*******************************************
Thanks for downloading the DJGPP binaries of OSPlus Text Editor 2.0. The
OSPlus Text Editor started life as one of three applications in a free
collection of utilities I created back in February 2000 called OSPlus. Many
betas came and went and I ended up with OSPlus 1.0. Soon after, I released
'OSPlus Text Editor 1.0 Standalone' - a small, real-mode version of the Text
Editor (the OSPlus version was protected mode). A bit later, I released the
OSPlus Utility Kit, containing an updated version of this. In around
October 2000, I made parts of OSPlus Open Source. This includes the Text
Editor.
A DJGPP version of the converters, which can convert RTF and Windows Write
to plain text, have been included.
This version of OSPlus Text Editor does not include sound support (although
there are still menu items present). To play WAV and MIDI files, download
the DJGPP with Allegro binary, which should be available at the same place
you downloaded this.
DOWNLOADING THE SOURCE CODE
You can get the source of OSPlus Text Editor by CVS. You can also download
ZIPs from http://osplus.sourceforge.net/. You can download older versions
of OSPlus and find out much more information at www.osplus.co.uk.
Please go to http://sourceforge.net/projects/osplus/ for information on CVS
access (and a web-based CVS browser), and the Download page mentioned above.
You can (hopefully) download a nightly CVS tarball from
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cvstarballs/osplus-cvsroot.tar.gz (I'm not sure
if this is admin-only, but it's only mentioned on the admin page).
