-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
1) Launch Options
a) Closing file on launch
Quick View Plus may now be configured so that the view of files and mail
attachments will close when the file is launched. This behavior is
controlled by a command string that the user must enter in the [QVPLUS]
section of the SCC.INI file (located in the Windows directory). To leave
files open in the view window upon launch, no modification to the default
configuration is necessary. To close files viewed upon Launch, enter the
following line in the [QVPLUS] section of SCC.INI:
CloseFileOnLaunch=YES
To disable this setting, the user may delete the command string or set
its value to NO. The only valid values are YES and NO. It is not case
sensitive. NOTE: This command string affects only the launch behavior
from tear-off windows or the AddOn interface. If you launch a file from
the Quick View Plus stand-alone interface (the one you get by
double-clicking on the Quick View Plus icon), its view will always close,
though Quick View Plus will remain open.
WARNING: Setting this parameter to YES may cause problems if you launch
attachments from cc:Mail, Lotus Notes or Novell GroupWise.
b) Setting launch contexts
You can control the contexts where Launch is active by placing the
following command in the [QVPLUS] section of your SCC.INI file (located
in your Windows directory):
LAUNCH={ALL|OIONLY|OFF}
"ALL" enables launching both in the main Quick View Plus program and in
the AddOn interface (accessed through OI's E-Mail integrations)
"OIONLY" enables launching in the main Quick View Plus program, but
disables it in the AddOn interface.
"OFF" disables launching both in the main Quick View Plus program and
in the AddOn interface. When Launch is disabled for all viewers in a
particular context, the Launch icon will be grayed out. NOTE: This
parameter is overridden by the [LaunchOnly] parameter (see below).
c) Launch instead of view
If you prefer to use another application to view specific file formats,
you can configure Quick View Plus so that particular formats are launched
instead of viewed. This feature is supported by Quick View Plus's
Microsoft Mail Attachment Handler, Windows File Manager AddOn, and
Quick View Plus itself. To enable this feature, you must edit the
SCC.INI created by the installation program and add a section as shown
below:
[LaunchOnly]
ID={YES|NO}
ID={YES|NO}
.
.
.
Where 'ID' is a four digit number identifying the file type you wish to
have the LaunchOnly behavior. If the value is set to YES, Quick View Plus
will not view files of that type but immediatly launch the associated
application. The id numbers for formats recognized by Quick View Plus are
listed in "Launch ID numbers" the end of this section. To enable this
feature for file types not recognized by Quick View Plus, add the
following line to the [LaunchOnly] section of the SCC.INI:
1999=ON
For network versions of Quick View Plus, the network administrator may
create a SCC.INI in the Quick View Plus network directory which will be
duplicated for each workstation during node installation.
NOTE: The LaunchOnly settings override the value of the "LAUNCH="
parameter discussed above.
d) Disabling launch for particular viewers
To disable the Launch feature for a particular viewer or group of
viewers, you must edit the SCC.INI created by the installation program
and add a section as shown below:
[DisableLaunch]
ID={YES|NO}
ID={YES|NO}
.
.
.
Where 'ID' is a four digit number identifying the file type you wish to
disable launching for. If the value is set to YES, Quick View Plus
will gray out the launch item for that file type. The id numbers for
formats recognized by Quick View Plus are listed in "Launch ID numbers"
the end of this section.
If there is a conflict between the LaunchOnly and DisableLaunch settings,
such that the same viewer is simultaneously set to launch instead of view
and disabled for launching, Quick View Plus will display an error message
explaining the conflict.
e) Launch notes and exceptions
Some applications do not run well under Windows; launching these
programs is not supported in Quick View Plus:
dBASE III
dBASE IV
Microsoft Excel (Ver 2.10 only)
MultiMate 4
MultiMate Advantage II
Paradox
Paradox 3.0
R:Base 3.1
Samna IV
Some applications do not support loading a file from the command line.
