Turtle Rich Edit Control
version 1.0.1

Many of you may have noticed issues in using Steve's original VbAccelerator Rich Edit control
to build an OCX. Basically, you might just as me not be able to build an UserControl using the
original vbAccelerator's Rich Edit control.

I took the chance of debugging Steve's original excellent control as i wanted to be able to build
OCXs using it. This resulted in minor code modifications and in the necessity of including the
SsubTmr6 code (still from VbAccelerator) within the control itself due to hooking issues that
often resulted into crashing.

The resulting 'Turtle Rich Edit Control' therefore has one less dependency (SsubTmr6.dll is not
needed), however just as the original control OleGuids.TLB is needed when running in the IDE (which
can be downloaded from <http://www.vbaccelerator.com/typelib.htm#OleGuids> and registered using
<http://www.vbaccelerator.com/codelib/tlb/vbregtlb.htm>).

This is a first release of this modified control, and as per the vbAccelerator original license
here below I have retained the original copyright notice, changed the name to 'Turtle Rich Edit
Control' to exclude the name 'vbAccelerator' and made no mistery that this is entirely based on
Steve McMahon's code.

Should I be infringing some copyrights which I might not be aware of just let me know, my
intention here is just to give it back to Steve and to the community of VB developers out there
(VBforums.com, you guys rock!).

Finally, this control has not been fully tested therefore if you use it, you are doing so
AT YOUR OWN RISK. I will simply take no responsability for any damage this control may cause.

Hopefully this will help some developers just as it did help me.

Cheers,
