                        A Simple File Management Utility
                             Written by A.L. Peters

This program is freely distributable. This is not shareware. As free
software, you may do with it as you wish as long as the original program
coding remains unmodified. DarkStar Systems does not assume any
responsibility for the misuse of this software, and shall in no way be
held liable for any damages incurred through the misuse of this program or
any bugs that may still (but should not) exist within it. We have made every
effort to test all of the current features of this program to ensure that
everything is a-ok.

Please note that this version supports only 386 or higher processors due to
use of 386 instructions in the program code. If demand dictates it, an
alternate version of IV exists that supports 808x/80286 processors can be
made available upon request.

This document file contains brief information about InnerView, hereafter
abbreviated as IV. IV was written to support the needs of a programmer
working with a lot of files and source code. It can prove useful to the
everyday computer user as well. The program design for IV reflects the
intent to minimize the program size and keep things as efficient as possible.
As such, some of the features of IV will take a little bit of time to
become comfortable with.

IV does not attempt to encompass all of the functions and features of a large
file management system such as the DOS shell or the Windows file manager.
IV simply performs a basic set of operations on files. The program is very
simple to use. There are no configuration or associated files that are needed
other than the IV.EXE program itself.

IV can operate as a command line program such as XCOPY, FORMAT, and TYPE, but
with only a small subset of the available functions. IV provides a suitable
replacement for all of the following DOS command line functions:

DELTREE,FIND,MOVE,PRINT,XCOPY,DELETE,MKDIR,RMDIR,CD,RENAME,REPLACE,ATTRIB,
COPY,DIR

                        Command Line Arguments

In its simplest form, just use IV and follow it with a file name, like this:

IV IV.DOC

In this way, IV acts as a replacement for the TYPE command.

IV also incorporates a directory navigator. To bring this screen up, just
enter a path name without specifying a file name or pattern, such as:

IV
IV C:\
IV \WINDOWS\SYSTEM
IV B:

Note the first example: IV by itself brings up the current directory.

If you specify a file name or pattern in the command line, you will NOT
get the directory screen. IV accepts any form of file pattern with wild
cards and will match to all files in the specified directory, such as:

IV C:\*.BAT
IV *.C
IV D:\EXS\DAT\TEST1.BIN
IV FILE??.*

IV can display both binary and text files. A file is first sampled to
see what kind of data it contains. If IV cannot format the file as a
regular text file, you will see the file displayed as raw binary data.
A command line option of -h forces the display into a third type of display
mode, commonly known as the hex dump. For example,

IV -h IV.EXE

IV attempts to determine the file format by sampling a small portion of the
total file. You can fool IV by changing formats within the same file, in
which case a normal text display can become binary junk as you page down.
However, in the vast majority of cases, one can determine whether a file
is normal text by simply looking at part of the file.

IV can read multiple end-of-line conventions in 4 formats:

carriage return + linefeed (normal MS-DOS)
linefeed only (normal UNIX)
carriage return only
linefeed + carriage return

As long as only one type of end-of-line covention is used, the file can be
displayed as a normal text file. Tab characters are expanded according to the
tab size, which defaults to every 4th column up to 80 columns.

Files that contain long lines greater than 1000 characters will not be
displayed as normal text. Files with long lines usually belong to some
internal format of a wordprocessor document, where linebreaks are not used
within paragraphs. This types of file will be displayed in binary format.

The remainder of the command line options are specified in the template
for IV that follows:

IV [?][-h][-d####][-t##][-u][-f] [DRIVE:][PATH][FILE PATTERN]

All values enclosed in [] are mutually exclusive and optional.

The ? option displays a small help message.

The -d option sets the maximum number of directory entries IV will
allow into memory at one time. The default is 1000. If you have a very long
directory you may increase this up to 4000 entries, as in:

IV -d4000 C:\fonts

You may also decrease the entries to as low as 500.

The -t option sets the TAB spacing for text files when they are both
displayed and printed. The default spacing is every 4 columns. You may use
a spacing from 0 to 16. If you use a spacing of 0, TAB characters will be
removed from the file before being displayed/printed.

The -u option is the command line equivalent of the bytes used analysis mode,
which will be discussed later. Only use a directory path with this option.

