We will only send a brief follow-up e-mail in 1 - 2 weeks, and one more in 2 - 3 months. (We will not share your info with anyone else. We will not pester you!)

Notes
The Windows Trial version expires 30 days after installation or after 20 days of usage, whichever is longer. You can convert (activate) the trial version into the full version by entering the serial number which you will receive when you order on-line or by phone.
The VEDIT User's Manual (448 pages) and the VEDIT Macro Language Reference Manual (304 pages) are available as Adobe Acrobat .PDF files. See the instructions below.
If you have trouble downloading these files, it may be due to Internet congestion or a firewall at your company's Internet connection. Please try the following:
- In case of a firewall, try downloading using another Internet connection.
- If you cannot download desired .EXE file, try the corresponding .ZIP file; some firewalls don't allow downloading .EXE files.
- As a last resort, we can e-mail you the file(s).
If you need additional assistance please don't hesitate to contact us.
Instructions for .EXE files
- Download the desired .EXE file into a temporary directory such as c:\temp; do not download it into a directory already containing VEDIT.
- Run the .EXE file (e.g. by double-clicking on it). (They are self-extracting "zip" files.)
- Running the VPA-xxxx.EXE file immediately starts the installation. You can install or update the Windows version. Running the V64-xxxx.EXE file immediately starts the installation. It will install both the 32-bit and 64-bit versions of VEDIT for Windows. Note: if you did not explicitly purchase VEDIT Pro64, the 64-bit version will only run as a trial version. Running the VPW-xxxx.EXE file immediately starts the installation. You can install or update only the Windows version. Select the [Quick] installation option. This will install the new version with the fewest questions. It will transfer the configuration and keyboard layout from the previous version to the new version.
- After installation, run VEDIT, select {HELP, Topics} and go to the "What's New" topic. This summarizes the new features and has links to their full description.
Instructions for .ZIP files
- After downloading a .ZIP file, you must unzip it with
WinZip,
Pkunzip,
or a similar program.
- With WinZip, open the ".ZIP" file and select the "Install" function or icon. This extracts the files into a temporary directory and runs the "setup" program to start the installation. (The temporary files are then automatically deleted after the installation is done.)
- With Pkunzip for Windows, open the ".ZIP" file and first extract the file into a temporary directory such as "c:\temp". Next, run the "setup" program to start the installation.
- Note: just double-clicking the "setup.exe" file in the Pkunzip window before extracting the files does not work. In our opinion, Pkunzip for Windows is more difficult to use than WinZip.
- Run the "setup" program to install the Windows version.
- Continue with step 3 above for .EXE files.
Notes:
If you repeatedly have trouble downloading these files, it may be due to common Internet congestion or a firewall at your company's Internet connection. Please try the following:
- In case of a firewall, try downloading using another Internet connection.
- If you cannot download desired .EXE file, try the corresponding .ZIP file; some firewalls don't allow downloading .EXE files.
- As a last resort, we can e-mail you the file(s).
If you need additional assistance please don't hesitate to contact us.
Instructions for .ZIP Manuals
V60-PDF.ZIP and VP60-PDF.ZIP (Manuals as Adobe .PDF files):
The VEDIT User's Manual (448 pages) and the VEDIT Macro Language Reference Manual (304 pages) are available as Adobe Acrobat .PDF files. If you do not have the Acrobat reader, it is available free of charge from the Adobe web site (www.adobe.com).
- After downloading each file, you must unzip it with WinZip or a similar program. You can simply unzip it into the same directory into which you installed VEDIT. The unzipping will create a .PDF file, corresponding to the VEDIT manuals.
- Run the Adobe Acrobat Reader and open the desired .PDF file.
NOTE: If you download the VW-PRO64.EXE or VPA-PROD.EXE file, the installation gives you the option of installing the VEDIT manuals as .PDF files and adding them to the VEDIT program group.
FTP Access
If you prefer to download files using an ftp program, log into
"ftp.vedit.com" with a User-ID of "anonymous". Then change
to the directory "/pub" which contains most files.
