33This is the first version of eFTE/2. It is based on eFTE (see README.efte)
34which in turn is based on FTE (Folding Text Editor). The configuration now
35compiles on the fly. You should be able to use it with the configuration
36files of an existing FTE install simply by creating a mymain.fte file in
37the same directory as your old main.fte. The file must include the line
38#include 'main.fte'. You could also use the mymain.fte and sysmain.fte
39files from the package. Simply copy them to the directory main.fte is in.
40You will need to edit mymain to set the UI and color scheme as it will
41override the settings in main.fte. Another alternative is to rename your
42main.fte mymain.fte or use -Cmain.fte on the command line. If eFTE/2
43can't find your configuration SET EFTEDIR in config.sys to point to the
44directory your main.fte is in. If you want to install it directly
45over an FTE/eFTE install and not lose your custom configuration changes
46you can achieve that by installing only packages 1 and 3 to your current
47install directory.

49I have structured the configuration files to make it easier to translate
50the menus. I lack the language skills to do the translations. If you have
51an opportunity to do one or more of the translations please send them to
52me at ygk@qwest.net. The menu files are located in the menu_xx (where xx is
53the language code) subdirectories of the config directory.
54You may add any language with a 2 letter code. Simple create a menu_xx
55subdirectory using the code and place the menus in it. To test them copy the
56direcctory menu_xx to the config directory of an eFTE/2 installand start
57eFTE/2 with -Lxx (xx = language code) on the command line. The edefault.fte
58also could be translated. If you are interested in translating the documentation
59(help file etc) please contact me.

61Known Issues:
62
631. Occasionally, eFTE/2 will trap when starting an external program. The problem
64appears to be an estyler issue.
652. Opening some help files with certain keywords will trap newview. This is an issue
66either with newview or with the help file as it occurs when newview searches the
67same term. (e.g. open the Open Watcom 2.0 C Library Reference and search for return).
