ReadIt text file viewer Version 2.0 Copyright 1990, 1991 DLJ Software Welcome to ReadIt--the text file viewer for sighted persons as well as individuals who use speech access programs and synthesizers. We assume that you are using ReadIt to read this documentation. Use the F1 key (HELP) to find out how to move around this file. Help screens are available from almost every part of ReadIt--making this manual almost unnecessary. But taking a few minutes now to review this file will make ReadIt that much simpler to use.

That means that you are granted a limited license to use this software for the purpose of evaluating it's usefulness to you. If you continue to use it you are expected to pay for it. What could be simpler? If you don't use it... don't pay for it. On the other hand, if you find it useful, become a legitimate user by sending in the registration form with your registration fee. With that said, let's get down to what ReadIt is and what it has to offer you. ReadIt is a text file viewing program. It is used to read, search, and clip from ASCII text files. ReadIt was written by a blind computer programmer/user who uses a text-to-speech software package to access computers. The goal behind the development of ReadIt was to produce a text file viewer that was easy to use for both sighted and persons who use speech software and synthesizers. Some of ReadIt's features are listed below. A fuller list can be found in the file FEATURES.TXT. Those features that may be especially useful to blind users are followed by an "S" in parentheses (S). - Lets you read large text files even if the entire file cannot be loaded into memory. - Lets you specify the file to be read from the DOS command prompt or from the filename entry window. No need to exit program to read another file. - Provides a file "pick list" which enables you to travel through your hard drive's directories and select the files you wish to view. - Has a smart line wrap feature which breaks long lines so that all text is displayed on screen. There is no need to scroll the text left or right when reading. Lines are broken between words instead of in the middle of them. (S) - Has variable speed continuous scroll feature which lets you read "Hands free". - Has switchable display mode. The "slow" display mode is useful to those who use speech. (S) - Enables you to execute DOS commands from within text viewing. - Has pull-down help screens (F1) that can be accessed from almost anywhere within the program. - Lets you set a "bookmark" within the file you are reading and save that bookmark when you leave the file. The bookmark is automatically reloaded when you next load the file. Now let's talk about some of the features that were included for those who use speech--some that have already been mentioned and some that have not. For the most part, if your speech program will speak text sent through BIOS and will follow the cursor, ReadIt will be easy to use. - You can set up ReadIt to use slow or fast print for updating the status window. Line number updating, however, will always use fast printing. - Separately from above, you can set up ReadIt to use fast or slow print for the text window, error messages, command prompts, and a few other things. - The pick list uses a combination of fast and slow print routines. Also, the cursor (although hidden) follows the highlight bar. The cursor may also be moved left and right on the highlight bar to check the spelling of filenames. - Some tones have also been added for audible feedback. For example, when you press a key to remove a help screen or error message, or press ESCAPE to cancel a command, a low tone will be sounded to indicate that you have returned to your previous position in the program. Now that you have an idea of the features that ReadIt has to offer, let's talk about how to use them. We will begin with how to start ReadIt and how to load a file from the DOS command line, the filename entry window, or the file pick list. We will then cover the commands available while viewing a file--from navigating the file through searching for text, marking text blocks and writing them to disk, to executing DOS commands. After this, we'll talk about the ReadIt Customizer (RIC.EXE) which lets you change a number of things in ReadIt to suit your needs and preferences. Finally, we will cover some legal stuff and talk about how to register ReadIt and how to get in touch with it's author. 2. RUNNING READIT ================== Running ReadIt is quite simple--just type READIT and press the ENTER key. In the following three sections we will talk about loading files from the DOS prompt and from within ReadIt and also talk about the "pick list". 