### WHAT IS IT ###############################################################
### WHAT IT IS ###############################################################
 
Sved is the default editor that comes with SvarDOS. Sved is not meant to be a
full-featured text editor, it is designed for basic editing of configuration
files and such. On the pro side, Sved has a very low memory footprint and
is only a couple of kilobytes big, which makes it a good fit for bootdisks or
systems with extremely limited ressources.

Sved can load up to 10 files simulteanously. To switch from one file to
SVED can load up to 10 files simultaneously. To switch from one file to
another use the F1..F10 function keys (F1 = slot 1, F2 = slot 2, etc).
 
 
### MULTILINGUAL SUPPORT #####################################################
 
The EDIT.LNG file contains non-english strings. It should be placed in the
same directory where the program's executable resides. The UI language is
controlled by the LANG environment variable, for example SET LANG=PL would
make it display polish strings.
 
If you rename the EDIT.COM executable, then you need to rename the EDIT.LNG
file accordingly.
 
You can safely delete the EDIT.LNG file if you do not need non-english UI.