The -f option is the command line equivalent of the find files mode, which
will be discussed later. You must specify a file pattern with this option.

The rest of the this document describes the directory navigator, and the
system by which binary and text files are viewed.


                        The Directory Navigator

The right side of the screen contains the file directory, the left side
contains the command options. The following keys are available for
viewing the directory:

PgUp/PgDn             Previous/next page
Cursor Up/Down        Scroll the directory
TAB                   Advance to the next file with a different 1st char.
HOME                  First file in directory
END                   Last file in directory
RETURN                If entry is a directory, change to it
                      If entry is a file, view it
SPACE                 Toggle directory/file on/off

NOTE: The lower left corner of the screen shows 2 lines for entries selected
and bytes selected. The total number of entries in the directory relate to
files only, not directories. Therefore, when you select a directory, the
selected status lines on the screen will not change.

Press Esc or Q to quit IV from this screen.

Operations are performed on the current directory in 2 modes. If you have
toggled any files with the SPACE bar, the command operations will work with
the selected files only. The file/directory that the selector bar is
currently positioned over will NOT be part of a command operation. Most
options except for Delete, XCopy, and Move will ignore selected directories.
Operations that specifically work with files such as viewing will ignore any
selected directories.

If no files are selected, then command operations only work on the file that
the selector bar is currently positioned over.

For example, if no files are selected, the delete (Del key) option deletes
the file the selector bar is highlighting. If 3 files are selected, then the
delete option applies to the 3 selected files, regardless of where the
selector bar is positioned. During group processing of files, you can use
the Escape key to cancel a command operation on the current and all
subsequent files.

Note that the top two entries of any directory display are the ".." and "."
file names, for parent and current directory. The default sort order for
IV is by file name. When you select the parent entry "..", you will be
positioned at the exact position you left off in the parent directory. This
path history feature allows you to quickly navigate between parent and child
directories. Command options follow.


                        RETURN: Display current file.

The file will be analyzed to see if it is binary or text format. In addition,
if the file is a .ZIP file, the files in the .ZIP will be displayed rather
than the file contents. A .ZIP file can archive a DOS directory tree intact,
therefore, IV will read the ZIP directory and display it as a normal
directory. If the ZIP file contains subdirectories, then you will have to
navigate the ZIP file as you would a normal DOS directory tree. Almost all
commands are disabled when viewing ZIP files, other than the directory
navigation options. Pressing RETURN on a file that is within a zip file will
extract the file and display it to the screen. You must have PKUNZIP.EXE on
the command path for the extract option to work. Note that IV will create
a temporary directory called IV_TMP on your C: drive when extracting the
file prior to viewing. The contents of this directory are not deleted, so you
may want to periodically clean out IV_TMP.

If the file is binary, the file will be shown in pages of raw information.
The light colored text correponds to normal readable data. The darker
characters are not part of the normal ASCII character set. Use the keys
shown at the bottom of the screen to navigate through the binary file. Press
Escape to abort a group file selection or RETURN to view the next file
selected. Note that IV accepts PC graphics symbols in the extended ASCII
range of 174 to 223 as printable text, as will most printers.

If the file is text, IV will make one pass through the file to analyze the
contents. You can use the same keys as the binary viewer to navigate through
the file. You also have 3 extra options.

Press E to edit the file. IV will simply shut itself down temporarily, free
up its memory usage, and call the DOS EDIT command with the file. WARNING:
The DOS edit command calls the QBASIC code to edit the file, and unless you
are editing a small text file, you will probably end up with an out of
memory error. You can use any other editor, provided it is called EDIT and
on the command path.

The J option allows you to jump to a specific line number in the file.

The F option allows you to search the file for a string of text. You may
start the search from the current position shown on the screen, the start of
the file, or continue from a previous search call (using the More suboption).
Once you have used a search string, you may re-search for more occurences
of the same string by used the More suboption. When entering a text string
to search with, normally the string search is case-insensitive. To perform
a case-sensitive search, begin the string with the tilde (~) character. For
example a string of ~Break will cause a search for ther word Break, which
must start with an upper case B. To include binary data in a search string,
you must enter each digit as a hex byte, preceded by the backslash. For
example to search for end-of-line sequences (the return + linefeed
combination), you would enter \0d\0a as the search string. To search for
a backslash character, repeat the character (\\).

