You may use TextDisplay instead of LESS/MORE. You can use mouse or keyboard
to read the text. And it has only 41% of LESS' size and it is totally written
in machine code.
How to use it :
---------------
CLI : TextDisplay [filename]
WB : double click the icon
There a lot of new things - press the right mouse button and take a look :
Preferences : cut on the right : the text will be lost on the right
side but the window needn't be updated.
Or the text will be continued in the
next line.
use tab to set cursor : Tabs will be used to set the cursor.
Well, for examples, DevPac sources codes
will be easier to read.
repeat on : The two SLOW arrows will now move
the text until you stop pressing the
button.
exit at bottom : You can automatically leave TextDisplay
when you reach the bottom.
All these options can be switched on and off .
Set Tab : Enter how many spaces are a tab [3-16].
Activate the Gadget and press RETURN to
exit.
Print Print file : The whole text will be printed (of course,
you need a printer !)
Print page : The page you can see will be printed .
replace tabs : If this option is activated, all tabs will
be replaced by spaces (You will need it if
you want to print a DevPac sources code,
or this instructions)
This option can also switched on and off.
Set label You can set up to 5 labels.
Go to label TextDisplay will jump to the label.
But you can also use the keyboard (I tried to use the same keys like
LESS):
key function
( with or without SHIFT)
q : exit
e,j,CR : move down text one line
d,f,SPACE : " " " 10 lines
y,k : move up text one line
b,u : " " " 10 lines
If the text file has an icon you can preset some options. On the Workbench
click icon and menu Workbench/Info. Default tool has to be ":TextDisplay".
Use enter at ToolTypes the following things (in capital letters):
CUT=YES or CUT=NO : cut text on the right (Yes/no)
SET=YES or YES=NO : use tab to set cursor (Yes/no)
TAB=x TAB=xx : set tab (3-16)
Use SAVE to save entries.
New Features of V1.5
- TextDisplay uses its own faster TEXT function.
- You can move around the whole text
- the number of window refreshes has been reduced.
- select INFO and you can see the total file size and the number of lines
(that's important if want to print the text- believe me ....).
About V1.51 :
- the routine to cut off the text the right side has been rewritten.
Well, it's time to say thanks to Uwe Gerlach from Darmstadt/FRG for his
suggestions. Please, if you have suggestions (or a report about a bug ),
send them to me (a post card is enough).
