### WHAT IT IS ###############################################################

1366 mateusz.vi 8
The SvarDOS editor (SVED) is designed for basic editing of configuration files
9
and such. It is NOT meant to be a full-featured text editor. On the pro side,
10
it has a low memory footprint and is only a couple kilobytes big, which makes
11
it a good fit for bootdisks or systems with extremely limited ressources.

### USAGE AND KEY BINDINGS ###################################################

37
 - PageUp / PageDown
38

39
 
40

42
 
43

1366 mateusz.vi 45
SVED can load up to 10 files simultaneously. To switch from one file to
1355 mateusz.vi 46
another use the F1..F10 function keys (F1 = slot 1, F2 = slot 2, etc).

### MULTILINGUAL SUPPORT #####################################################
50
 
1397 mateusz.vi 51
The LNG file contains non-english strings. It should be placed in the same
52
directory where the program's executable resides. The UI language is
1366 mateusz.vi 53
controlled by the LANG environment variable, for example SET LANG=PL would
54
make it display polish strings.
55
 
1397 mateusz.vi 56
If you rename the SVED.COM executable (for example to EDIT.COM), then you need
57
to rename the LNG file accordingly (for example to EDIT.LNG).
1366 mateusz.vi 58
 
1397 mateusz.vi 59
You can safely delete the LNG file if you do not need non-english UI and wish
60
to free some disk space.
