Churchville, PA ======================================================================== -----TABLE OF CONTENTS-------------------------------------------------- PREFACE INTRODUCTION TO MULTIVU SHAREWARE CONCEPT ACKNOWLEDGMENTS WHY AND HOW TO BECOME A REGISTERED USER ======================================================================== -----PREFACE------------------------------------------------------------ This package contains the MultiVu (tm) text file finder/viewer for Windows (Version 2.0), by Ivden Technologies, Inc. This document contains only a brief description of the package and its features, along with instructions for its installation. Detailed documentation is included in the package, but it is in archived form, and is more easily read after installation. If you've ever wished you could quickly browse many files, of any size, (even several views of the same file), mark text, set bookmarks, assemble selected information and export it to a file or the clipboard, then MultiVu is the program for you. MultiVu is a shareware program. This evaluation version includes all features of the program, and is not crippled in any way. You may use it for up to 30 days, without charge (see README.1ST for more details). If you like the program, and wish to continue its use after this evaluation period, you are required to pay for the program (see REGISTER.FRM for more details). Any fee you may have paid to others (disk vendors, dealers, etc.) to obtain this evaluation version was a fee for their copying and distribution services, rather than a payment for continued use of the program. -----INTRODUCTION TO MULTIVU-------------------------------------------- MultiVu (tm) Ver. 2.0 is a Microsoft Windows (tm) hosted text file viewer. MultiVu will run under Windows 3.1 and is intended to be upward compatible to 32-bit versions as well. MultiVu has a number of powerful features which will make it a handy tool for technical professionals, business persons, in fact all computer users who need to look at text files regularly in their work. Some of these features include: Find text and files on a hard disk or network drive View files up to 2 GB in size Browse contents of compressed archives View unformatted or in word wrapped or hex mode Launch the application associated with a document Copy, move, delete, and rename files Multiple Document Interface Drag 'n' drop support Multi-select files to open Select font and text color for each document Choose different screen and printer fonts Files 'preloaded' for smooth scrolling Load, search, or print while browsing Maintain bookmarks in each open file Compatible with Windows 3.1, Windows 95, and NT -----SHAREWARE CONCEPT-------------------------------------------------- "Shareware" is a term used to describe a system for distribution of software. Under the shareware concept, software may be freely copied and passed along to others, or distributed through bulletin board systems, shareware distribution companies, etc. As a recipient of a shareware program, you may use the software for a short trial period to determine if it meets your needs. If it does, you pay the registration fee. By paying the fee, you are granted the right to retain the software for your use. If the software is not suitable, then you may discard it. The shareware system provides substantial benefits to the computing community (of which YOU are a member): a) You get to try out the software BEFORE you buy it so you know exactly what you're buying. b) Shareware is substantially less expensive than most commercial programs. You don't pay for costly marketing programs and fancy packaging. c) You get access to a MUCH broader base of available programs. Thousands of excellent programs have been written by expert programmers who would never consider marketing commercially. Through the concept of shareware, these people make their programs available to the community. Usually, all they ask in return is a small fee to reward them for the time and effort they've put into the program. The system is based entirely on the honor system, and generally works quite well. (Most people are honest and wouldn't violate the trust placed in them by the author of the software.) Shareware is NOT free software - the author counts on your integrity. See Why and How to Become a Registered User. You are encouraged to copy this software and pass it along to others who may be interested in using it. -----ACKNOWLEDGMENTS---------------------------------------------------- MultiVu (tm) was co-developed by Phil Grenetz and Gordon Hegfield and is published by Ivden Technologies, Inc. as part of a line of personal productivity utilities. -----WHY AND HOW TO BECOME A REGISTERED USER---------------------------- Here's a small sample of what people around the world are saying about MultiVu: "MultiVu .. is a smooth operator, letting you load, search, or print while you're browsing. All this, and MULTVU10.ZIP (87K) is just $19.00 to register." Windows Online Review, Issue 94, February, 1995 ====================================================================== ".. it can scan your hard disk for files that contain a certain keyword. Undoubtedly you've had occassions that you knew you had a file somewhere which contains certain information, but you had no idea where to find it. Splendid!" ".. from a group of American shareware-authors who we know to release fast and technically well-written software, so we have good hopes that future versions will be even better. MultiVu is well worth registering." PC Active, the Netherlands, June 1995 issue. ====================================================================== In exchange for registering your copy of MultiVu, you will receive: - the current version without the registration reminder - a copy of Smiler Shell, about which the following comments have been made in the press: "New way to bring the power of DOS into Windows" (Brian Livingston, InfoWorld) "Very slick! Extremely handy and well-designed." (Windows OnLine Review). - the next version of MultiVu when it is available. In addition, you will receive a listing of other Ivden products.

