VIEW.COM
VIEW.COM is a simple document viewing program. It used to be
found on disks from a now-defunct public domain and shareware
copying service. It contains no copyright statement, so I assume
that it is public domain. I provide it for reading Wssindex
documentation-on-disk if you don't have a better tool (such as
LIST by Vernon Buerg).
Usage:
VIEW filename
VIEW does not accept wildcards; the full file name must be
specified (drive and path are optional). To switch documents,
you must quit and restart.
The rightmost column of the screen displays either
< ordinary text line
+ a line too long to display
. beyond the end of file
Bottom line of the screen displays a menu of keys to control
viewing:
Escape - exit program
PgUp/PgDn - move through text a screen at a time
+/- - move through text half a screen at a time
Up/down arrows - move through text a line at a time
Home/End - move to beginning or end of document
Number - single digit n moves to 10n% of the way through
the document. For example, 5 moves to 50%, i.e.
to the middle of the document.
P - prints current screen and any following lines
displayed. Hit P again to stop printing.
Scroll lock - toggles continuous scrolling of text. There is no
control of speed, and it's probably too fast on
most machines.
