About The Stone Text Tool Editor
The Stone Text Tool editor is an outstanding text editor
which will work on Windows 95/98/NT. It has key-word coloring options for
C++, HTML, Java, and Pascal. Since it allows the user to select the font,
font color, font size, and font style, it is excellent for using on projection
systems in an academic environment. It contains copy, paste, and all of
the normal features associated with a good text editor.
The Stone Text Tool editor is distributed as freeware
by Jeg hedder Steenand. It may be downloaded
by loading the following URL in your Netscape Browser.
StoneTextTool.zip
Since this application is a self-extracting archive, no
decompression software will be necessary to decompress this software.
Downloading Stone Text Tool Editor
1] Start Netscape. Load the following URL in your Netscape
Browser. Using your mouse, select the Download txttoo1e.exe
link. (See Below!)
http://www.cs.trinity.edu/~thicks/StoneTextTool/StoneTextTool.zip
2] Select a desired download location. I would recommend
downloading all software into the Temp folder on hard drive C. In the graphic
below,
-
the name for the download file will remain
txttoo1e.exe
-
the file transfer location will be
C:\Temp
-
using the mouse, push/select the Save button!
(See Below!)
3] Netscape will attempt to approximate the remaining
download time. You may continue to use Netscape while the download is in
process. From the graphic below, we can see that the downloaded file has
383 KB and is called txttoo1e.exe.
(See Below)
Decompressing and Installing
TalkR
4] File txttoo1e.exe
has
now been downloaded to directory C:\Temp
. Using the mouse, double-click on My Computer and double-click on
folder Temp. (See Below)
5] Since download file
txttoo1e.exe
is a self-extracting archive, the install is started by double-clicking
on the txttoo1e.exe icon in
directory C:\Temp. (See Above)
6] The install has started. Using the mouse, push/select
button Next on the Welcome screen. (See Below!)
7] Take time to read the Registration Screen. Note that this
is freeware. Using the mouse, push/select button Next. (See Below!)
8] Where do you store the application software? The next
decision is critical! On personal systems, I recommend that all applications
be installed in the Program Files
directory.
On University owned computers, security measures often prevent the student
from installing applications in directory Program Files;
if this is the case, students can successfully install this application
in directory C:\Temp. In either event,
using the mouse, push/select button Browse. (See Below!)
9] If on your personal system, enter
C:\Program
Files\Stone Text Tool. (Change drive if your Program
Files directory is located elsewhere!)
If on a university lab system, enter
C:\Temp\Stone
Text Tool. (Select the appropriate solution below!)

established, it is time to continue. Using the mouse, push/select button
Next. (Select the appropriate solution below!)
