<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< This Submission Supersedes WPE Version 5.0 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

  WPE Version 5.2 =========================================================

A "complete" and extended implementation of WPS-PLUS (TM) for editing ASCII
files, including some Language Sensitive features for .COM files. Two-window
editing, the most useful features of EVE-PLUS, etc. Built on TPU and EVE, so
it's inherently extendable.  Full help and documentation. A finished version,
but added features are promised for the future.  Version 5.2 is for VMS V5.0. 
through V5.2.  New features include a .CLD (Command Language Definition), 
and several other improved/added functions.


FULL documentation is provided in .TXT, .WPL (for WPS+), and .LN03 
(Very fancy) forms.  Memory cartridges are required to print the .LN03 
files.  With this submission, the .LN03 documentation has been provided 
in the popular 7 x 9 format.


Comments, suggestions, etc. are welcome.  Bug fix requests will also be
considered.

                            WPE Editor Version 5.2

                            (WPS+ for ASCII Files)

                          Including the MORE utility

NOTE: WPE V5.2 is designed for VMS V5.0 thru 5.2 - it will not work with VMS 
V4.x.  Differences between this version and previous versions of WPE are 
documented in the file WPEV5_DIFF.TXT

WPE is a full (well, almost) implementation of WPS-PLUS (TM) for use on
ASCII files.  Its advantage is that the user who uses WPS+ has essentially
the same keyboard interface to WPE.

WPE is, in its own right, an extremely powerful text editor.  It is layered
on TPU and EVE, and is extendable.  It's easy to "get started", full on-line
help is provided, as well as extensive user documentation.

Features include: 
	All of WPS+ that was reasonable (full-function editing). 
	Two-window editing.
	Multiple files.
	Bookmarks.
	Insert and examine special characters.
	Print files with special characters.
	Fixup files by removing CR/LF
	Automatic tailoring for .COM, .HLP, .FOR, and .TPU files.
	Read-only interface (called MORE).
	Available EDT keypad.
	Can be used as a MAIL editor.

WPE works efficiently with DM (also in this submission).  Instructions are
provided on how to use WPE as your VMS Mail editor.

WPE V5.2 has been tested with versions of EVE and TPU shipped with VMS
versions from 5.0 through 5.2.  Efforts were made to provide compatibility
with DECWindows, but WPE has not been tested in a DECWindows environment.
