Required files

The default configuration files are precompiled into fte-def.cnf. This file should be copied to fte.cnf for text-mode version, and to ftepm.cnf for PM version. Or, you may want to compile your own configuration from source using cfte configuration file compiler.

For minimal installation of the text mode version, only fte.exe and fte.cnf are required. For PM clipboard support clipserv.EXE is needed and must be running whenever you wish to use PM clipboard from FTE.

To install PM version, ftepm.exe and ftepm.cnf are needed.

To recompile source files, cfte.exe and config\*.fte files are needed.

Place executable files somewhere on your PATH. Compiled configuration files should be located in the same directory as executable and have the same basename with extension .CNF.
