WHAT IS PREDITOR?
   PrEditor is a programmer's editor that can be configured to syntax colour
   in just about any programming or script language.  It comes with a pre-
   defined syntax colouring configuration file that can easily be modified for
   your own purposes.  It has project support that allows you to organise your
   files the way that you want.

DISTRIBUTION PACKAGE
   The distribution package is in the form of predxx.exe which is a self-
   extracting archive.  The "xx" refers to the version number, so pred10.exe
   would be PrEditor version 1.0.

   The installer should deliver the following files...

      PrEditor.exe          The editor
      MFCX.dll              General purpose libraries used by PrEditor
      ReadMe.txt            This file
      PrEditor.syntax       The syntax colour configuration file
      Licence.txt           The licence agreement
      Register.txt          How to register
      Register.exe          Register application
      Register.hlp          Register application help
      MFC40.dll             DLL used by PrEditor (put in the system directory)
      MSVCRT.dll            DLL used by PrEditor (put in the system directory) 
            
HOW TO INSTALL?
   Run predxx.exe.  It will copy the relevent setup files to a temporary
   location (default to 'Setup' under where predxx.exe is).  Run setup.exe
   to start the installation process, then follow the instructions.  After
   installation you can delete the files in the 'Setup' folder created by 
   predxx.exe.
   
HOW TO UNINSTALL?
   Simple, though why would you? ;-)  Use the Control Panel's Add/Remove
   Software applet.
   
   To manually uninstall PrEditor (do at your own risk!)
   
     . delete the installation folder (usually "c:\Program Files\PrEditor")
     . remove the registry key using REGEDIT.EXE

       //HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Young Associates/PrEditor

   It is recommended that you leave the two system files (mfc40.dll and 
   msvcrt.dll) in the system folder because you may have other applications that
   use them.

Thank you for trying and using PrEditor.  If you find it useful, have any 
suggestions, or (heaven forbid) you find any bugs, then I would like to hear 
from you - whether you register the product or not.
