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.
Well I was sick of non-proportional text viewers until I made horizontal
scrolling in this version. Now EvenMore doesn't support proportional fonts. But
IMHO, even though EvenMore isn't as powerful as the rest, it still looks far
nicer than the competition, and is increasing in functionality at every release.
Here are the main features of 0.4beta2
--------------------------------------
o 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
the settings while EvenMore is running too.
o Can open the window on any public screen and move between them.
o Can create it's own public screen to run on.
o Developing ARexx port for remote control.
o Supports the numeric keypad and mouse movement.
o Very clean and smooth scrolling.
o String and pattern finding functions.
o Bookmarks for remembering positions in the document.
o Quick load listview for loading documents fast.
o Slightly configurable GUI for quick access to features.
o File loading uses AsyncIO.
o Can load multiple files.
o Help available by pressing the help key.
o User-configurable filetypes, for passing certain files to different programs.
o Uses EasyGUI, the best GUI in the history of the world.
o Uses ReqTools library.
Here are the recent features
----------------------------
o Added search requester gadget to window.
o Added preferences for quit confirmation requester.
o Added zoom percentage requester.
o Fixed horizontal scroller bug in searches.
o Added Left justify movement to search.
o Merged About and File statistics windows together.
o Bevelled progress bar.
o Replaced font string in preference GUI with a text and number gadget, and
removed font style checkmarks.
o Rearranged File page of preference GUI and search GUI.
o Now only screens of Hires and larger are selectable to ensure the GUIs will
fit on the screen.
o Replaced TRUE and FALSE with ON and OFF in preferences.
o Enhanced tab GUI plugin to look nicer. Thanks to Ralph Wermke for the EasyGUI
plugin.
o Added text gadget in preferences to display current screenmode of custom
screen. Thanks to Eric Sauvageau for the help.
o Cleaned up some illegal variable coding. (There's probably loads more)
o Fixed annoying bug where some preferences would trash. It was a stupid
mistake.
o Fixed bug in which progress bar would appear on the wrong screen.
o Fixed bug in preference loading, to do with the quit requester.
o Hopefully screenmodes with no name will now get a name given to them.
o Fixed bug where main window would fail to reappear after closed and opened
if the custom screen can't be opened.
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!

I cannot expect to be able to develop this program much further, as I am a
Christian and believe Jesus Christ will return very soon. If I do not reply to
any mail for months and months, then the development of this program has ceased.
