McHenry Software is proud to announce that we are finally retiring the original medit (16 bit version), in favor of the long awaited medit32, the 32-bit version, with many improvements and new features.

The interface has been totally re-written (although you will find many elements familiar, with basically a zero learning curve required) in fully 32-bit code.  When you first open medit32, you will instantly notice the improved interface for the fundamental 'SI5 Editing' screen, AKA 'The Grid', Graphical Edit screen' has been greatly improved, and we have added many new convenience options and much more!

Please see our Getting Started manual, which we have posted online and which contains detailed information on the update.

As an introduction to those of you that are just starting with medit/msmac:

The McHenry-Edit Environment (medit) is a specialized Multiple Document Interface (MDI) container for the Microsoft Windows operating system. The MDI provides for the use of the medit environment to create, edit, execute, view, output and print computer simulation results including graphics related to McHenry Software, Inc.’s Accident Reconstruction Software. The medit also has an intelligent editor for the creation of m-smac program inputs.

The medit intelligent editor is an input editor for the msmac program which recognizes the input variables by location (card number and field number) and displays information automatically while you are editing. medit checks that the input values are within a reasonable range and insures that the input data deck is in the proper format for use with the msmac simulation program.

• General features- long file names ( no '8.3' limit ), network-aware file transfer / sharing / archives, individual folders for projects,  Internet-based software updates and user news, ZIP-based backup / network archive / restore of all input and output files, completely updated and revised Help system, updated NHTSA databases and browser.  100 % file compatibility with all previous versions of Medit, no loss of prior work or projects ( input files etc )
