This page contains the links through which you can download the DLLs which associate various editors with His Grepship. The associations are described in the Associated text editors section.
There are two types of editor DLLs. Firstly is the built-in editor. This comes in the standard His Grepship package, and is the default editor when you start His Grepship for the first time. Note this a full editor, not just an interface to another editor.
The second group consists of the 3rd-party editor DLLs. These DLLs do not contain those editors, but act as an interface between them and His Grepship. Each editor has an associated DLL, and to work, that editor must be installed on your PC.
Adding a new editor
Before adding a new editor, we advise you start up His Grepship and deselect all current editors. Choose the menu option 'Options | Choose text editor...', and uncheck the 'Use a default editor' checkbox. This renames all existing editor DLLs back to their unique names - otherwise there is a danger that you might overwrite an existing DLL.
On clicking a download link, you will be prompted to open or save the file. Choose save, and then specify a download directory on your PC. Once downloaded, run the file you have just downloaded (it is a self-extracting executable) and specify an installation directory. This directory should be the same as that already containing His Grepship. It defaults to C:\Program Files\His Nerdship\His Grepship.
Then run His Grepship and bring up the editor selection window again. Select the editor you have just downloaded.
You are ready to go.
This comes with the standard package. There are no installation notes with it, as it is well covered in the His Grepship Help (see the Built-in text editor book in the Contents tab).
Before updating, deselect all editors in His Grepship. Go to menu item Options | Choose text editor... This brings up the editor selection window, where you uncheck the Use a default editor check box. This renames all editor DLLs to their correct names.
