Color View V1.10
(C) Copyright 1994, by James B. Miller Jr.
Color View is a "dir" replacement which allows you to have a colorful
directory listing in several different fashions. I usually rename
the executable to "D.EXE" so that it makes it very accessable to
even a bad typist.
┌──────────┐
│ Features │
└──────────┘
- Up to 20 definable extensions with its own color
- 4 modes of display (4 column, 2 column,left/right,up/down)
- Several sorting switches
- Easy to configure
┌──────────────┐
│ Registration │
└──────────────┘
This program is shareware. If you continue to use this program for
more than 30 days you should register it by sending in a $5.00 check
or money order to "The Hole In The Wall" at the following address.
The Hole In The Wall
133 9th Avenue
Nederland TX 77627
┌──────────┐
│ Switches │
└──────────┘
Available switches are as follows:
-H = Help
-E = Sort by Extension');
-S = Sort by FileSize');
-T = Sort by FileTime');
-2 = 2 Columns (File,Size,Date,Time,Attr)');
┌───────────────┐
│ Configuration │
└───────────────┘
You can configure Color View using 3 different ways. You can set
your environment with the proper settings, use a configuration file
or you can hex edit the actual executable. Using the environment
will override anything that is hex edited unless the environment
variables are not all there. There is a sample batch included which
will help aid you in setting the environment variables. The batch file
is "SETCOL.BAT". I have also included a sample configuration file
named "CLRVIEW.CFG".
NOTE: The environment variables will override both hex editing and the
configuration file. The configuration file will override hex
editing.
Environment Settings:
─────────────────────
SET CLRVEXT=EXE,COM,BAT
SET CLRVCOL=10,13,14
SET CLRVDEF=DEF-7,BOR-1,LEN-4,NTX-9,HT1-3,HT2-14,DIR-30,TIM-10,
DAT-13,ATT-12,HID-5,SYS-8,DIS-0
With the first "Set" statment you can have up to 20 extensions. Make
sure they are seperated with commas. The second "Set" statment are
the corresponding color values (in decimal) for the extensions. Make
sure they are seperated with commas. The last "Set" statment should
stay the same except you can change the numerical values to the color
values you want. This set statement should also be all on one line.
Here is a brief explanation of what color values go with what:
DEF = Default file color
BOR = Box border color
LEN = File lenght color
NTX = Normal text
HT1 = Highlighted text #1
HT2 = Highlighted text #2
DIR = Directory color
TIM = Time color
DAT = Date color
ATT = Attribute color
HID = Hidden file color
SYS = System File color
DIS = Sets display mode
With DIS set to 1: A │ B │ C
D │ E │ F
With DIS set to 0: A │ C │ E
B │ D │ F
Configuration File:
───────────────────
Using a configuration file is very similar to using the environment
variables. There should be three lines of text.
EXE,COM,BAT
10,13,14
DEF-7,BOR-1,LEN-4,NTX-9,HT1-3,HT2-14,DIR-30,TIM-10,
DAT-13,ATT-12,HID-5,SYS-8,DIS-0
NOTE: Again the third and fourth line are combined here for use
in this document. In real situations the two lines should
be combined into one line.
Hex Editing:
────────────
Once you have the program loaded into your hex editor you will need
to find the area like what is shown below.

Once you have made it here your home free. As you can see the first
extension definition is "EXE" with a color of "010". All you do is
change the name of the extension and the number of the color. If you
use an extension that is not three characters long you should use
spaces in place of the characters. When changing the numbers you
should always have three digits and use numbers in "decimal" format.
The other colors which are listed in the environment settings portion
of this document can also be changed starting with "DEF". One other
item can be changed here and that is the display affect which the
"SET CLRVDISP=1" statement does. To change this set the number after
the "DIS" to "001".