2.1. Loading A File From The DOS Prompt The format for ReadIt is: READIT [DRIVE][PATH][FILESPEC] Where the square brackets ([]) mean that the item within is optional. DRIVE is a legal DOS drive letter followed by a colon ("A:", "B:", etc.). PATH refers to a legal DOS directory path such as "\" (the root directory), "\DOS\" (a sub-directory of the root), "EXAMPLES\" (a sub-directory of the current directory), etc. FILESPEC is either a specific filename such as "READIT20.DOC" or a group of files specified by using the DOS wild cards "*" and "?". You may include any one or two of these, all three, or simply type "READIT" and press ENTER. When you specify a filename, ReadIt will attempt to load and display that file. But when you do not specify any filename or you use the DOS wild cards, ReadIt will display a "pick list" from which you may choose a file to load and read. Below are some examples of loading files from the DOS command prompt. Following each example is a short description. C>READIT READIT20.DOC Run ReadIt and attempt to load READIT20.DOC from the current directory. C>READIT \DOCUMENT\READIT20.DOC Run ReadIt and attempt to load READIT20.DOC from a sub-directory (named DOCUMENT) of the root directory of the currently logged drive. C>READIT *.DOC Show a "pick list" of all files with an extension of "DOC"in the currently logged directory. C>READIT A: Show a "pick list" of all files in the currently logged directory on drive A. The effect is of having typed "READIT A:*.*" In short, the format for specifying the drive, directory, and/or files is the same as it is with the DOS dir command... With one exception. when you specify a directory but wish ReadIt to assume "*.*", You must end the directory name with a backward slash (\). 2.2 The Pick List If you run ReadIt without specifying a file name, or specify a group of files using the "*" and/or "?" then you will be presented with a file "pick list". When the pick list is shown the status panel displays the current drive and directory. 2.2.1. Old Pick List Features You use the following keys to move around the pick list. UP and DOWN arrow keys - Move the highlight bar up and down. PAGEUP and PAGEDOWN keys - Move the highlight bar up and down one page. HOME and END keys - Move the highlight bar to the top or bottom of the list. Pressing any other alpha-numeric key will tell ReadIt to move the highlight bar to the file that begins with the pressed character. Pressing the same again will result in the highlight bar moving to the next matching file name. The ENTER key is used to select a highlighted entry. If the entry is a file, it will be loaded and you will be placed into file viewing. If, however, the entry is a directory, ReadIt will change to that directory and display another pick list. Pressing the ESCAPE key removes the pick list and puts you into the file entry panel. Those who use speech access programs can use the LEFT and RIGHT arrow keys to check the spelling of the highlighted file name. 2.1.1 New Pick List Features Starting with version 2.0, there are several new features available when the pick list is displayed. Minimal file management: F3 - Delete highlighted file. ReadIt will prompt you to confirm deletion. Files marked as "Read only" cannot be deleted. F4 - Rename highlighted file. ReadIt will prompt you for the new file name. The F1 key is still the help key and the F10 key is still the DOS command key. All other function keys are reserved for possible future use. Sorting the pick list: ALT-F1 - Sort list by filename. ALT-F2 - Sort list by extension. ALT-F3 - Sort list by size. ALT-F4 - Sort list by date and time. ALT-F5 - Sort list by extension and within extension groups sort by file name. ALT-F9 - Switch between ascending and descending order. Last two new pick list features: ALT-F10 - Pick list display switch. Switches between names and extensions only and full file information including size, date, time and attributes. All other ALT- function key combinations are reserved for possible future use. CTRL-ENTER - Change to highlighted directory and exit ReadIt. 2.3. The Filename Entry Panel When you exit the pick list or the currently viewed file by pressing the ESCAPE key ReadIt will put you into the "filename entry panel". You may enter any combination of drive, directory, and file spec as described earlier in section 2.1. You can also press ENTER to use the specification already displayed or use the UP and DOWN arrow keys to display and select previously entered file spec. Pressing the ESCAPE key from the filename entry panel will exit ReadIt. 3. VIEWING A FILE ================== Once you have chosen a file to read--either by typing it's name from the DOS prompt, the filename entry window, or by selecting it from the pick list--ReadIt will place you into text viewing mode. Before we explain the features available in text viewing mode we will describe the layout of the screen (the default layout) and the differences between display modes. 3.1. The Screen Layout ReadIt's screen is divided into three (3) panels or windows. The top window is the status panel which displays information about where you are and what switches are set. The status panel is one (1) line high. The next panel is the text display window. This is where the text files are displayed. The text display is 22 lines high. At the bottom of the screen is the help/command panel. This window is used to display a list of key commands currently available. Also, all prompts and error messages are displayed here. The help/command panel is two (2) lines high. You can change the colors and positions of these panels using the ReadIt Customizer (RIC.EXE) program. Also, once you are familiar with ReadIt, you can use RIC to remove the help panels. 