IV analyzes text files in groups of 10,000 lines. If you want to view a very
large file exceeding 10,000 lines, you must use the TAB key to advance to
the next group of 10,000 lines.


                        H: Display file in hex format

The file is shown in hex format on the left side of the screen and raw
binary format on the right side. The options are the same as those used by
the standard file display option. There are a couple of differences.

The J option requires an actual file position. Normally the number you enter
must be a hex string. You can use a decimal string, but must append the #
symbol to the input. For example, the following two strings are equivalent:

FFFF
65535#

The E option invokes a hex editor. A cursor will appear in both the hex
and binary areas. Use the TAB key to switch the edit mode between hex input
and character input. You can identify which mode is in use by the color of
the cursor. You may only edit within the current page of data displayed.
A hex digit must be entered as a 2 digit sequence. Changed data will be
shown in a different color. To save the changes, press F1. Press Escape to
exit edit mode without saving any changes. The F2 and F3 keys allow you to
shrink or expand the file be inserting and deleting a range of bytes at the
current cursor position.

The F option allows you to search for hex or text data. Hex data must be
entered as a string of 2 character hex bytes (i.e. 1aff2b3c46). Text data
if entered in the same way as the ascii mode text viewer, including the
(~) case operator and the (\) binary delimiter.


                        P: Print Files

1. Select whether you want standard or laser printing. Standard printing
   prints to any type of printer using the printer's default settings.
   Laser printing only works with laser printers that support the basic
   HP-PCL language, meaning anything that can emulate at least an HP
   LaserJet II. Pages will use a small lineprinter type font with a landscape
   orientation to fit as much information on each page as possible.

2. If you selected standard printing, you must choose between normal printing
   and verbatim printing. Verbatim printing will cause all data to be sent to
   the printer as raw information. For example, if you print a Microsoft Word
   document to a file using an HP LaserJet 4 driver, you can print this file
   by simply sending the file to the printer in verbatim mode. When you don't
   use verbatim mode, the file will be formatted into pages of text, with a
   proper heading at the top of each page.

3. You can specify an alternate destination for the print job by using any
   device name other than PRN, such as LPT1, COM1, etc. You can also print
   to a file by specifying a file name instead of a printer device.


                        Z: Zip Files

This option and the unzip option rely on the assumption that you have the
programs PKZIP.EXE and PKUNZIP.EXE residing somewhere along the system path.
IV does not contain any internal compression/decompression code that can
operate independant of the PkWare programs. IV simply creates the proper
parameter information and calls PKZIP and PKUNZIP to handle the work.

When zipping files, you can do so in two ways. If you have not selected any
files to zip, then you must enter a file pattern to pass to PKZIP, such as
*.*, *.doc, etc. Use *.* for all files. You will also be asked if any
subdirectories should be included in the zip process. If you select files,
then only the selected files will be added to the zip file. Note that PKZIP
needs to create a temporary file EVERY time you add a file to the archive.
For this reason, you should not create large zip files through the selection
of individual files (i.e. zip files > 10 megabytes). Instead, move the files
to another location and use the wild card option *.* to zip the directory.

Also, IV will not shut down its memory allocations during a zip or unzip
process. The zip programs are smart enough to know how to use EMS and XMS,
so make sure you have at least a megabyte of extra memory before using
the zip or unzip options.

There are a few rules that zip uses.

- If the source drive (what you see in the current directory) is a floppy
  drive, then IV will use drive C as the working drive for storing the
  temporary file PKZIP needs. Otherwise, PKZIP will try to store the
  temporary file on the floppy disk.

- If the source drive is a floppy drive, the volume label will be stored
  in the .ZIP file.

- If you elect to recurse sub-directories, all files and subdirectories will
  be stored in the .ZIP file in the proper format.

- All hidden and system files are automatically added to the .ZIP file.

- You MUST specify a valid path AND file name for the target file since IV
  does not use a source/target directory format.


