, adjustable margins and printing. Run DOS
programs. Perform block operations by character, line, file or column. The
"look and feel" are extensively configurable with over 100 menu selectable
options.

VEDIT has all the features of VEDIT Jr. and the ability to simultaneously
edit up to 32 files at the same time. Resizable, overlapping windows allow
viewing multiple files or different parts of one file. Any window can be
toggled between five ASCII, EBCDIC, Hexadecimal and Octal modes. Search/
replace with sophisticated pattern matching or with regular expressions.

The "Wildfile" feature lets you automatically perform a search, search and
replace or other editing operation on large groups of files, e.g. all files
in a directory, all files in all subdirectories, even all files on your hard
disk.

The edit session save/restore lets you resume editing the same files at a
later time. One-step file translations permit using the EBCDIC, ANSI or a
custom-created table to translate all characters in a block or entire file.
VEDIT has just about every block function ever invented.

VEDIT's extensive compiler support integrates your favorite compilers,
assemblers, linkers, debuggers and Make utilities within VEDIT. It is very
flexible and automatically tracks compilation errors. The color syntax
highlighting is fully configurable for programming and non-programming
applications. The "ctags" feature lets you quickly look up symbols in
complex programs consisting of dozens, or even thousands, of files.

VEDIT PLUS adds a powerful C-like macro programming language. The macro
language is accessed via the "Command" mode and gives you editing power
which goes far beyond the capabilities of any other word processor. Complex
or repetitive editing tasks can be automated, such as numerous
search/replace operations on multiple files.

The macro language is an ideal application language for writing text
oriented programs such as translators, scanners, context sensitive file
mergers and much more. This entire tutorial/demo is a VEDIT PLUS macro. Even
the installation is written as a macro. Despite its power, the Command Mode
can be mastered by users with no previous programming experience.

While VEDIT does not let you develop your own "macros", all macros written
for VEDIT PLUS will also run under VEDIT. This is convenient in
organizations where VEDIT PLUS users can write custom macros for the VEDIT
users.

The DOS version of VEDIT PLUS also has easy-to-use disk sector editing. The
DOS version works almost identically to the Windows version and shares the
same configuration and keyboard layout files. It also has Win95 long filename
support and can directly access the Windows clipboard.

The comprehensive configuration lets you completely determine your own
keyboard layout and select numerous default settings to configure any VEDIT
Family editor to your particular hardware, applications and personal
preferences. Over 200 configuration options are available. By using the
available options and "keystroke macros", you can very closely emulate other
editors and word processors.

VEDIT for Windows supports Windows 3.1, Windows 95 and Windows NT with a
single version. Windows 95 long filenames are fully supported.

The DOS version is highly optimized for running with Windows and OS/2. The
Windows clipboard and Windows 95 long filenames are fully supported.

The QNX operating system is supplied with a custom version of VEDIT. VEDIT
PLUS is available as an option and includes integration for the Watcom C
compiler, linker, debugger and Make programs.

Discounts of 50% to 90% are available for additional copies and for network,
educational, OEM and site licensing.
