1. INTRODUCTION
===============

This is the qedit v2.7.0 port for OS/2 and eComStation.

QEdit is a multi-purpose text editor based on NEdit, which heavily relies on motif. 
Almost all features from NEdit have been ported to QEdit, including:
Customizable syntax highlighting for many types of text (c/c++, HTML, XML, Makefiles, Perl)
Automatic indentation
Text modification macros
View splitting (the ability to open multiple files, or copies of the same file in a single window)
Server mode (the ability to open multiple files with a single process)
Box selection (the ability to select a box of the text rather than consecutive lines). 
Note that this feature requires a fixed size font to be used in the main editor window.

Like for NEdit, the syntax highlighting, text indentation and macros are specific to a given 
type of input text (c/c++, HTML, etc.), use regular expressions to recognize text patterns and 
are loaded from external XML formatted files.

Some features from NEdit have not been ported to QEdit, the most important one being tabbing 
(the ability to open several files in the same window). 
A scheme similar to the one from Emacs has been adopted instead, which consists of 
having different files opened in different views (without tabs) for the same window, 
the views being oriented either vertically or horizontally and separated by resizable splitters. 
This combines nicely with NEdit feature to show the same file in different split views.

Some features have been added to QEdit which are not in NEdit:

spell-checking, either using a pop-up dialog, or using a dedicated syntax highlight for misspelled words.
toolbars, to provide fast access to the most commonly used features (New/Open/Save file, Undo/Redo,
Cut/Copy/Paste, ...)
collapsible blocks (the ability to expand/collapse part of the document that form a structural 
block depending on the document class)

This release has been almost entirely rewritten with respect to the original QEdit to meet the new
Qt-4 API.