3.2. Text Display Methods ReadIt can use either of two display methods to write text to the computers screen. The "slow" method writes text to the screen using BIOS routines. Most screen reading software depends on this display method in order to "capture" text going to the screen. While this method is useful for the visually impaired, many people like the computer's screen to be updated more quickly. This is where the direct display routines come in. While you are viewing a text file you can change between "fast" and "slow" display modes by using the display mode switch (F8) key. This is a toggle--meaning that it is used to switch from either mode to the other. The current display mode is shown on the status line as either "SLOW" or "FAST". Also, when the F8 key is pressed a tone will be sounded to indicate which mode is being switched to. 3.3. Moving Around The Screen To move the cursor around the screen you must first put ReadIt into "Slow" display mode. If the status panel displays the word "FAST" then press the F8 key to put ReadIt into slow mode. Once in slow mode, the following keys can be used to move around the screen. CURSOR UP - Move the cursor up one line. CURSOR DOWN - Move the cursor down one line. If the cursor is at the top or bottom of the text viewing window, these keys cause the text to scroll down or up one line respectively. CURSOR LEFT - Move the cursor to the left one column. CURSOR RIGHT - Move the cursor to the right one column. When used in conjunction with the CONTROL key, CURSOR LEFT - Move the cursor left one word. CURSOR RIGHT - Move the cursor right one word. Finally, HOME - Move cursor to beginning of line. END - Move cursor to end of text on line. And in conjunction with the CONTROL key, HOME - Move cursor to top of viewing window. END - Move cursor to bottom of viewing window. 3.4. Moving Around The File ReadIt has a number of commands to help you move around the file including the regular key commands and, starting with version 2.0, the goto command and the jump panel. The regular key commands Use the following key commands to move around the file. CURSOR UP - Move up one line. CURSOR DOWN - Move down one line. PAGE UP - Move up one page. PAGE DOWN - Move down one page. CTRL-PAGE UP - Move to beginning of file. CTRL-PAGE DOWN - Move to end of file. The goto command You can quickly go to any particular line in the file by using the goto command (F7). Just press F7 and ReadIt will prompt you for the number of the line to go to. Type in the line number and press ENTER and if the line number is in the file, the display will change with the specified line at the top. If, however, you press the ESCAPE key the command will be cancelled and you will be returned to text viewing. The jump panel Look at the numeric keys above the qwerty keys. The numbers 1 through 9 make up the jump panel. The jump panel cuts the file into slices which can be "jumped to" simply by the press of a key. The 1 key will take you to the first line in the file and the 9 key will take you to the last line of the file. Now look at the keys--the 5 key is half way between the 1 and the 9 so it will take you to the middle of the file. The 3 key is half way between the 1 and the 5 so it would take you to the point in the file half way between the first line and the line in the middle of the file. And so on. If the entire file has not been read into memory when you press one of these keys then ReadIt takes a calculated "guess" as to where to jump to. 3.5. Continuous Scroll Mode ReadIt has a continuous scroll mode to allow you to read any portion or the whole of a text file "Hands-free". Instead of continuously pressing the DOWN ARROW key or the PAGE DOWN key to read a large file you can tell ReadIt to scroll through the file until you tell it to do something else. The following commands are available in continuous scroll mode. Any other key will stop the scrolling and if that key is a valid ReadIt command it will instantly perform it's duty. Because of this, it is NOT a good idea to use the ESCAPE key to leave the continuous scroll mode as the ESCAPE key will take you out of the current text file. 3.6. Using The Text Search Features Besides simply being able to read a text file, sometimes we want to find instances of certain words or phrases. You do this in ReadIt by using the FIND commands. The three (3) key commands for searching for text are: If you press F2, You will be prompted with "Find:". At this point you type in the characters you wish to search for and press ENTER to continue. You can also press ESCAPE to return to text reading without carrying out a search. After you've typed in text to search for and pressed ENTER ReadIt will prompt you for options to control the search. The options available are: B - Backwards search. The search begins at the current line and proceeds backwards through the file. C - Case sensitive search. The found text must exactly match the case (upper and lower) of the text you have typed in. F - First non-space search. The first character of the found text must be the first non-space character on the line. G - Global search. The search starts from the beginning of the file and proceeds forwards. If you want to use any one or any combination of these options, simply type it's letter. The order and case of the letters is not important. If you specify both G (global) and B (backwards), the backwards option will be ignored. It should be noted that if no options are specified, the search will be a forward search in which the case and placement on a line of the found string is unimportant. Once