-
- Introduction
- ------------
- This little program should be named MultiView and placed in the
- SYS:Utilities directory. I wrote it because when I used OS 2.1 and when
- unpack archives from Aminet or the like, I had this situation: doubleclick
- on an icon and a requester pops up :
-
- Unable to open your tool 'MultiView'
-
- Here is where this program comes in. It is called instead of the 3.x
- MultiView and for all the file types there can be a configured viewer that
- you like best.
-
- How to use it?
- --------------
- Very simple. Just put it in SYS:Utilities and forgot old MultiView by
- Commodore.
-
- Features
- --------
- - Works under OS 2.0 !!!
- - Locale support
- - Under OS 3.0 can use datatypes
- - Recognized 633 filetypes via FileID.library
- - Configurable via tooltypes
- - Gives you info about file (which type is it)
- - Nearly complete replace for MultiView by Commodore
-
- Some problems
- -------------
- - viewers must be in your path or given with complete path, when used
- (DOS.library`s Execute function related)
- - no external prefs program
- (maybe in future 8->> )
- - can handle only commands up to 512 characters
- (max. CLI command length is 512)
