-
- ReVIEW a text file on the screen using cursor keys, TAB, HOME,

- Source & Gary D. Moore, and Crescent Software (QuickPak Pro) Library.
- Resource: The demo file, FileView.BAS, code was my pattern to VIEW a file.
- I give credit to Ethan Winer, Paul Passarelli and all the staff
- at Crescent Software for PDQ & QuickPak Pro Libraries, and great
- example programs! VIEW was compiled w/Microsoft Quick BASIC v 4.5
-
- Versions prior to 2.20 were around 40K, the new version is about
- 12.5K -- the difference is the Crescent PDQ library.
-

- & Cost: similar programs). It was written to "freely" distribute with
- Nam Viet News, or similar publications (those who wish to
