===============================================================================
Tiny Viewer is a public domain program. This copy was supplied with 4FILES,
and was obtained from the shareware distribution of DOSREF by Dave Williams.
I have found TV to be useful with 4FILES because the text display uses all
rows on a 25-row screen, and it shows text in whatever text colors are setup
in 4FILES. Buerg's LIST or the 4DOS internal LIST command may be more to
your liking however, since they have a text "find" feature, which TV lacks.
Neither Buerg's LIST or the 4DOS LIST will display with a dark grey back-
ground, which is what I like; TV handles it fine. What you may miss in TV
is an indication of what line you are on and the "find" feature (but hey,
it's free!). Switching the 4FILES configuration between using LIST and
TV.COM takes only moments, and the change can be made "session-only."
TV will operate ONLY in 80x25 video text modes.

╘══════════════════════════════════════╛
Welcome to TinyView (called TV from here on)! This program is tiny (958
bytes), it can view ANY size text file, it displays lines up to 1024
characters wide, and it uses all 25 lines of your display.
TV filters and properly displays ALL 256 characters from the IBM character
set. Try using TV on a file that contains the ASCII character number 9
(TAB), 10 (line feed), or a 12 (form feed) and see what happens. Now, use
your file viewer and see what happens.
SYNTAX: TV filename.ext (Paths and drive letters are fully supported)

│ FINAL NOTES │
└─────────────┘
One final note: TV is to be considered a Public Domain program. What
does that mean? It means that you can freely give this program to
anyone who wants a copy. The only stipulation to this offer is this:
you must include the file TV.DOC with evey copy of TV.COM.
