Program: S3 Smart View (SSV)
Date: 04/20/93
Version: 1.00
Author: George Spafford
Purpose:
To automatically select a viewer based on the extension of the file name that
it is given. Actually, SSV can be used in any instance where a program must
be run based on the extension of the file name that is passed to it. In other,
words, data processing tools, editors, linkers, etc.
Install:
Place SSV.EXE in a directory that is in your PATH statement if you wish to call
it from anywhere. While in that directory, run the SSVCFG.EXE program to
create the data file that SSV will use. This SSV.CFG configuration file MUST
be located in the same directory as SSV.EXE. You can name SSV.EXE any way
you like. You can NOT rename the SSV.CFG file. If you need more than one
copy on a system, rename the SSV.EXE file and place each copy in a different
directory. When the newly named SSV.EXE program is run, it will determine its
source path from DOS and find its corresponding SSV.CFG file there.
Procedure:
First, run SSVCFG to add, delete or modify viewers in the configuration file.
Note, SSV can handle up to 200 viewers. This number may be smaller depending
on the amount of memory available at the time when you try to run SSV.EXE.
In the configuration file, if specify an extension of # for one viewer, that
viwer will be the default viewer if there isn't a viewer preconfigured for
a file when you try to run it.
If you have a command line that requires that the file name be placed in
a certain location along with some other commands, use the tilde (~) to
signal SSV where to insert the file name to be viewed. If you do not use
a tilde, then the file name to viewed will be appended to the end of the
view command by default. Think of each entry in SSVCFG as a DOS command
line when you set it up.
Once you have create the configuration file, all you need to do to use SSV
is to invoke SSV with the filename you want to view:
SSV myfile <- will select the viewer for my file.
The file specification can contain valid DOS wildcards such as * and ?.