you have typed in any options you wish to use, a press of the ENTER key will begin the search. If a match is found, the line will be printed. If no match is found an error message will be printed and you will be prompted to press any key to continue. When you then press a key, a low tone will be sounded--verifying that you have been returned to text viewing.Once you have typed in any options you wish to use, a press of the ENTER key will begin the search. If a match is found, the line will be printed. If no match is found an error message will be printed and you will be prompted to press any key to continue. When you then press a key, a low tone will be sounded-- verifying that you have been returned to text viewing. Press the F3 key to repeat a search using previously entered search text and options. The only exception here is that if the global (G) option had been specified, it will be ignored when the F3 key is pressed. Finally, when you have the display set to "slow", you can mark text on the screen to be used in a search. Below are the steps you take to perform a "mark and search". 1 - Move the cursor to the beginning of the text you wish to mark. 2 - Press F4 to mark the beginning. 3 - Place the cursor to the right of the text you wish to mark and press the ENTER key. After that it is the same as if you had pressed F2 with the exception that you will not have to type any text. Two things to remember when using the "mark and search" feature: 1 - Text to be marked must reside on the same line. 2 - Once the beginning of the text has been marked, only the left and right arrow keys or the ENTER key should be used. Any other key will unmark the beginning of the text. 3.7. Setting And Returning To Bookmarks Sometimes when we are reading a book we want to temporarily flip to another section or even close the book and later come back to the place we'd left. The same can hold true when we are reading a text file (shareware documentation or computerized book). With the printed book, we use a physical bookmark (a piece of paper, a card, etc) to save our place. In ReadIt, we use an electronic bookmark. While there is only one bookmark available, you can move it to wherever you need. To set a bookmark or to move a previously set bookmark press the F5 key. Instead of automatically setting the bookmark, ReadIt will prompt you to press ENTER to set new bookmark or ESCAPE to exit back to text reading. This was done so that if you accidentally pressed F5 you have an "out". To return to a bookmark press the F6 key. If a bookmark has not been set you will hear an error tone. Otherwise, ReadIt will prompt you to either press ENTER to goto bookmark or ESCAPE to exit back to reading mode. Again, this was done so that you have an "out". When you exit a file and a bookmark has been set, you will be asked if you wish to save the bookmark. If you do, type a "Y" and press the ENTER key. If you enter a "Y", the bookmark will be saved to a "READIT.BMK" file. The next time ReadIt loads this text file it will automatically take you back to the bookmark. By default, a bookmark file is created in the same directory that contains the files that you read. Since the files that you read may be on crowded floppy diskettes or in several directories on your hard drive, you can instruct ReadIt to save all bookmarks in the same file by using RIC.EXE. You can remove from the bookmark file a previously set bookmark for the file currently displayed by pressing the ALT-F5. ReadIt will prompt you to press ENTER to discard the bookmark. 3.7. Marking Blocks And Writing Them To Disk Beginning with version 2.0, ReadIt lets you mark blocks of text to be written to disk. To mark a block of text, move the cursor to the first line of the text to be marked and then press the letter T. Next move the cursor to the line that is to be the last line of the marked block and press the letter B. You can expand or contract the marked text simply by moving the cursor and pressing either the letter T or the letter B. Press the letter U to unmark a marked block. You can quickly move to the top or bottom of the marked block by pressing either ALT-T or ALT-B respectively. Once a block of text has been marked, the block may be written to disk by pressing the letter W. ReadIt will prompt you for a filename to write the block to. Enter a filename or press the ESCAPE key to cancel the command. If the file already exists, you will be prompted to enter an A to append the block to the file, O to overwrite the file, or ESCAPE to cancel the command. Once the block has been written, the block will automatically be unmarked. The letters used for the block commands may be in upper or lower case. 4. EXECUTING DOS COMMANDS ========================== You can execute DOS commands from within ReadIt by pressing the F10 key. ReadIt will prompt you to enter a DOS command, press ENTER on a blank line to go to DOS, or press ESCAPE to exit. If you press ESCAPE, you will be returned to the point in ReadIt from which you had pressed F10 (text viewing, filename entry panel, or the pick list). If you decide to execute a DOS command or go to DOS, ReadIt will check to see if there is enough memory. If so, it will execute your command or take you to DOS. When you go to DOS, you can perform any function or run any program for which there is enough memory. When you are done, type "EXIT" to return to ReadIt. If you tell ReadIt to perform a DOS command and there is enough memory, ReadIt will execute the command, freeze the screen, and prompt you to press any key to continue. After you press a key, you will be returned to the point in ReadIt from which you had pressed F10. 