A DOS, text mode .INF viewer for OS/2
Beta version
==== ?
INFVIEW is a DOS-mode program for reading OS/2 .INF and .HLP files.
I was waiting for a long time for such a program to show up on some
OS/2 ftp site, but no luck. So, I wrote one. It is my first
program I wrote not only for myself, and it is also my first program
in Turbo Vision. So, do not expect miracles.
To decode the INF files, I relied on the information in the
INF02A.DOC file. As the information in that DOC is not complete,
neither is INFVIEW.
==== How To Use It
To start INFVIEW on an IPF file (.INF or .HLP), pass the full name
(including the extension!) of the file as an argument to INFVIEW.
It does not support multiple documents, so it will process only first
file if there are more then one. INFVIEW shows what it reads and then
displays the table of contents
INFVIEW screen looks much like VIEW.EXE, so if you are using VIEW.EXE
you will also be familiar with INFVIEW.
There are Service and Options menus, but not all commands are
functional yet.
I added one new menu -Video- where you can customize colors and
video modes. I do not have color monitor, so I am sure than
defaults are not nice. After you make any changes, save the new
view.cfg. INFVIEW looks for that file in his exe directory when
started.
==== Thanks
Many thanks to Carl Hauser and Marcus Groeber for INF02A.DOC,
and Peter Brandstrom for his TVToys package.
==== Next ?
This program is still under development, so, if you like it, and
want to help its development, I will appreciate any help I can get.
OK, here we are, yes, I mean money, but I also want any suggestions,
and, much more, incormation about .INF format.
