CONTENTS

The NeoSoft Viewer allows you to look at the contents of the files on your system. It displays files in Standard text, graphics and hex modes. The viewer can also display the contents of compressed ZIP and Lzh format files, allowing you to extract and view individual or multiple files. You may also play WAV format audio and AVI format video files. Select any of the topics listed below for more information on how to use the viewer.

Following are common computer-related terms with which you may be unfamiliar and which are not defined elsewhere in this file.

ASCII

This is a text-only format which is able to be read by most text editors and other software applications. ASCII format text does not contain controls for setting fonts, indents or other page layout features. Some specialized characters cannot be directly saved or displayed as ASCII format text.

.AVI

This is a file format for animation or video clips.

BMP

This type of file is used to store bitmap (paint type) pictures.

Bytes

Computers store and process information as a series of on (one or white) and off (zero or black) instructions. A series of eight on or off instructions is known as a byte (or an ASCII character). The number of bytes used in a file determines how much memory and disk storage space is required by that file.

Clipboard

When you use the CUT or COPY commands (in the Edit Menu), the currently selected file or text is written to a temporary storage location, known as the Clipboard. From the Clipboard, the file or text may be PASTED to a different location or imported to another application. See your Windows documentation for more information regarding the Windows Clipboard.

Directory/Subdirectory

The files on your disks are usually organized into groups known as directories. Each directory usually contains files related to each other. Directories may also contain other directories which are called sub-directories. The directory which contains a sub-directory is known as a root directory.

Drop-down Menu

When you click on items in the row of categories displayed just below the NeoSoft Viewer title bar, a list of commands and functions will be displayed. You may click on a command or function on these lists (menus) to enable it. You may also use the ALT key in combination with the underlined letter in the category title to drop down the list of selections.

.EXE, .COM, .BAT or .PIF files

These letters following a file's name indicate that the file is used to start a software program.

HEX

This is a more convenient way to represent the  ones and zeros which make up each byte of information in a file. Since each byte is made up of a series of eight ones and zeros, it saves space and is easier to write bytes using the Hexadecimal (base 16) format. Hex represents each string of eight characters with a digit ranging from 0-9, plus the letters A-F (e.g., Hex "F" equals 15 in normal decimal notation). Since Hex is written using the base-16 system, each digit to the left represents  a multiple of 16 times the digit (e.g., Hex "1E" = 30, and Hex FF = 255). The viewer displays both the Hex value, with the ASCII text for the values in the column to the right.

.ICO

These letters following a file's name indicate the file contains a Windows-type icon image.

Icon

An icon is a small picture representing a commonly used function. Simply click on an icon to activate that function.

Line

When displaying a file using either Standard or Hex views, the file is listed out with the file contents arranged in lines of text.

Path

A file's location on your system is called its "Path." The path consists of the disk drive letter, plus the directories and subdirectories needed to go from the disk's root directory to the subdirectory containing the file (e.g., a file on the C drive which is contained in the CANDIES subdirectory of the COOKBOOK directory would have a path of C:\COOKBOOK\CANDIES\.

.PCX

This is a common image file format for paint-type and scanned pictures.

Print device

The print device is determined by the way you have configured Windows. If you wish to print to a different device, you should consult your Windows documentation for instructions on how to add or change the current print device.

String

A string is a sequence of characters (e.g., a sentence is simply a string  of characters).

Text Editor

A text editor, for the purposes of this application, can be NotePad or any word processor which is capable of editing and saving files in plain ASCII text format.

.WAV

This is a common Windows-based audio file format.

Wildcard characters

These characters are used as placeholders during searches. The asterisk (*) character and the question mark (?) are used as wildcard characters. The ? acts as a placeholder for a single character, while the * acts as a placeholder for all characters in that position and following. E.g., using the string NO?E.T*  to search for  file names would find all files which began with NO and which had any character in the third position and had an E in the fourth position, and which ended with the letters .T plus any characters following the T (such as NOTE.TXT, NOME.TOT or NODE.TNT).

.WMF

These letters following a files name indicate that the file contains a Windows Metafile type graphic.

Zip or Lzh formats

These file formats are produced by utilities which take one or more files and produce a new "compressed" file which occupies less disk space. Materials sent from BBS's and over the Internet are often compressed using these formats to reduce the time they take to send over phone lines. NeoSoft Viewer can view the contents of these files and extract/decompress them to your disk.


File Search Name and Location

You may search for files having certain names or which reside on certain disks or directories, either alone or in combination with other parameters.

Use the File Name/Mask  field to specify a filename, or use wild card characters to search for a range of files having common characters (e.g., use the * wildcard in the string "S*.EXE" to find all files which begin with "S" and end in ".EXE"). Using "*.*" will search for all files. You may specify more than one file name mask in this field by typing them into this field, separating each with a space.

