Why another HTML- Editor?

This is a good question, but it has an easy answer: on the one hand there are many editors, on the other hand no one of them fit's my needs.
Firstpage from Evrsoft, for example is a good piece of software, but there are so many bugs... In addition to that, a new version is announced almost one year now, but no one has seen this version.
Another good editor is Weaverslave, but this programm has so many features I don't need, and not at last the editor is very slowly, with documents about 1,000 lines of codes it gets serious problems showing syntax highlightning and scrolling on an Ahtlon 2 GHz and 1 Gig RAM.
This things made it necessary for me to write my own editor whith my limited Delphi knowledge, which first fullfills my needs.

How much does mini_Edit costs?

mini_Edit makes use of the GPL (http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/gpl.html) and is opensource software.
You can freely distribute or modifiy it without monetary costs.

For whom is mini_Edit suitable?

mini_Edit will only include sourcecode editing, a WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) editing ability will it definitly not get from me.
Therefore, mini_Edit is a programm for people, who know the basics of HTML or an other 'weblanguage' and won't use editors, which don't care about webstandards or produce code only one browser will show correctly.
In addition to that, a knowledge about Windows standard shortcuts will be necessary to use mini_Edit quickly, because it won't have a toolbar which steals valuable space for editing.

What techniques does mini_Edit use?

mini_Edit will only run on Microsoft Windows, a *nix port is not planned. mini_Edit is written in Delphi, a fast object orientated programming language from Borland (http://www.borland.com/delphi).
It uses the TSynEdit component for editing and syntax highlightning, the Toolbar2000, the DelphiWorks SDK and XML for some parts of menu definitions.

What are the system requirements?

You should use a pentium class PC running on Windows 98 or newer. You need at least 5 mb free space on your harddisk and 30 mb of free ram.
In addition to that, the Microsoft XML parser version 4 or newer has to be installed to use the codesnippets of mini_Edit (you can get it with an new Internet Explorer or as stand alone program at the Homepage of Microsoft).
