            (!) 06-03-94 Version Deus Ex Machina Software

 This program runs on all ST, STE, MegaSTE, TT, FALCON ...
 All resolutions with Palette supported (no True color Modes),
 NVDI, BlowUP & SreenBlaster compatible.

 What does the folder ESSAY 1.98 Contains:

 ESSAY   .PRG       the program itself
 ESSAY   .INF       the preferences saved (macros,colors,options ...)
 ESSAY_R .RSC       the ressources for low resolution modes (<640)
 ESSAY   .INF       the other ressources for most of the modes
 AAAAARGH.ACC       just an accessory to fix color bugs on FALCON TOS only
                    to make active the Esc 'b' & Esc 'c' Functions 

 Why to use this Text editor ?

 -Quicker than the others (made entirely in assembly code)
 -All the commands are easy, with menus, and other Helps & functions
 -Generate texts entirely compatible with the GEM read command and can replace
  the routine if you install an application between ESSAY and the texts
 -Uses all defined GEM fonts with one determinated size.
 -Specially made to Edit sources texts & infos.
 -Can read & edit all sort of text, or program to modify some bytes.
 -Powerfull Macros that can be called with an other Macro (only precedent ones)
  with the F5 funkey you can call for example the F4 funkey.
 -Simple but really efficient and quick
 -the program needs only nearly 45Ko on the disk, you can parameter the size 
  of what you load.
 -run on FALCON (this is really important).
 -we are not limited at a length of line (you can have a 1Meg Line if you want)

 If this program enjoyed yourself don't hesitate to tell me it in a lettre.
 If you find reproductive bugs, note them and send them to me in a letter.
 If you send me enough money to give you a disk and a response, you'll receive
 a corrected version of the program with other programs made by me or my
 brother ...(don't forget to give your complete address and your configuration)
 Same if you want to exchange programs (only legal programs) you can contact us
 sending a letter at the address at the end of the text (in english or french).
 Same if you have ideas of programs to give ...

 I am interrested with DEMOS for all ATARI machines, MODs soundtrack and 
 especially programs for the FALCON030 ! 

 A List of other programs made by myself ...

 ESSAY       : A short but complete text editor with lot of functions & Helps
 DIAMONDS    : A quick cell-generation Program entirely made in assembly code

 LIFE        : A game of LIFE also in assembly code in low or High rez.
 VIBRAX      : The best MODs Player Accessory on Falcon (Better than U-Tracker)
