BKVIEW
A Presentation Manager Utility
ver. 2.00 ( 32 bit )
BKVIEW is FREEWARE!
It was written as a personal quick and cheap utility to choose which .INF
files I wanted to view. This version replaces ver. 1.00 which only searched
in one directory and was a 16 bit application compiled with Microsoft( Yukk! )
C 6.0. This version is a 32 bit app compiled with C++ for OS/2 by Borland!
I can't begin to say how pleasing it is to use a real compiler for OS/2.
BKVIEW uses the VIEW.EXE program which comes with the OS/2 system
and merely gives a list box for all the .INF files that are in the directory
\OS2\BOOK. Double click on your choice and it will run VIEW.EXE and bring up
the .INF file you chose. After your .INF files loads in BKVIEW terminates
itself. The default directory is \OS2\BOOK, but if you want to use other
directories to put all your .INF files then BKVIEW will accept any valid path
as a command line parameter or in the OPTIONAL PARAMETERS box in the settings
menu if you put it on the desktop. In fact, you can specify up to three
different paths that BKVIEW will search for .INF files.
For instance, if you put all your .INF files in D:\OS2\INFFILES then run
BKVIEW at the command line : BKVIEW D:\OS2\INFFILES or put D:\OS2\INFFILES in
the OPTIONAL PARAMETERS box in the settings menu if you place it on the
desktop.
Another example could be : BKVIEW D:\OS2\BOOK D:\BCOS2\BIN C:\DOS
BKVIEW would look in all three paths for .INF files.
BKVIEW comes "as is" with no charges or guarantees. If it is of any use
to you enjoy it! Any comments can be sent to my address below or posted on
GENIE to GROBINSON13.
