PMVIEW
Purpose: A file browsing utility for the OS/2 Presentation Manager. PMVIEW
displays files either in ASCII or in hex, and additionally permits
searching by phrase or jumping directly to a specified point in a
file.
Format: PMVIEW [filename] [/i]
Remarks: PMVIEW can be invoked either from an OS/2 window or from the
full-screen command line. If no filename is entered initially,
a dialog box is opened listing the available drives and files from
which a file may be selected. PMVIEW can also be made a part of
the Program Manager group, in which case it can be selected from a
menu at startup. Adding the optional /i switch, either at the
command line or as a parameter of the Start Programs menu, will
load PMVIEW with a specified filename and immediately shrink it
to an icon, making it instantly available. The selected filename
is shown in the title bar of the display window and as the title
of an icon when the window is minimized.
Search menu options for PMVIEW permit entering either a phrase or an
offset to which the utility will jump. Configuration options permit
customizing the screen color, display font size, display format,
tab stop setting, and whether or not the scroll bars should be shown.
These settings become program defaults, but may be changed at any time.
