It is based on eFTE (see README.efte) which in turn is based on FTE (Folding Text Editor). The configuration now compiles on the fly. You should be able to use it with the configuration files of an existing FTE install simply by creating a mymain.fte file in the same directory as your old main.fte. The file must include the line #include 'main.fte'. You could also use the mymain.fte and sysmain.fte files from the package. Simply copy them to the directory main.fte is in. You will need to edit mymain to set the UI and color scheme as it will override the settings in main.fte. Another alternative is to rename your main.fte mymain.fte or use -Cmain.fte on the command line. If eFTE/2 can't find your configuration SET EFTEDIR in config.sys to point to the directory your main.fte is in. If you want to install it directly over an FTE/eFTE install and not lose your custom configuration changes you can achieve that by installing only packages 1 and 3 to your current install directory. I have structured the configuration files to make it easier to translate the menus. I lack the language skills to do the translations. If you have an opportunity to do one or more of the translations please send them to me at ygk@qwest.net. The menu files are located in the menu_xx (where xx is the language code) subdirectories of the config directory. You may add any language with a 2 letter code. Simple create a menu_xx subdirectory using the code and place the menus in it. To test them copy the direcctory menu_xx to the config directory of an eFTE/2 install and start eFTE/2 with -Lxx (xx = language code) on the command line. The edefault.fte also could be translated. If you are interested in translating the documentation (help file etc) please contact me. Known Issues: 1. Opening some help files with certain keywords will trap newview. This is an issue either with newview or with the help file as it occurs when newview searches the same term. (e.g. open the Open Watcom 2.0 C Library Reference and search for return). This was a bug in wipfc which has been fixed. If are seeing this with Open Watcom help files contact me and I will send you copies that were built with the fixed wipfc. 2. Speakers of languages other than English may have diacritic (combining) characters such as '^', 'ù', 'ï', '`', '~', or 'ø' produced by their corresponding keyboard layouts. It should be noted that currently the non-combining versions of these characters can only be produced by pressing their keys twice, i.e. combining the diacritics with themselves, instead of using the normal convention of diacritic+space. 3.After changing screen resolution the various eFTEPM dialog boxes may be poorly sized. The work around is to delete the saved dialog size/position under the eFTEPM key in OS2.INI. Delete all the keys except Frame1. See HISTORY file for a list of recent changes.
