INTRODUCTION:
EdX is a character editor for the Tri-Stat dX tabletop RPG system published by
Guardians of Order, Inc.
The latest version of EdX can always be found at http://edx.rubyforge.org

Hopefully you will find the software fairly intuitive. To add an item to a
list, double click on the "(new)" entry. To remove an item from a list, click
on it and press the <Del> key.
To print a character, use the "Export..." command on the "File" menu to export
it to HTML, then use your favorite web browser to print it out.
KNOWN BUGS:
- I have seen some crashes if you try to interact with the software while it is
busy saving a file.
