			     Version 4.3

Find yourself doing lots of copy and paste work with your text editor?  
MaxDrop will do it faster, using an easy drag and drop interface.  You can 
drag and drop highlighted text to any window which will receive text, or
even to another spot in MaxDrop's own window.  Highlight and drop part
of a line of text, or select one or more complete lines at once by clicking
and dragging down the left side of MaxDrop's text area.

MaxDrop is a full featured text editor, including:
*  Copy and paste, undo, a recent file list, toolbar, find and replace.
*  Choose your font; also used for the print and print page options.
*  Run multiple instances, open any size file.
*  Unique drag and drop interface, faster than copy and paste.
*  Make MaxDrop's window "Always on top", to stay on top of whatever
    program you're dropping text to.
*  Stealth mode which will hide MaxDrop's window while you drag and 
    drop.

MaxDrop will only open one file at a time for editing, but you can run more 
than one instance of MaxDrop.  To drag selected text to another program 
(or another spot in MaxDrop's window), simply drag and drop from 
anywhere in the red area at the far left side of MaxDrop's window.  That is, 
left click your mouse in the red area, and, while holding the mouse button 
down, drag the cursor to the spot on your screen where you want the text 
dropped, and release the mouse button.
