Tsukuba, Ibaraki, Japan 8 January 2003 ==================================================================== This file contains brief information about EmEditor. EMEDITOR CONCEPT =================================================== We have been developing text editors for many years. In our opinion, a text editor should run fast, open files fast, be capable of editing files of any size, be customizable and offer essential features that people need and will use on a day-to-day basis. Many text editors sacrifice speed and lightness for an ever-increasing number of features that most of us may never need. Our priority is the optimization of EmEditor and we spend nearly as much time optimizing EmEditor as developing it further. There are other reasons why EmEditor is so fast. While many text editors use Multiple Document Interface (MDI), we stick to Single Document Interface (SDI). We do this to ensure that EmEditor stays light and loads fast. Using MDI would lead to a bloated application requiring a significantly longer time to load. We also do not use the Microsoft Foundation Class (MFC) library that many other developers use. The MFC library definitely makes things easier for software developers but it doesn't result in an application optimized with the end user in mind. Along with SDI and a conscious attempt to steer clear of any development tools that would slow performance, we have also put a lot of thought into the structure of EmEditor. EmEditor's performance benefits from a modular structure and two versions of the core program specifically tailored for the installed flavor of Windows. EmEditor consists of several modules so that, for instance, adding many custom options in the properties dialog box will not deteriorate the performance of the core program that handles the main EmEditor window. On top of this, the core program comes in two optimized versions; one is tweaked to perform best in a Windows NT/2000/XP environment and the other is tuned for Windows 95/98/Me. Although distributed archives contain both versions, the setup program detects the installed OS before it copies the appropriate version of EmEditor to the program folder. All this effort in optimizing EmEditor has resulted in a core program as slim as possible (256KB). This means we can include two optimized versions in the same downloadable archive without worrying about long downloads or bloated performance. In our opinion, the "editing" of text is still the principle duty of a text editor. The result of all our effort to optimize EmEditor means it is very capable of doing exactly that. There are no limits

on the size of text files, the number of lines, or even the number of columns. EmEditor can open and edit several megabyte-size files and can do it regardless of whether or not the files even have returns. Unlike some other text editors, it is capable of scrolling vertically and horizontally millions of lines and columns. Of course, EmEditor loads in a fraction of a second and you can open dozens of separate EmEditor windows without running low on resources. While editing text is EmEditor's reason for being, we understand that people have a variety of "text" to edit from web content developers editing HTML or Perl scripts to programmers writing code to people just looking for a handy alternative to Notepad. Our dilemma has been trying to satisfy customer requests for specific features while making sure the program stays as slim and as fast as ever. Our solution has been to introduce EmEditor "plug-ins" so that functions for specific needs can be added and extended. Plug-ins are sophisticated enough to ensure that almost any need can be met with a combination of EmEditor and the right plug-ins. Even spell checkers are available as plug-ins. Along with requests for specific features, we also hear from people who want a version of EmEditor in their own language and people who need to edit text in more than one language. While many text editors can open Unicode files, most of them simply encode Unicode to ANSI during the reading phase and then work in ANSI internally. The result is that you cannot edit a mixture of languages. Rather than do that, we have gone all the way and developed true Unicode text editing abilities in EmEditor. Perhaps one very important feature of EmEditor has nothing to do with modules or Unicode. And it is very possible that it goes completely unnoticed until a user has a question or makes a suggestion. We are very responsive. We welcome feedback. We reply to every single e-mail that needs an answer and usually we respond within one working day; often within a few hours. The developer, Yutaka Emura, often directly answers technical questions and suggestions often make their way into later versions of EmEditor. Without the feedback and support of our registered customers, we wouldn't still be around and growing strong. We hope the support we offer our registered customers reflects our appreciation. Well, seeing is believing as they say. Give EmEditor a spin and we're sure you will see why so many people are selecting EmEditor as their text-editing tool of choice. And if you still have any questions, feel free to e-mail us or post messages to our mailing list and we will be glad to help. WHAT IS EMEDITOR? ================================================== * Unicode Support EmEditor v3 supports Unicode, which is a satisfactory encoding method to edit multiple languages. Not only can you open Unicode files but also you can edit files as Unicode so you can display multiple languages at the same time. Moreover, the new EmEditor supports UTF-8 and UTF-7 encodings and foreign language code pages available on Windows. * Plug-ins EmEditor v3 supports plug-ins, which extend the functions of EmEditor.

The plug-ins are DLL files and when you use EmEditor these plug-ins can be used by moving them into the plug-ins folder which was installed with EmEditor. The plug-ins help is available so that you can make your own plug-ins for your needs. * Best Quality While EmEditor is a fast and light text editor, its reliability and capabilities are of the highest quality. EmEditor can open files of unlimited size (depending only on memory). Undo and redo counts are adjustable. Other useful functions include wrap/no wrap, autosave, and backup. EmEditor's text editing features offer the best alternative to Notepad. * Keyword Highlighting The Bat, C#, C++, CSS, HTML, Ini, Java, JavaScript, JSP, Pascal (Delphi), Perl, PerlScript, PHP, Python, Ruby, SQL, TeX (LaTeX), VBScript, WindowsScript, x86 Assembler, XML configurations as well as a Text configuration are predefined. In the HTML configuration, the inside of ASP tags (<% ... %>) and regular script tags (<SCRIPT> ... </SCRIPT>) will be highlighted according to which scripting language the LANGUAGE= attribute specifies (JavaScript, VBScript or PerlScript). Moreover, HTML-Embedded special syntax is available for JSP and PHP configurations. * OLE drag and drop EmEditor supports OLE drag and drop, thus you can copy or move selected text between EmEditor and other supported applications such as Wordpad and Internet Explorer. * Other EmEditor features are: Quick Macro. Keyboard, toolbar, menu, font and color customization. The window can be split to a maximum of 4 panes. Clickable URLs and mail addresses. Microsoft IntelliMouse aware. Can print files. Box-select mode (Mouse select with Alt key). Can define multiple configurations and associate file extensions. Find in files (grep). Can open recent used files from the tray icon on the task bar. Supports Global IME (Input Method Editor). Shortcut keys to insert accent marks and special characters.

EmEditor has earned the "Designed for Windows XP/2000/ME/98/NT" logo.
