Introduction

BEDIT
BEDIT is a text editor that uses a variety of character sizes to display
all output, including help and error messages.  The characters range from
normal text size to large block characters that each take up 4 standard
rows and 8 standard columns.  When run on video cards and monitors that
support graphics, BEDIT offers a wide selection of display sizes.

BEDIT was originally written to make a low-price editor available to users
with vision impairment but might also be used on laptops, which tend to
impair everyone's vision.  BEDIT is shareware for $30.  For information