Quick View Plus will launch these programs, but is not able to load
documents for the following applications:
DataEase 4.2
DisplayWrite 2,3,4 & 5
Enable
First Choice
Lotus 1-2-3
Lotus Manuscript
Lotus Symphony
Mass-11
Mosaic Twin
MultiMate 3.6
PC File 5.0

VP Planner 3D
The following applications will cause an inactive window to appear when
the application is exited. You should close this inactive window before
returning to Quick View Plus.
Professional Write 1
MultiMate 3.6
PFS:Professional Plan
If you have difficulty launching files created in applications not found
on the lists above, try running the application independently of Quick
View Plus. You must be able to run a program from Windows in order to
launch the program using Quick View Plus.

2) Integrations
a) General information
During installation you have the option of integrating Quick View Plus
with a variety of other programs. Once integrated, Quick View Plus's
viewers become available directly from within the integrated program.
Programs supporting integration are listed below:
File Managers:
Windows 3.1 File Manager
Windows for Workgroups File Manager
Norton Desktop for Windows
WordPerfect Office for Windows
E-Mail Programs:
Microsoft Mail 3.x for Windows
cc:Mail Client version 1.1 for Windows
Da Vinci eMAIL 2.02 for Windows
Novell GroupWise (formerly, WordPerfect Office 4.x)
Hewlett-Packard OpenMail
GroupWare:
Lotus Notes
TeamWARE Office
Internet Browsers:
America OnLine Web Browser (version 2.5 and above)
Netscape Navigator 1.1 and above as Helper Application
Netscape Navigator 2.0 as Plug-ins
SPRY Mosaic Browser (version 04 and above)
Windows Word Processors:
Microsoft Word for Windows
Ami Pro
WordPerfect for Windows
NOTE: The installation program will automatically integrate Quick View
Plus with your file manager. However, it will only integrate with your
E-Mail or word processor if you select that option. If you did not
integrate Quick View Plus with one of these programs during initial
installation, you may do so by running Quick View Plus's Setup program
again.
b) Understanding the Quick View Plus AddOn window
When invoking Quick View Plus from an integrated Windows word processor,
the stand-alone Quick View Plus interface will be used. However, when
integrated with E-Mail programs or file managers, invoking Quick View
Plus will access an interface slightly different from that displayed
when you invoke Quick View Plus as a stand-alone program. This new
interface is called the AddOn window.
The AddOn window provides an abbreviated tool bar featuring:
Launch
Print
Copy
Search
Search Next
Search Previous
In addition, the display, print and Clipboard options defined for each
file type are available from the drop-down menu to the right of the tool
bar. The name of this menu will change depending on the file type viewed
(Document, Spreadsheet, Database, Bitmap, Drawing, or Archive).
The name of the integrated application (e.g., cc:Mail) will appear to
the left of the tool bar. The View Window is located beneath the tool
bar and will always be full-window width. Tear-off, file management
functions and the accelerator keys are not available under the AddOn
interface.
NOTE: The AddOn window cannot view mail attachments that refer to
subsidiary files for the content and/or attributes. This limitation
affects viewing of R:BASE and DataEase attachments. Such file types can,
however, be viewed directly within Quick View Plus, provided their
subsidiary files are in the same directory as the main file.
c) Understanding the AddOn Manager
Quick View Plus provides an AddOn Manager module that keeps track of
integrated applications and allows the user to enable or disable
integration with a particular application. The AddOn manager is copied
to the Startup group under Windows 3.1 during installation. If the
Startup group is not present under Windows 3.1, or if the user is
installing under Windows 3.0, the AddOn Manager's path and file name
will be added to the Load line of the user's WIN.INI. The result of
either method is that the AddOn Manager will be loaded into memory every
time Windows is run. This is necessary for the Quick View Plus AddOn
interface to be invoked from within cc:Mail, GroupWise or Da Vinci eMAIL.