                        U: UnZip Files

To use unzip, make sure that the selector bar is positioned over a valid
.ZIP file before you press the U key. If you are currently viewing a ZIP
directory, then all selected files will be extracted rather than the entire
zip file.

There are a few rules that unzip uses.

- If the target drive is a floppy drive, the volume label will be extracted
  to the disk if it is available.

- The -d option is used to rebuild the directory structure on the target.

- You MUST specify a valid path for the target file since IV does not use a
  source/target directory format. Do NOT specify a file name. To UnZip a
  file to the current directory, just use a path name of period (.).

If you are currently viewing the contents of a zip file and have selected
files, the unzip option will extract the selected files only. You may not
unzip a selected directory from a zip file. IV is not robust enough to handle
all of complexities of zip files. You must change to the directory in the
zip file you want to extract, select all files, then perform an unzip.

                        O: Order Directory

The directory can be sorted according to name, extension, date, or size.
For the date and size orders, you must choose between ascending or
decending order.


                        N: New Path

Enter anything that you would normally provide with the CHDIR DOS command.
You can specify a drive, path, or both. Do NOT add a file pattern to the
path name. If you press RETURN without entering a path name, then any files
that are selected will be cleared.


                        E: Extension Filter

You can actually enter any valid file name filter, including DOS wild card
characters. The directory will be re-read, and only files that match the
filter will be displayed. The current filter pattern is always shown at the
bottom of the screen along with the current path. Press RETURN by itself to
reset the filter back to *.*.

You can optionally use multiple pattern filters, which can be included in
the directory display or excluded. Examples are shown below:

Pattern: *.C
         display all files with the extension of C

Pattern: *.C,*.H,*.MAK
         display all files with the extensions of C, H, and MAK

Pattern: ~*.OBJ,*.EXE
         display all files EXCEPT those with the extensions of EXE and OBJ

Pattern: C??.LIB
         display all files that have an extension of LIB and a name
         three characters long that starts with the letter C

The tilde (~) character is used to exlude all filters you enter. You must
enter only one tilde character for exluding all patterns, and it must only
appear as the first character in the input text.

Separate multiple patterns with either a space or a comma. The limit on
multiple patterns is 8, or 60 characters total, whichever comes first.


                        A: Select ALL Files

This option is really a toggle. Pressing A will select all files that are not
selected and unselect all files that are selected. Remember to use the new
path command (N) followed by ENTER to clear all selected files.

                        J: Jump to File

Enter the first n character of a file name to jump to in the directory. For
example enter M to jump to the first file that starts with the letter M.
Enter AUTOEXEC to jump to the first file that begins with AUTOEXEC. Normally
the J key jumps to file starts, not including directories. To include
directories in a jump command, precede the string with a colon (:), as in
:DOS.


                        F: Find Files with Replace

This option performs two distinct functions. If no files are selected in the
directory, a recursive search for a file name pattern will be done, starting
from the current path and working through all subdirectories within the
current directory. For example, if you are currently in the directory
WINDOWS, and enter a file pattern of *.DLL, then the find option will search
the WINDOWS directory and all of its subdirectories for files that have an
extension of DLL. As the search progresses, the screen will display all
matches found so far. After the search or each full page of matching files,
you can press F1 to select one of the files currently displayed, then press
RETURN to view the file. When you exit the file display, the directory will
now be set to the file you just viewed. If you do not use the F1 key to
select a file, you will be returned back to the original directory when the
search is complete.

If you have selected some files, then the find option will perform a search
of text strings within the selected files. As the search progresses, you
will see each file with the number of occurences of the string displayed
immediately to the LEFT of the file name. If the file does not contain the
search string, you'll simply see the file name. When the search is complete,
any files that did not have a matching string to the search string will be
de-selected from the directory. You may perform case sensitive matches using
the (~) tilde as the first charcater of the search string, and enter binary
data using the (\) backslash delimiter (see the section on the RETURN command
function for reading files).

You will be asked if you want to replace the search text in ALL selected
files. You have no choice in replacing some occurences of the string in the
files. All occcurences in all selected files will be replaced. If you reply
to the replace prompt with no, then a simple find operation will commence.
If you elect to replace text, you can enter a replacement string. The
replacement text is always case sensitive. You can enter a null string
(empty) to simply remove all occurences of the search string from the files.