5. THE HELP SYSTEM =================== From anywhere in ReadIt (except error messages) you can pull down a help screen that is relevant to where you are in the program. All help screens are full-width and begin at the first line of your computer's display. The text is printed directly or through Bios depending on how you have the display mode set. When you leave a help screen a short low tone is sounded to signal that the help screen has been removed. 6. THE READIT CUSTOMIZING PROGRAM (RIC.EXE) ============================================ We have included the ReadIt Customizer program (RIC.EXE) to enable you to change some of ReadIt's attributes. Following is a list of the things you can do with RIC.EXE. - Change the colors of status panel, the text display area, and the command/help panel. Also the pick list. - Change the positions of these three panels. - Turn off the two line help panels. This leaves more room for displaying text on the screen. - Change the default display mode for the status window. Default refers to the settings in effect when the program is first run - Change the default display mode for everything else. - Set the length of all of ReadIt's prompts. - Select a drive and path for ReadIt to put the READIT.BMK file. If you do this, all bookmarks will be saved in the same file on the specified drive and path. The default is for ReadIt to save bookmarks to a file in the directory containing the file you are viewing. - Add file extensions for ReadIt to skip when displaying a pick list. ReadIt already skips files with extensions of "EXE", "COM", and "ARC". When you run the ReadIt Customizer program (RIC) you will be prompted for the filename (and path if necessary) for ReadIt. RIC doesn't mind if you've renamed READIT.EXE as long as you tell it the new name and where to find it. After you have entered the name and pressed ENTER, you will be taken to RIC's main menu. NOTE: (1) You only need to type in the drive and directory path if READIT.EXE is not on the drive/path from which you are running RIC.EXE. (2) The filename AND extension must be entered. For example, typing "READIT" would not be accepted, ".EXE" must also be entered ("READIT.EXE"--the default). RIC is mostly menu driven. Simply move the highlight bar to your choice and press the ENTER key to select it. RIC tries to anticipate your next menu choice and highlight it for you in an attempt to reduce the number of keystrokes necessary to set up ReadIt to suit your needs and preferences. Consequently, we will restrict our discussion of RIC to a few areas. 6.1. Changing Colors Once you have selected a screen/panel you wish to change the colors of, RIC will display the current colors of that selection in the text display area. The status line will display what color can be changed (foreground/background) and the help panel will tell you what your options are. Use the UP and DOWN arrow keys to change the colors and the LEFT, RIGHT arrow keys or the SPACE BAR to switch between foreground and background. Once you've decided on a color combination that pleases you, press the ENTER key to select it. Or press the ESCAPE key to return to the "Change colors" menu without making any changes. Another place in RIC where you don't simply highlight a menu item is the "Add/edit file extensions" choice from the "Changes" menu. 6.32. Add/Edit File Extensions Using RIC, you can add or change the file extensions that ReadIt skips when displaying a file pick list. The extension list already includes "EXE", "COM", and "ARC" because these are file types likely to be on most computer users' hard drives. ReadIt is a "text" file reader so it skips these files. If you wish to add the extensions of non-text files that reside on your hard drive, select this choice from the "Changes" menu. RIC will display a list of any previously entered user selected file extensions. Up to fifteen (15) user extensions may be added. Move the highlight bar to an extension you wish to change or to a blank line to enter a new extension and press ENTER. A small box will pop up and you will be able to: edit a previously entered extension using the BACKSPACE key; delete a previously entered extension by pressing the SPACE BAR followed by the ENTER key; or add a new extension. You can add new extensions one after the other until: 1 - You press ENTER on a blank entry. 2 - You press the ESCAPE key. If you press the ESCAPE key after typing an extension and before pressing ENTER that extension will not be added to the list. 3 - You have added the limit. Up to fifteen extensions may be added. Once you have added and/or changed all the extensions you wanted to, press the ESCAPE key to return to the "Changes" menu. 6.3. Closing Remarks About RIC We have attempted to make RIC quick and easy to use. Because of this we have written very little here about it and have included very little help in RIC (other than the help panels). We believe that once you are familiar enough with ReadIt that you want to make changes in it you will find RIC very easy to use. 7.