Though active, the AddOn Manager will not appear on the desktop as an
icon. To access the AddOn Manager, simply click on its icon in the Quick
View Plus group.
The AddOn Manager consists of:
Integrated Application list: The top half of the window provides a list
of all integrated applications. To see information on an integrated
application, or to enable/disable its integration, click on the
application's name in this list.
Information Area: The lower half of the window displays the following
information for the selected application: Name, Description, Version
and State (enabled or disabled).
Enable/Disable: These buttons will enable or disable the integration
of the selected application. When disabled, the application will still
run, but it will no longer be integrated with Quick View Plus. To
reenable integration, select the application and choose the Enable
button.
Note: When finished making changes, choose this button to save changes
and exit the AddOn manager.
d) File Manager integrations
Quick View Plus allows you to integrate with popular Windows file
managers. Each one is explained in the following sections.
Windows 3.1 File Manager:
The installation program will automatically integrate Quick View Plus
with the Windows 3.1 File Manager. When integrated, a Quick View Plus
item will appear in the File Manager menu bar. To view a file from the
File Manager:
- Select the file name in the file list window
- Choose the QUICK VIEW PLUS menu item.
- Choose the View menu item.
The Quick View Plus AddOn Window will appear with the selected file
viewed.
Windows For Workgroups File Manager:
Integration here is also automatic. When integrated, Quick View Plus
will display as a button on the File Manager button bar. To view a file
from the Workgroup File Manager:
- Select the file name in the file list window
- Choose the QUICK VIEW PLUS button in the button bar.
The Quick View Plus AddOn window will appear with the selected file
viewed.
Norton Desktop for Windows:
When Quick View Plus is integrated with Norton Desktop for Windows,
Quick View Plus's viewers are available in a variety of contexts. It
is imperative, however, that the user first set up the Quick View Plus
viewers as Norton's default file viewers. If this is not done, Norton
will use its own viewers instead of Quick View Plus's. To make Quick
View Plus the default viewers:
- Select the Norton Viewer icon to enter its viewer facility.
- From the Viewer menu, choose SET DEFAULT VIEWER.
- From the viewer list box, select QUICK VIEW PLUS VIEWERS.
- Select OK to save your choice.
Once made the default viewers, Quick View Plus's viewers may be invoked
in three contexts:
Using Norton's Viewer facility:
Simply open the Viewer facility by choosing the Viewer icon. Then
use File Open to select a file for viewing. When using a Quick View
Plus viewer, Print and Copy buttons will appear in the upper right
hand corner of the view window.
Using Norton's File Manager:
You access this function by selecting a Norton drive icon. To view a
file, select the file name and then choose the View button. The file
will be viewed in a new window below the drive and directory windows.
To view another file, select its name in the file list window.
Using the Norton Desktop Menu:
When you Integrate with Norton Desktop, the main menu has a QUICK
VIEW PLUS option. Open this menu and choose VIEW to start Quick View
Plus. NOTE: To use the QUICK VIEW PLUS menu, you must already be
viewing a file in the Norton File Manager. Otherwise the View option
under the QUICK VIEW PLUS menu will be grayed out. Of course, you can
still run Quick View Plus as a stand alone application under Norton
Desktop as you would run any other Windows application.
e) E-mail integrations
Quick View Plus allows you to integrate with four popular E-mail
programs. Each one is explained in the following sections.
cc:Mail
To view an attachment in cc:Mail:
- Load cc:Mail and view the desired mail message as you normally would.
- If you are using the default cc:Mail settings, Shift-Double-Click on
the attachment you wish to view. If you have changed the defaults,
Double-Click on the attachment.
- The AddOn window appears. This window is integrated with the cc:Mail
window and cannot be separated from it.
Microsoft Mail 3.x
The following section explains how to use Quick View Plus with
Microsoft Mail 3.x. NOTE: Versions of Microsoft Mail earlier than
3.0 cannot be integrated with Quick View Plus.
