The Viewers Editor

For more information on viewers, see the WinPack Viewer help topic. IF YOU HAVEN'T READ THAT TOPIC, YOU WON'T HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT THIS EDITOR IS FOR!

The list of your WinPack viewers currently configured in PACKET.INI is shown in the top Window. Each entry in the list consists of a file type and an associated viewing program. As you move up and down the list, the highlighted viewer is also shown in the bottom edit window. The file type is defined by the file extension for which the viewers will be used (hence the heading "Ext"), typical extensions fof which viewers might be configured are JPG, GIF, BMP, WAV, MID, HTM, etc.

If you press the Edit button you can change the viewer associated with that particular file type.

If you press the New button, you can create a completely new entry. Once you are editing an entry, pressing Yes will save it back into the list, pressing No will abandon the edit.

If you press Browse whilst you are editing, a file section dialogue window opens and you can browse your way to the required viewer program.

PLEASE NOTE! If you want to specify that a viewer program is compatible with Netscape's DDE features, you MUST add " NDDE" to the end of the viewer name  - see the WinPack Viewer help topic.

When you have finished editing the viewers, press Ok to save your changes in PACKET.INI, or press Cancel to abandon the changes.
