Fileview is a Microsoft Windows based tool that allows you to
browse files on your hard-drive or network drives. Unlike
other Windows browsers, Fileview does not load the file into
memory, allowing you to browse files that are larger than
available memory while leaving room for other windows
applications to run.
To use Fileview, select a file to browse from the File/Open
dialog as you would select a file in any other windows
program.
Once you are browsing a file, you can scroll through it and
search for text using DOS style or Regular Expression style
search patterns.
