WARNING! WARNING! WARNING! WARNING! WARNING! WARNING! WARNING! WARNING! WARNING!

THIS IS A SHORT README FILE! READ THE DOCS FOR THE FULL INFO! THAT'S RIGHT! I
SAID READ THE DOCS BEFORE YOU EVEN THINK ABOUT DISTRIBUTING THIS ARCHIVE IN ANY
FORM!
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 0.3beta6
--------------------------------------
o Half a scroller window allows easier moving about documents.
o AppWindow, AppIcon and AppMenu makes loading files easy. Not only can you
drag files onto them, but also drawers, and a requester will appear!
o Totally font sensitive, and you can select which font to view the text in.
o Tooltypes and preference file(s) for configuring, and you can configure
most of the settings while EvenMore is running too.
o Can open the window on any public screen and move between them.
o Supports the numeric keypad and mouse movement.
o Very clean and smooth scrolling.
o Primitive string finding functions.
o Uses EasyGUI, the best GUI in the history of the world.
o Uses ReqTools library.
Here are the recent features
----------------------------
o Can take just a path as an argument, and a requester will pop up with the
directory listing of that path displayed.
o Fixed stupid bug in which EvenMore would crash if there were no linefeeds
in a file.
o Can now be menufied into the Workbench tools menu.
o Added preferences for menufying on start-up.
o Fixed major bug in the tooltypes. They didn't work, and on some machines
caused a 4-5 second freeze before doing anything.
o Fixed a silly bug in which the Quit from the menu didn't work.
o Made scrolling slide smoothly along.
o Added preferences for smooth scrolling.
o Added centre window menu item.
o Added page overlap preferences.
o Added sub items in the settings menu for the text offsets.
o Added the ability to drag and drop and select from the menu drawers as well
as files. A requester will appear displaying the contents of that drawer.
o Tidied up some code and fixed a few bugs.
o Added screen list. I had to use EasyGUI to create it, as there is no such
requester in ReqTools, and EasyGUI beats MUI and BGUI and CrashAct.
Unfortunately, it takes up an extra 30k of code, so hopefully soon I will
have added a few more things in EasyGUI to make up for that.
o Added system default font menu item.
o Made program breakable when iconified or menufied.
o Added close file menu item.
o Removed the 'could not find file' error message. Now the window will open
even if a file was not found.
o Added 'no files loaded' notice, when no file is found. Also it replaces the
statistics message when no file is loaded.
o Speeded up things by removing all window, drawinfo and screen, etc. pointer
arguments from procedures, and put them all in a global object.
o Added mouse movement.
o Decided to remove the space line between rows in the window. This will speed
things up, and be more compatible with text snapping programs.
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 Wooter and J R Hulance for EasyGUI! If this GUI was a standard, I do
beleive the world would be a better place!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 for 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!
