Recent history
View Version 8.6
================
ADDED: Support for Ami Pro. Note that because I do not use this word
processor myself, I may not have caught all the formatting
possibilities. If you have a file that doesn't display properly
please send it to me and I will try to correct the problem.
Support for code page 850 (European). VIEW now looks for which
code page is active - 437 (North America) or 850. It chooses the
appropriate one for displaying high-order characters. If the active
code page is neither 437 nor 850, it defaults to 437.
Support for viewing large files. If you try to read a file that is
too big for VIEW, the program now spills the overflow into a
temporary file. You can easily switch between the first part of
the file you want to view and its overflow, without exiting to
the file selection menu.
REMOVED: "split large file" function. Removed because you can get a more
logical series of places to split a file by converting it to
ASCII from VIEW's file selection menu and then splitting it
manually from a text editor.
VIEW Version 8.61
=================
Expanded code page 850 support for WordPerfect 6.0 and tidied up
MS Word display.
VIEW Version 8.62
=================
Corrected error that caused some video cards to operate only in
25 line mode even when they were capable of operating in other
modes (e.g. 36 lines)
VIEW Version 8.7
================
Added a direct link to Tony Caine's JETCOL and 2COL printing
utilities to allow the user of VIEW to specify command line
options.
VIEW Version 9.0 and 9.0a
=========================
Made substantial improvements to file selection menu, including a
help screen. Added facility to change column wrap. Added support
for viewing Wordstar files. Improved display options and
identification routines for files of "unknown format". Improved
the direct link to JETCOL/2COL, including printing large files
directly from the file selection menu.
Moved the "direct access to 2COL/JETCOL" key to F8, thereby
disabling the "print screen" function; the equivalent is available
by printing a marked block.
VIEW Version 9.1
=========================
Added WinWord 6.0 functionality. Added "/mem" command line switch
to allow user to allocate (temporarily) more memory for link to
JETCOL and 2COL. Note: because I do not use WinWord 6, I cannot
be sure that VIEW will catch all formatting information. If you
have a file that does not display properly, please send it to me
and I will try to fix the problem.
VIEW Version 9.2 (not in general release)
=========================================
Modified WinWord 6. PLEASE NOTE: I HAVE THUS FAR BEEN UNABLE TO
OBTAIN THE NECESSARY INFORMATION FROM MICROSOFT TO BE ABLE TO
DECODE PROPERLY WINWORD 6 FILES. THE FUNCTION HAS BEEN RETAINED,
BUT IT MIGHT NOT WORK PROPERLY FOR ALL FILES. PLEASE ACCEPT MY
APOLOGIES FOR THIS AND BE ASSURED I WILL CONTINUE TO SEEK A
SOLUTION. ALL MY ATTEMPTS TO CONTACT MICROSOFT HAVE FAILED; I
HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIND ANYTHING VIA INTERNET OR COMPUSERVE, OR
FROM MICROSOFT'S BBS OR INTERNET SERVER. I WILL KEEP TRYING AND
SEND UPDATED VERSION TO REGISTERED USERS AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
Changed the menu interface to enable an escape function for each
menu item. Improved the printer selection interface and modified
the configuration program to allow the setting of a default
printer port. Added a function to change drive from the file
selection menu.
VIEW Version 9.2a
=========================
Corrected bug that caused erroneous display of first part of files
that are too big to be displayed in full even with the overflow
file. Improved the "select text string to find" interface. Added
asterisk (*) to bottom right hand corner of screen when text
search function is enabled.
VIEW Version 9.2b
=========================
Corrected bug that caused ASCII files to report "unknown format"
after viewing short (less than one screen) ASCII file. Corrected
bug that prevented WRITE files that begin with an OLE link from
displaying properly. Changed " xx bytes read" during file read to
show percentage read instead. Corrected typographical errors (!!)
in configuration file interface.
VIEW Version 9.2c
=========================
Added function to escape from corrupted WordPerfect files after
printing as much of them as possible to file.
