Short: Very fast text viewer
Author: Martin Blom (lcs@lysator.liu.se)
Uploader: Martin Blom (lcs@lysator.liu.se)
Type: text/show
The first official release of Textread, 1.03, was released in November
1992, exactly two years ago. I wrote it for two reasons:
1) I wanted to learn how to code system friendly programs under Release 2
2) I didn't think PPMore's text routines were fast enough.
Speed was the most important issue, memory had lower priority. This is
still the case, even if I have replaced my own hardware-banging blitter
routines with system calls (=slower), and have optimized memory usage.
This new release does, although it has many new features, only use about
5500 bytes more when loaded into memory, and the executable file is only
about 8800 bytes longer than 1.03.
Textread was designed with "Amiga User Interface Style Guide" beside the
keyboard, so I think you will feel comfortable with the layout.
Textread requires V37 of the system libraries (Release 2.04).
If found on your system, Textread will take advantage of asl.library V38,
XPK and power- packer.library (V35). Powerpacker and Reqtools are no
longer needed. Neither is V38 of asl.library.
CHANGES:
Release 1.11
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
V38.64 V38 of asl.library is not needed anymore, v37 will
do, but you loose the screenmode requester.
