Hi Hsieh,
Thanks for your interest in our software products!  Our software line of
ASCII text editors consists of:
DOS based:

Compuserve forum, internet, and web site as QEDIT3C.ZIP. (note that it is

=============================================================================
Announcing the NEW version of QEdit:  The SemWare Editor Junior v4.0
QEdit is now sporting a NEW look and a NEW name.
In its new 4.0 release, our classic QEdit line of editor products has
undergone impressive improvements.  Much of the look and feel of QEdit has
been updated to offer even greater ease of use, similar to our popular new
product, The SemWare Editor Professional (TSE Pro).  While still maintaining
the same features that you have come to know and love, we have added
numerous highly-requested features, many of which were inspired by favorable
feedback on comparable features already available in The SemWare Editor
Professional.  And to more fully align QEdit with TSE Pro, the QEdit product
line has been renamed The SemWare Editor Junior (TSE Jr.).  QEdit Advanced
will now be known simply as The SemWare Editor Junior (TSE Jr.).  To
distinguish our two other QEdit products, the following name changes have
been made:
  QEdit for OS/2 is now The SemWare Editor Junior for OS/2 (or TSE Jr./2).
  QEdit TSR is now The SemWare Editor Junior / Mem-Res (or TSE Jr./Mem-Res).
In keeping with the long-acclaimed QEdit heritage, The SemWare Editor Junior
maintains many of QEdit's familiar features, including:  small file size
(less than 70K) for the editor program itself (still named Q.EXE!); minimum
memory requirements (only 128K); only a single program file required for
editing (except for additional files needed to use the spelling checker);
access to commands and options through pull-down menus; and a versatile, yet
easy-to-use, macro scripting language.  With its debut release under the new
name, TSE Jr. also brings new capabilities to address growing needs in the
text editing community.  Among the dozens of features added in version 4.0
of The SemWare Editor Junior, you will find:
ù Built-in, full mouse support - we even include a pop-up mouse menu of
   Block-related commands
ù An incremental search engine to enhance searching through a file
ù Synchronized scrolling of files in multiple windows
ù File locater utility to quickly search an entire drive for a specific or
   wildcarded filename
ù Directory tree facility allowing you to visually navigate through drives
   and directories from inside the editor
ù Access to the Microsoft Windows Clipboard (or the OS/2 Clipboard in the
   OS/2 version), so you can copy and paste text directly to or from the
   editor
ù Supports line lengths to 2032 characters
Even with all the enhancements, the product line maintains yet another
familiar characteristic:  affordable pricing!  And, as always, current users
of any SemWare product can obtain a copy of TSE Jr. version 4.0 at special
upgrade prices.