NOTE: IV needs to create a temporary output file in the same directory as
the other files. You must ensure there is enough space to hold the largest
file in the replacement file list.


                        B: Bytes Used Analysis

This function examines all files and subdirectories starting at the current
path to see how many files and bytes of storage there are on the drive. This
option was implemented so that you can see which directories are taking up
the most space on your system.


                        T: Tab Settings

Enter a tab size from 0 to 16. A tab size of 0 tells IV to ignore tabs in
the files, thus eliminating tab spacing altogether. A tab size of 1
effectively converts a tab into one space. The default tab size is every 4th
column. Tab settings are used by the standard text viewer and the print files
option.


                        D: DOS Shell

IV will free up all memory allocations except for the IV program itself. You
will be able to do any DOS function that doesn't require a full 500-600K
workspace of conventional memory. Don't try to run Windows from this DOS
shell. Type EXIT to get back into IV.


                        R: Rename Files

The new file name is entered in two parts: a name and an extension. Press
RETURN by itself to leave the current name/extension as is. Press Escape to
cancel the rename session.


                        C: Convert Files


This option performs 4 distinct functions:

1. The end-of-line format is converted.
2. Trailing blanks in text lines are removed, since they are wasted space.
3. Tab characters can be expanded into blanks if specified.
4. Lines can be expanded into paragraphs.

Note that option 4 assumes that you want to convert a text file that has
end of line charcaters after each line into paragraphs, and that you have at
least one blank line separating the paragraphs. The logic is simple, but can
fail on tabular information with intended eol characters which will be
stripped from the lines. Option 4 is hit and miss at best. Use discretion.


                        S: Split/Combine Files

This option was written to allow you to split a file too large for a floppy
drive to fit on multiple floppy disks. For example, if you have a directory
that you just zipped up and the .ZIP file is 2 megabytes in size, you will
need to split the file into 2 pieces to fit onto a floppy disk. There are
two limitations to this version of the file splitter:

1. The target floppy disks can't be formatted or quick-wiped on the fly. You
   must provide floppy disks that are formatted and blank.

2. The file is split into units of 1.4 million bytes each. This means that
   you can only split to a high-density 3.5 inch floppy drive.

Splitting a file:

Move the selector bar over a file you wish to split. You must specify a
complete path and file name for the target area. Do NOT provide an extension,
since an extension will be added for each split file. If the target drive is
a floppy drive, you will be prompted to swap disks when needed. The amount of
free space on the target drive will be checked, but since double-spaced
hard drives do not always give actual free space amounts, you may need more
free bytes than the program thinks you need, if you are using something like
Stacker or DoubleSpace.

Combining split files:

Move the selector bar over any ONE of the split files. A leading split file
signature will be read to see how many units and total bytes are in the
target combined file. If the source is a floppy drive, you will be prompted
to swap disks when needed.

As of version 1.1 of IV, you also have a join/unjoin option in the split
command options. Join will take all selected files and combine them into one
large file. This function was meant to be used to combine multiple standard
text files, such as source code modules. However, you can join binary files
together as well. The join function creates a file with the same name as the
output file, but with an extension of .JFI (joined-file-information). This
text file simply is a directory of the joined files. You must not alter
this file, and if you don't need to unjoin the files, you may delete the
.JFI files. To unjoin a file, position the selector bar over the joined file,
press S to select the split command option, and then U to unjoin the file.
There MUST be a .JFI file in the same directory to be able to unjoin the
file.


                        V: Change Drive

Just press the key for the drive you want to change to. IV will read the
current directory of the drive, which may or may not be the root directory.


                        Del: Delete Files

Press the Delete key to delete one or more files. If you have selected files,
then only the selected files can be deleted. If you have not selected any
files, then only the file/directory that the selector bar is positioned over
can be deleted. If you wish to delete a directory, you must confirm your
decision since all files and subdirectories will be deleted as well, similar
to the DOS 6 DELTREE command. All files will be deleted, including read-only,
system, and hidden files. However, any form of disk error will stop the
deletion process.

