1.0 Introduction
AFS is a menu file viewer intended for ease of viewing of multiple or
single ANSI coded text files on IBM or compatible computer systems. AFS
is written using Borland International's Turbo Pascal 6.0. Considerable
effort has gone into making an easy to use menu driven ANSI file reader.

3.0 How to use AFR
Requirements - IBM or Compatible Computer with ANSI.SYS or equivalent
loaded.
AFR may be called in two ways.
1. By typing AFR at your DOS prompt with no command line parameters.
Ex. AFR
This brings up a point and shoot type directory where all you need
to do is move to the ANSI file you would like to view and hit your
return key. Hitting the Return key on a directory entry will move
you to that directory. (I recommend having AFR in a directory that
is in your DOS path for ease of use.). You may also type in the
path and/or filename to view and you will be shown the file.
**** Note ****
Calling AFR in this fashion will list every file in
the directory for you to choose from. AFR will list
whatever file you select no matter what type of file
it is. ANSI files will be shown as they would be
from your DOS prompt by typing "Type filename".
2. By typing AFR at your DOS prompt command line parameters.
The command line parameter needed is the file spec for the files
you wish to view.
Ex.#1 "AFR *.ANS" -> lists only files with the extension .ANS
Ex.#2 "AFR Welcome.ANS" -> lists only file named welcome.ans
Ex.#3 "AFR *.CLR" -> lists only files with the extension .CLR
4.0 Other features
When in AFR you have a choice of 2 different types of directories by
hitting your space bar.
By following the instructions on the directory listing you may also
sort your directories.
