********************************************************************************
I am sick of the ugly looking non-proportional text viewers. So I decided to
write my own viewer that would be font-sensitive, and blend in with all your
other nice patches, as so not to spoil the look and feel of your Workbench.
Here are the main features of 0.3beta4
--------------------------------------
o Half a scroller window allows easier moving about documents.
o AppWindow makes loading files easy.
o Totally font sensitive, and you can select which font to view the text in.
o Tooltypes and a prefernce file(s) for customizing.
o Can open the window on any public screen and move between them.
o Uses ReqTools library.
Here are the recent features
----------------------------
o Text printing vastly improved. Now a whole window redraw is not necessary
if the viewer scrolls more that one line. The scroll is done and the lines
are just filled in.
o May have fixed a small mistake in which the bottom border could be trashed
by the font on a redraw. (Not the major trash if you resize too fast).
o Window now calculates the minimum size possible it can be by the gadget
sizes.
o Made errors output to requesters if opening the ReqTools library was a
success, otherwise outputs to the console.
o Even more (excuse the pun ;) optimizations!!!
o Changed the way file is loaded. This may save some memory/speed? And it
will also mean that I can easily make changes, etc, when I work out how to
parse the file.
o If a file doesn't exist when selected by the requester, the old filenames
will be restored.
o Added font preferences.
o Added error suppression.
o 'Discovered' how to set the writemask on a rastport, so now the window
scrolls mega fast!
o Added an AppWindow, so files can be loaded by dragging icons onto the window.
o Now when you switch screens, the window dimensions aren't lost.
o Removed hard-coding to preferences file.
o Half finsihed a scroller window. Scrolling left and right will be deadly. If
anyone knows how let me know. I have some idea, of how to do it, but it is
hard turning that idea into code.
o Now ignores carriage return characters, for PC compatibility.
o Numeric keypad support.
o Fixed a few bugs.
o And a few other things not worth mentioning...
There are still a few things to be ironed out though. Please read the docs
before you delete as soon as you set your eyes on it.
All hints, tips, examples of code, etc., will be appreciated!

THANX 'N' GREETZ (In no particular order)
=========================================
Thanks to my mum and dad for buying me those RKRM manuals. I didn't know they
would be so useful so quickly. I thought I'd at least have to learn C before
they would be of any use.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Thanx to Nico François and Magnus Holmgren for the excellent ReqTools library.
Only fools don't use ReqTools!
Thanx to Dietmar Eilert for GoldEd, it's been plenty of help to me.
Thanx to Wouter van Oortmerssen for AmigaE, it's an amazing language.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Thanx to Ilan Sharoni for helping me a lot with word and line wrapping. It's
just too hard. Maybe I'll understand it someday.
Thanx to Johan Björnson for his excellent contributions and suggestions for this
archive. If it wasn't for him, we wouldn't even have icons!
Thanx to Marco Talamelli fot helping me with the font requesters.
Thankyou to all my mates in #amiga who helped by answering my questions I put to
them (Hehehe they did? Well they tried. But I understand). Thanx mate!