Use the Location  field to specify a certain disk or directory to search. Click on the arrow button to the right of the field to select from the drives and directories available on your system.

Checking the Include Subdirectories  box will also search any directories contained under the drive and/or directory specified in the Location  field. Click on the Search  button to locate files which match the filename, drive/directory and any other features you specified.

To select other search parameters in addition to Name & Location,  click on the tabs at the bottom of the dialog before selecting the Search  button.

Use the Clear  button to disable all previously entered search parameters. Selecting the Close  button will return you to the main viewer without performing a search.


File Search Date

You may search for files which were created on a certain date, or between a range of dates, either alone or in combination with other parameters.

Click on the Search All files  button to ignore file dates. Enable the Limit the Search  button to search for only files created or last modified on the date(s) you specify.

Clicking on the Between  field will only look for files created or last modified between the dates you enter into the fields to the right. Clicking on either of the During the Previous  buttons will allow you to limit the search to files created or last modified during the amount of time you specify prior to the computer's current date. Click on the Search  button to locate files which match both the date and any other features you specified.

To select other search parameters in addition to Date,  click on the tabs at the bottom of the dialog before selecting the Search  button.

Use the Clear  button to disable all previously entered search parameters. Selecting the Close  button will return you to the main viewer without performing a search.


File Search Time

You may search for files created or last modified during certain hours, either alone or in combination with other parameters.

Click on the Search All files  button to ignore the file time stamp. Enable the Limit the Search  button to search for only files created or last modified during the times you specify.

Checking the Between  box will only look for files created or last modified during the time period you specify. Type the start of the time period in the field at the left and the end of the time period in the field at the right. Use the During the Previous  field if you wish to look only for files created or last modified during a certain number of hours prior to the current time on the computer's clock. Click on the Search  button to locate files which match both the time and any other features you specified.

To select other search parameters in addition to Time,  click on the tabs at the bottom of the dialog before selecting the Search  button.

Use the Clear  button to disable all previously entered search parameters. Selecting the Close  button will return you to the main viewer without performing a search.


File Search Size

You may search for files of a specified size or range of sizes, either alone or in combination with other parameters.

Click on the Search All files  button to ignore file size. Enable the Limit the Search  button to search for only files matching the specified size parameter.

Use the Bytes  field to specify the size (in bytes) for the files to locate. Use the field to the left of the Bytes filed to specify whether to only find files which are equal to  the number of bytes specified, greater than  the number of bytes specified, less than  the number of bytes specified, or between  the number of bytes specified. Click on the Search  button to locate files which match both the file size and any other features you specified.

To select other search parameters in addition to Size,  click on the tabs at the bottom of the dialog before selecting the Search  button.

Use the Clear  button to disable all previously entered search parameters. Selecting the Close  button will return you to the main viewer without performing a search.


File Search Contents

You may search for files containing certain text, either alone or in combination with other parameters.

Click on the Search All files  button to ignore file contents. Enable the Limit the Search  button to search for only files containing the text string which you type in the space provided.

Checking the Match Case  box will only look for files in which the text appears using the same UPPER and lower case capitalization you used when entering the text string. Click on the Search  button to locate files which contain both the text and any other features you specified.

To select other search parameters in addition to Contents,  click on the tabs at the bottom of the dialog before selecting the Search  button.

Use the Clear  button to disable all previously entered search parameters. Selecting the Close  button will return you to the main viewer without performing a search.

File Selector Browser

The Select a File  browser aids you when locating files to view or compare.

At the top of the dialog is the Location  field, which you may use to specify the path to search. Alternatively, you may scroll through the directories and files shown in the File  window (see below) which is situated just below the Location  field.

To the right of the Location  field are three icons. Clicking the icon on the left will toggle between placing the drives and directories at the top and bottom of the list of files displayed in the File  window. The other two icons switch between horizontal and vertical orientation for the File  and Preview  windows.

In the File  window, you may double click on a drive letter  to change to that drive, or double click on a directory folder  to open that directory.

Double click on the folder pointing left (followed by two dots) to go back one level in the directory tree.

Double clicking on the folder which is followed by a backslash (\) will bring you to the root directory of the current drive.

Clicking on a filename will select that file and load it into the Preview  box (when Show Preview  is enabled). When the desired file is located, use the OK  button to load that file into the main viewer. The main viewer can display several files and previews at the same time.

If you wish to see the size, date and other information regarding the files displayed in the File  window, enable the Show File Details  check box at the bottom of the dialog.

