                        FSS - TeX Editor V1.3
                                (8/96)



FSS-TeXEdit provide an easy interface for LaTeX2e, dvips, Ghostscript
and ispell. Most actions can be done like in common writing programmes
but you will have all features of LaTeX2e.

Read this overview, try TeXEdit and you will not live without it any more.

TeXEdit was written and developed in german. After some people asked me
for an english version I have started a first translation. It took more
time as I thought, but now I have a first result. Of course you will find
some errors (particularly in the INF file) but feel free to send me a bug
report. I try to complete the help file soon.

I am sure that it takes some time to finish the INF file, but I want to
place TeXEdit at your disposal now.
