VIEW.EXE -- Copyright (c) 1991-2
Usage: VIEW [d:\PATH\FileName.Ext] [/BW]
VIEW C:\DOCS\MYFILE.TXT {Displays PATHed file}
VIEW MYFILE.TXT {Displays file in CURRENT Directory}
VIEW /BW {Displays in MONO mode}
VIEW MYFILE.TXT /BW {Displays file in MONO Mode}
VIEW {Instructions on screen}
ReVIEW a text file on the screen using cursor keys, TAB, HOME,
END, PgUp, and PgDn; Escape to QUIT at anytime. The information
enclosed in the brackets "[...]" are options. You may include a
FileName.Ext. Or, drive (d:) and PATH, and the FileName.Ext.
And/or simply, indicate you want VIEW to display selected files
(for an LCD or composite monitor) in "bright yellow" on "black"
background. See examples. VIEW defaults to MONO mode if you
have a monochrome card.
VIEW will provide the user with a PATH option, or press <Enter>
to display files in the current directory. Instructions are on
the screen.
Caution: If an erroneous PATH is input, you will crash the program. The
error will occur by simply putting "UTIL" rather than "\UTIL" as
the correct PATH.
Source & Gary D. Moore, and Crescent Software (QuickPak Pro) Library.
Resource: The demo file, FileView.BAS, code was my pattern to VIEW a file.
I give credit to Ethan Winer, Paul Passarelli and all the staff
at Crescent Software for PDQ & QuickPak Pro Libraries, and great
example programs! VIEW was compiled w/Microsoft Quick BASIC v 4.5
Versions prior to 2.20 were around 40K, the new version is about
12.5K -- the difference is the Crescent PDQ library.
Remarks VIEW is NOT intended to compete with Vern Buerg's LIST (nor
& Cost: similar programs). It was written to "freely" distribute with
Nam Viet News, or similar publications (those who wish to
distribute VIEW.EXE may do so if the publication is also free).
Please include: VIEW.EXE and VIEW.DOC Comments are welcome!
Donations are accepted. All donations are given to a couple
scholarship funds. You may make the check payable to "Memorial
Scholarship Fund" or Gary D. Moore. Thanks!
Any and all businesses, governmental agencies (or organizations
receiving tax payer funds), and not-for-profit entities "must"
register VIEW with Gary D. Moore. Include information about your
organization and how VIEW will be used. I, Gary D. Moore,
reserve the right to grant "use" of VIEW.EXE and other programs
written by me. A "fee" may be required from such organizations.
Misc: Crescent Software programming tools and other (fantastic)
products are available at 203-438-5300. LIST is available from