You will need about 200 KB of available disk space on the hard drive on which you plan to install MultiVu. To install, you need to perform the following steps: o Copy the file MULTVU20.ZIP to the directory of your choice o Extract the contents of this archive file. The procedure for doing this varies, depending on the form in which you received the package. In all likelihood, the fact that you are reading this text means that you already have the necessary tools and knowledge to perform this step. If not, you should be able to obtain directions for this from the same source from which you received the package. o Add MultiVu to any Windows program group, e.g., Accessories. [Consult your Windows user manual or select Help from the Program Manager.] MultiVu's icons and bitmaps are imbedded in the executable file. They will automatically appear when the program is run. o If you want to have a file viewer at the ready throughout a Windows session, add MultiVu to your Startup group or add MULTIVU.EXE (prefixed with the directory where you placed it) to the LOAD= command in your WIN.INI file. o To keep MultiVu out of the way, you may check off Run Minimized in the properties dialog presented when you add MultiVu to a program group. This will allow you to take full advantage of MultiVu's drag 'n' drop support. YOU'RE READY TO GO Once you've completed the installation, you should consult the documents (README.1ST and files with the extension "DOC") which have been installed. In particular, read at least the "Introduction" and "Shareware Concept" sections of the file README.1ST. That document will tell you how to invoke the program, and will give you other information you need to properly evaluate MultiVu. We hope you enjoy the product. To remove MultiVu, perform the following steps: o Delete all files in the directory in which you installed it. o If you added MultiVu as an item in a program group under Program Manager, you may delete the item by clicking on its icon to select it, pressing the Del key, and responding to the confirmation prompt. o Then, if you created a program group for MultiVu, you can delete it by pressing the Del key when no other program icons remain in the program group window. o Finally, delete the file MULTIVU.INI from your WINDOWS directory. -----USAGE NOTES-------------------------------------------------------- The following notes should help you get a quick start in using MultiVu. -----CUSTOMIZING THE TOOL----------------------------------------------- On startup, MultiVu looks for a file called MULTIVU.INI in your installation directory. It records default settings to be used for files and windows opened during the current session. These settings, which govern various formatting, convenience, presentation, and other behaviors, have global default values which are used the first time you load MultiVu. The settings can be changed at any time during a session by selecting Change Default Settings from the Options menu. Each of the following paragraphs addresses a category of settings. See the online help for additional information. Some categories of settings are covered only online. Directory Settings ------------------ MultiVu maintains relatively small temporary files on your hard disk or network file server. This can be a problem for network administrators trying to avoid multiuser conflicts. To solve this problem, you can choose Change Default Settings from the Options menu and specify the appropriate directory for temporary files by entering a directory path into the edit window labelled Temp Directory, such as the following: c:\winapps\junk An alternative solution is to set the environment variable MVPATH to the directory where temporary files should be stored. File Type Settings ------------------ The File Open and Scan Disk dialogs present a list of file types to which the dialog's action is restricted, e.g., Text Files (*.txt). You can set the default file type by choosing Change Default Settings from the Options menu and entering text into the edit windows labelled Default File Type Text and Default File Pattern. Enter in the edit window labelled Default File Type Text the text describing the file type you wish to be presented by default in the File Open and Scan Disk dialogs, Write Files (*.wri) for example. Enter in the one labelled Default File Pattern the specification, including wild card characters, of fle file names to be displayed along with the default file type, *.wri for example. Multiple patterns must be delimited by semicolons. Format ------ On displaying and printing a document, MultiVu automatically uses preset defaults. You can override this default behavior by choosing Change Default Settings from the Options menu. By default, MultiVu expands each tab to 5 spaces. You can override that with your own default by entering a different value into the edit window labelled Expand a Tab. By default, MultiVu loads, displays, and prints a document without formatting. You can override that with your preferred format by selecting it in the Initial Format section of the default settings dialog. You select it by clicking the applicable radio button with the mouse. You can also change the view format of the file in the current window at any time from the View menu. By default, MultiVu converts unprintable characters to the pipe symbol ( | ) for display and printing purposes. This ensures that if such characters appear in a document, you will be aware of it. You can change this substitute character to any printable character, including a space by entering the preferred character in the edit window labelled Substitute a ... for Control / Graphic Character. OPENING FILES There are three methods for opening files with MultiVu. With drag 'n' drop, you can select one or more files from the Windows File Manager or third party File Manager replacement. It must be a drag 'n' drop server. You may drag these files to the MultiVu icon (if running minimized) or to any part of the MultiVu main window, if the window is visible. You must keep the left mouse button down until you reach the target area, then release it. MultiVu also provides the common File Open dialog box, accessible from the File menu, Open option. It offers multi-select capabilities, like File Manager. See the online help for detailed instructions as needed. Third, you can create associations between MultiVu and specific files or all files with a particular extension, e.g., txt. See the topic: LAUNCHING MULTIVU BY FILE ASSOCIATION, in the online help, for details. ===== Warranty ========================================= IVDEN TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
