Famous programmer's editor KEdit was optimized for Windows NT. KEDIT for Windows has been available since 1995. The DOS and OS/2 versions of KEDIT have been available since the 1980s. KEDIT for Windows Version 1.5 32-Bit Demo for Windows 95 and Windows NT is now available from Mamnsfield Software Group. The only difference between the demo and the production version of KEDIT for Windows is that there is a 75-line limit on the files that you can save to diskTo download it click the logo below.
KEDIT for Windows is a general purpose Windows text editor. Text mode DOS and OS/2 versions of KEDIT are also available. KEDIT works with standard text files, features a powerful set of commands, and provides the ability to edit and view several files at a time, to mark and manipulate blocks of text, and to tailor the editing environment to suit your needs.
KEDIT Versions and Features
KEDIT is Mansfield Software Group's text editor. We offer three versions of our KEDIT text editor:
KEDIT for Windows 1.5
KEDIT 5.0 for DOS
KEDIT 5.0 for OS/2
The three versions share a powerful command set, compatibility with IBM's mainframe XEDIT editor, and a macro language that is a subset of the REXX language.
KEDIT for Windows has been available since 1995. The DOS and OS/2 versions of KEDIT have been available since the 1980s.
KEDIT for Windows maintains the features of the previous versions, and takes full advantage of the Windows interface. For example, KEDIT for Windows supports pull-down menus, toolbars, dialog boxes, drag and drop editing, and clipboard.
Column marking, boundary marking, and multiple verify ranges make it easy to view, move, copy, sort, shift, uppercase, or lowercase columns of data, and you can view, insert, delete, search for, and replace text in particular columns.
KEDIT's user interface is fully configurable. Dozens of options let you tailor the interface to suit your preferences. You can use the mouse, menus, and dialog boxes to access the power of KEDIT, or, if you prefer, you can use the keyboard and command line.
A flexible macro language is built into KEDIT. A large subset of IBM's REXX language makes it easy to redefine the keyboard and automate common editing tasks. You can replace any of the default key definitions with your own macros, putting the power of REXX at your fingertips.
KEDIT for Windows costs $159, as does KEDIT for DOS. The OS/2 version, which also includes the DOS version, costs $189. Shipping is additional.
One special aspect of KEDIT is its compatibility with XEDIT, the IBM mainframe text editor used under VM/CMS. Many of XEDIT's commands and features have been implemented in KEDIT.
When you purchase a full copy of KEDIT for Windows 1.5, you will receive a complete set of KEDIT for Windows documentation, including the 300-page User's Guide and 400-page Reference Manual. The contents of both of these manuals are available online in the KEDIT for Windows Help file included with this demo.
This demo version of KEDIT for Windows is provided solely for the purpose of helping you evaluate the capabilities of KEDIT, and you have permission to use the demo only for that purpose.

** Getting Started with the KEDIT for Windows Demo
Assuming you select the default options when you run the KEDIT demo's Setup program, you can run the demo module by selecting the KEDIT for Windows item from the Windows 95 or Windows NT Start Menu. (Under Windows NT 3.51, a KEDIT for Windows group is added to the Program Manager.) Remember that the demo version contains all of the features of the full product, and can work with any file that the full product can work with, but there is a 75-line limit on the size of the files that can be saved.
Complete documentation for KEDIT for Windows is in the Help file, KEDITW.HLP, that is included as part of this demo. Here are some hints about where to get started in the documentation:

If you have never used KEDIT before, you should look at the 'Getting Started' and 'Basic Features' sections of the Help file for important introductory information.
Users of IBM's XEDIT editor should also read the 'XEDIT Users' section of the Help file for information about KEDIT's XEDIT compatibility features.

You should also be aware of the Options Interface menu item; it displays a dialog box that lets you adjust some of KEDIT for Windows' keyboard and mouse behavior to be more like that of text mode KEDIT.