If you know a file's name, you may type it in the File Name  field to bring it into the Preview window. If you know a part of the file's name, you may use wildcard characters in the File Type  field. If you wish to search through the entire drive for a File Name,  enable the Search Entire Drive  function at the bottom of the dialog. You may also limit your file list by entering multiple file types separated by spaces (e.g., *.BAT, *.EXE, *.COM).

Use the Cancel  button to abort the Open File  function.


Directory Selector

Use this feature to locate drives and directories to search. If you know the drive/directory location, you may type it in the Location  field at the top of the dialog.

To the right of the Location  field is an icon which is used to toggle between placing the list of drives at the top and bottom of the list of directories/subdirectories displayed in the window below.

In the Drive/Directory  window, you may click on a drive letter  to change to that drive, or click on a directory folder  to open that directory.

Click on the folder pointing left (followed by two dots) to go back one level in the directory tree.

Clicking on the folder which is followed by a backslash (\) will bring you to the root directory of the current drive.

Select a drive and/or directory by clicking on that drive/directory. The drive/directory will appear in the Location  field at the top of the dialog. Click on the OK  button to select the drive/directory location.

Use the Cancel  button to abort the search for Location .


Print

The Print  dialog allows you to send the contents of the file being viewed to the print device installed in Windows.

The Print What  header gives the currently loaded file's name and shows the Windows print device and port to which the file will be sent.

Margins  allows you to adjust the unprinted space around the edge of the paper. Note that many printers will not print all the way to the paper edge, and that you may have to increase the margin area to avoid cutting off portions of your text. You may specify measurements in increments of either Inches  or Centimeters  by clicking on the radio buttons on the right side of the dialog. If the file you are printing is an image, the margins are not available and the image will be centered on the page.

Header/Footer  allows you to print a line of text at the top and/or the bottom of each sheet printed. Use the "&f" code to automatically insert the filename in either the header or footer. You may also use the "&p" code to insert page numbers in either the header or footer text. "&d" will insert today's date, and "&t" will insert the current time. If you wish to print the "&" character in the header or footer, use "&&".

Other printing Options  allow you to print only a portion of the text which you've highlighted, let you print long lines wrapped to fit onto the paper size used in your printer, and let you send multiple copies to the printer.

Use the Setup  button to change the orientation, paper source bin or other Windows print information. The Print  button begins the printing process, while the Cancel  button returns you to the Viewer without printing.


Find

The Find function allows you to specify a string of text to locate within the file currently selected in the main viewer.

Type the text to locate in the Find What   field. If you wish to only locate text which uses UPPER and lower case capitalization in the same places as you entered, enable the Match Case  check box. If you have more than one file loaded into the viewer and wish to search all these files, enable the Search All Open Files  check box.

The Direction  control allows you to specify whether to search through the file Up  (backward) or Down  (forward).

The Origin  control lets you start the search either from the Cursor  position, or from the Top  of the file.

Click on the Find  button to begin searching for the text. You will be returned to the main viewer with the text string located within the file. Clicking on Cancel  will abort the search process and return you to the main viewer.

To find subsequent occurances of the same text located using Find , use the Find Next  command (or use the F3 key) to continue the search.


GoTo Line

Use this function to go to a line within the file. Type in the line number to which to jump (note that the default number is the line on which the cursor is currently located). Press OK  to jump to the specified line, or press Cancel  to return to the main viewer without going to a new location.

The F4  key also may be used to invoke the GoTo Line function.

File Run  ...

When an EXE, COM, BAT or PIF program file is currently selected in the viewer, you may use this function to launch that application.

Note that if another type of file is currently selected, this function will not appear in the menu.


File Compare

When you have at least two files loaded into the viewer, you may choose this option to have NeoSoft Viewer search the contents of the files for differences. E.g., If you found two files on your disks having the same names, you could use Compare  to see if one was a duplicate prior to deleting the file.


View Image, Archive or Media

Clicking on this tab (or pressing the F8 key) will display certain text, image, animation/video and sound files as they are viewed (or played) in the programs used to create them. Note that this tab will only appear under the viewing area when such a file is detected, and when this feature has been enabled using the Set Preferences function.

Preferences Directories

You may use the first field on this page to specify a directory into which the viewer will temporarily store information. Click on the arrow button on the right side of the field to browse through your directories. If you wish temporary information to be stored into the directory which DOS and Windows are already set up to use, simply enable the Use DOS' Temp Directory  box.

You may also select a text editor to use when the Edit File  function is chosen from the File menu. Use the arrow button at the right of this field to select an editor from the programs installed on your system.

If you wish to set other preferences (Font/Colors or Miscellaneous settings), click on the corresponding tabs at the bottom of the dialog. Use the OK  button to begin using the changes you have made, or use the Cancel  button to return to the main viewer without changing anything.
