    The OS/2 version of QEdit
    -------------------------------------------------------------------------

    QEdit for OS/2 is essentially a direct translation of the DOS
    version of QEdit, and shares the same speed and small size as it's
    DOS cousin.

    Of course, because of OS/2's advanced virtual memory management, the
    OS/2 version of QEdit can load files far larger than RAM allows.
    See below for further details.

    QEdit TSR can be ordered direct from SemWare.  In addition, SemWare
    is offering the product at a substantial discount to current users
    of the DOS version.  Call SemWare direct for details.


    Features & Commands not available in the OS/2 version
    -------------------------------------------------------------------------

    As of version 1.5, QEdit for OS/2 is a full 100% clone of QEdit Advanced.

    The only feature not implemented under OS/2 is the swapping to
    EMS/Disk on Dos or Shell commands.  This is totally
    unnecessary under OS/2 because of the availability of virtual
    memory management and true multitasking.  (See ToggleSwap for
    details).


    Enhancements in the OS/2 version:
    -------------------------------------------------------------------------

    QEdit for OS/2 can edit very large files, thanks to OS/2's virtual
    memory management.  To take advantage of this feature, you MUST have
    the following statement in your CONFIG.SYS:

         MEMMAN=SWAP,MOVE
