- Yet another file reader, you might think, and you are right. I missed
- small XPK-understanding file reader with reasonable feature list, but there
- was none available. Most ( (c) 1992 by Uwe Röhm) can hardly be called
- small (but it surely has 'reasonable' feature list!). I have to admit that
- xMore is currently bigger than I planned it to be, but people don't seem to
- want small programs, they want features! So, what do you get?
-
- + light speed search! No loss of speed even if case insensitive
- and/or backwards!
- + wildcard search. Searching doesn't slow down if only "?" is
- used (in fact it is FASTER when "?" is used).
- + hex mode.
- + FAST scrolling. Should beat Most (pun intended) textreaders
- using customized Text() function with custom screen.
- + displays ANSI styles (no colors) and some backspace-styles
- + variable TAB size! (now you can read those funny #?.c
- files with too much TABs ;)
- + can start one of the four possible editors.
- + freely definable keys!
- + font sensitivity, user definable font.
- + definable window dimensions, defaults to display size.
- + opens on any public screen or opens it's own screen.
- + multiple files from shell, Workbench and file requester.
- + pipe support.
- + clipboard support.
- + Support for Directory Opus compatibility.
- + character conversion.
- + lots of small details like default zoomed size exactly one
- line high. Small things make the difference!
- + can be made resident (has been pure from day one, but who
- remembers to mention everything)
- + OS 2.04 required (sorry, v36 users. There just is too much
- functions in RKMs with text 'this function is broken in V36'
- that I didn't bother dodging them. To pre-2.0 users xMore is
- Yet Another Reason To Update. Come on guys, do you use CP/M
- at work or what ? ;)
- + Can read files containig more than 65535 lines! With hex mode
- this is MUST (256K+ file in narrow window = lots of lines!).
- (This would be suitable place to mention certain well-known
- directory utility and another XPK-supporting reader which both
- assume no-one has REALLY big files, but that could give offence
- to JP and UR, so I won't)
-
- - wildcard search only supports "?"
- - reads whole file into memory (EVERYBODY has min. 1 Meg today)
