EZVIEW RELEASE 5.0
COPYRIGHT 1993 CHARLES HILL USEFULL CONCEPTS, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED

To put EZVIEW to work, install it in a directory in your path (Change the
name to suit your needs; ie : VIEW) and type EZVIEW at the command line.
The current directory appears for file selection. Change directories by
placing the cursor on the up and down arrows and pressing enter. Change
drives by pressing <D> and selecting a drive. Once in the desired
directory, select a file to view with the cursor and press enter.
Press <H> to view the file in hex format. Press <T> to view it in text
format. Press <A> to view the contents of an archive. Press <F> to return
to the file menu. Press <F1> for the help screen which lists the keyboard
commands for these and all other functions available.
Press <E> to edit the file you are viewing or a file selected on the file
selection screen. By default EZVIEW searches your path first for edit.com,
then for edit.exe and finally for edit.bat. If you wish to use an editor
with a different name, press <Alt E> and enter that name, not including the
extension (i.e. 'QEDIT' for a program named qedit.com, qedit.exe or
qedit.bat). EZVIEW saves the name you entered and will use it from then on.
NOTE : Editing files from archives is not supported.
Sort directories and archives by pressing <S> and selecting a sort type in
the file and archive modes. Search for strings in the text and hex modes by
pressing <S> and entering a search string.
To print out all or part of a file, move the cursor to the top line of the
block of text you wish to print and mark it by pressing <Alt T>. Then move
the cursor to the bottom line and mark it by pressing <Alt B>. Press
<Alt P> to print the marked block. Unmark a block with <Alt U>. Use <Alt F>
when printing hex code to mask the characters which are printer commands.
Press <F2>-<F7> to toggle through the colors and <Alt> C to save them.
The mouse controls the keys listed at the bottom of the screen and can be
used in the all viewing modes to reposition the cursor.
The following archive types and their self extract counterparts are
supported: .zip, .lzh, .arc, .pak, .sdn, .arj, and .zoo.
To view files from archives you need to have one or more of the following
archive programs located in your path : pkunzip.exe (.zip files),
lha.exe (.lzh files), pak.exe (.pak, .arc, and .sdn files),
arj.exe (.arj files) and zoo.exe (.zoo files). NOTE : EZVIEW creates and
removes the directory C:\$E for viewing these files. If this directory
exists EZVIEW will return an error.
EZVIEW is IBM XT/AT compatible with DOS 2.1 and up. CGA, EGA and VGA are
supported. EZVIEW handles files to 16Mb and directories to 1870 files.
