V1.4
(C) Copyright 1993 by John Babina III
This software is for OS2.0+, it will not work under 1.3!
Well here it is... Yet another text file viewer. I wrote this one because I
was sick of all the other viewers out there. The only ones I really liked
were built into other programs. So here it is... A small, extremely FAST
text file viewer.
Features
:
- Real time scroll bar
- Handles ANSI codes & tabs
- ASL file requester
- FAST! scrolling
- Environment parameters (interlace mode, color)
- Text search
- Looks great!
To install, place it in your C: directory. You will probably want to rename
it MORE, or whatever you call your current poor text viewer.
To run, just type MOOR <filename>. If there is not enough contiguous memory
to load the file, or the file does not exist you should get an error message.
Open, Quit, and Search can now be activated via pulldown menus. More will be
added in the next version.
Command Keys
:
Escape - Quit and exit MOOR
Up/Down - Move up/down in the file 1 line at a time
Shift Up/Shift Down,
Backspace/Space,
Page Up/Page Down - Move up/down a screen at a time
Left/Right - Move left/right two positions
Shift Left/Right - Move 20 character positions to the left/right
Home or ` - Go to the top of the file
End or 0 - Go to the bottom of the file
Keys 1-9 - Move to that percentage in the file
(I.E. pressing 3 would place you 30% into the file)
L - Load a new file
S - Search for a text string
Environment Settings
:
There are currently two options that can be set.
Code
Option
Description
Default
I Interlace Places screen in interlace mode Non-Interlace
C Color Swap Swaps screen text/background colors Black on White
To change these options, place this statement in your startup sequence:
"setenv MOOR <Command Codes>" (Order of codes does not matter)
For example, to swap the screen colors to white text on a black background
and put Moor into interlace mode, the command would be:
"setenv MOOR IC"
Miscellaneous Info
:
Tab size is currently set at 5. This will be able to be changed in later
versions.
Soon to come
:
- Preferences in pulldown menus
- Custom screen size
- Printing options
- Whatever else I can think of
This program is currently FreeWare. You may freely distribute MOOR as long
as the original archive is kept intact. You cannot, however, sell this
software. Fred Fish has my permission to include MOOR in his disks.
(If anyone knows how to submit a file to Fred Fish, please let me know.)
Like anyone, I appreciate getting things in the mail. Drop me a not and tell
me what you think of MOOR! If you want to help send me through college, feel
free to send me $$.