If you are currently viewing a ZIP file, then files will be deleted from the
ZIP file, provided that PKZIP.EXE is on the command path. You may not delete
files that exist below the root level of a zip file.


                        I: Change Attributes

This option allows you to set or clear the read-only (R), hidden (H), and
system (S) file attributes for files and directories. You may also change
the date and time for files. Date and time can't be changed for directories.


                        K: Make Directory

This option is identical to the DOS MD (MKDIR) command.


                        M: Move Files

This option allows you to move files and directories from one location to
another. You must specify a valid target path. If the source and target
locations are on the same physical disk drive, then a quick rename of the
files will be done.

Otherwise, the files will be copied to the target location and then removed
from the source location. When you move files, the amount of storage
required will always be 0 bytes for moves on the same drive, since no files
are physically copied. However, this does not include storage needed for
subdirectory creation if you are moving directory trees. Each directory
entry takes one or two clusters of space, or anywhere from 1 to 4K of space,
typically. If a file exists on the target path that has the same name as one
on the source path, you will (a) receive an error message if the move takes
place on the same drive (fast rename mode), or (b) be given the option to
skip moving the file (it will still be deleted from the source path),
overwrite the file on the target path, or replace all subsequent files that
may match on the target path.

                        X: XCopy Files

This option is called XCopy since the letter C is already used by the convert
option. You can copy directory trees with this option. If you copy one or
more directories, it will be necessary to read the tree structure to
determine if you have enough space on the target drive. During a file copy
a progress monitor is used to show how long it will take to copy all files
and any directories. If a file with the same name exists on the target
location, then you will be asked to confirm file replacement.

You may occasionally need to duplicate files in the same directory. By
default, the copy/move process requires a target path that is different from
the current path. To duplicate a file, you must make sure that NO files are
toggled for selection and the selector bar is positioned over the file you
wish to duplicate. Select X to start, then when you are asked where to copy
the file to, enter a single period (.). You will then be asked for a
duplicate file name.


                        Program Colors

The color settings for IV can be changed using the F2 key. To save a new
color setting, you must provide IV with the full pathname to where the
IV file is located. For example, if IV.EXE is in your DOS directory, then
enter C:\DOS as the file path. IV will modify itself on disk with the new
color settings. You can restore the colors back to the original settings

                  hex-format digit. I.E. ~Test\0d\0a)
    E: Call system EDIT command using a shell mode - not available in
       binary view mode and is subject to free memory on system.

    position. You must have sufficient space on the directory drive to
    contain a temporary file.
    <
<

Z: ZIP FILES
>
    If files are selected, then they will be zipped to the target archive.
    If no files are selected, then you must provide a pattern to use in
    zipping the directory (i.e. *.* for all files). You have the option to
    recursively zip all subdirectories as well. PKZIP must be on the command
    path.
<

U: UNZIP FILES
>
    If you are viewing a normal directory, the file that the selector bar
    is positioned over will be unzipped. PKUNZIP must be on the command
    path.
    If you are viewing a zip file (zip directory), then you will be able to
    unzip any selected files in the zip directory.
<

DEL: DELETE FILES
>
    If you are viewing a normal directory:
        If no files are selected, delete the file/directory the selector
        bar is positioned over.
        If files are selected, delete everything that is selected, with or
        without confirmation.
    If you are viewing a zip directory, delete selected files, only if they
    are in the root of the zip directory.
<

O: CHANGE SORT ORDER OF ENTRIES

E: EXTENSION (PATTERN) FILTER
>
    Enter one or more patterns, seperated by commas. To exclude (rather than
    include) the pattern(s), begin the string with a leading tilde (~).
    Press ENTER by itself to reset the filter to *.*.
<

F: FIND WITH REPLACE
>
    If no files are selected, enter a file search pattern (wild cards are
    valid). The current path and all subdirectories will be scanned for file
    matches. Use the F1 key to select a file from the search results screen
    to view any of the found matches.

    If files are selected, enter a search string. As with the F options in
    the hex/binary/text view modes, use a leading tilde (~) for a case
    sensitive search, and the \## sequence for binary data. If you ask to
    replace the search string, enter a replacement string, which is by
    default case sensitive.
<

    join command.

    switch the printer to PCL before printing the file(s).