To view an attached file within Microsoft Mail 3.x, double click on
the attachment icon. Occasionally you may want to revert to Microsoft
Mail's default behavior with respect to attachments. In default mode,
double-clicking on a mail attachment causes Microsoft Mail to attempt
to launch the attached file, using the associations established in the
Windows Registration Database. This behavior is overridden if Quick
View Plus has been integrated. However, holding down the CTRL key while
double-clicking on an attachment icon will restore the default response
(i.e., instead of being viewed by Quick View Plus, the attachment will
be launched using Microsoft Mail's capabilities).
GroupWise
In Novell GroupWise, you can use Quick View Plus's AddOn interface to
view both the mail message itself and any attachments.
- Load GroupWise and open your inbox.
- Select and open the mail message you wish to work with.
- Double click on the mail attachment you wish to view.
- The AddOn window appears. This window is integrated with the
GroupWise window and cannot be separated from it.
Da Vinci eMail
To view an attachment in Da Vinci:
- Load Da Vinci eMAIL and view the desired mail message as you normally
would.
- Choose the Attachments button or choose ATTACHMENT from the Message
menu. A dialog box listing any attachments will appear.
- Select the attachment you wish to view and then click on the VIEW
button. You can also choose multiple attachments simultaneously in
this list.
- The Quick View Plus AddOn window appears with the selected attachment
viewed. If you selected multiple messages, multiple AddOn windows
will appear.
Some file extensions, such as .ZIP, are not associated with Da Vinci's
Auto-View facility. In these cases, Da Vinci will view the file
incorrectly. When this occurs, Da Vinci will present a list of viewers
to choose from. To correct the problem, choose Auto-View from this
list. To make this association permanent:
- Load the EMAILSYS.INI file into a text editor. This file is located
in the Da Vinci eMAIL directory.
- At the end of the [WINDOWS VIEWERS] area of this file, add the
following association:
Zip Files = *.ZIP
HP OpenMail
Quick View Plus integrates with HP OpenMail via their linked
application interface. This allows users to view OpenMail file
attachments using Quick View Plus's viewers. Due to limitations in
OpenMail, Quick View Plus will support 50 of the most commonly used
OpenMail file types for attachments. Network administrators may change
which 50 file types Quick View Plus will support by modifying the
OPENMAIL.TXT file copied to the Quick View Plus Addon directory
during the network installation. Use a text editor's cut and paste
feature to rearrange the list so that all the file types you want Quick
View Plus to support are at the top of the list. Quick View Plus's
setup program will use this list when performing workstation
installations.
f) GroupWare integrations
Lotus Notes
The Quick View Plus setup program will detect the presence of a local
NOTES.INI file and will automatically select the View Any Lotus Notes
Attachments With Quick View Plus check box in the main Installation
menu (Workstation Install menu for network installations of Quick View
Plus). During installation, Quick View Plus's integration with Lotus
Notes is accomplished by copying the files QVPVIEW.BMP and QVPVIEW.MAC
into the Windows Icon Path specified in the user's local NOTES.INI
file. To make the SmartIcon available within Notes after installation:
- Run Notes
- Choose SMARTICONS from the Tools menu
- Select the desired toolbar to display from the drop-down list box.
- In the Available Icons group on the left, scroll to the very bottom
of the list. The QVPVIEW SmartIcon appears
- Click on the SmartIcon with the mouse and drag it over to the list of
icons (on the right) included in the selected toolbar. Drop the icon
where you want it to appear on the toolbar.
- Choose OK to close the SmartIcon Setup dialog.
When you return to the main menu, the QVPVIEW SmartIcon will appear
where placed on the Toolbar. To use the macro:
- Open a Notes document containing attachments embedded in an RTF field,
such as a mail message.
- With the mouse, single-click on the QVPVIEW SmartIcon. The user does
not need to select or double click on the attachment itself to view
it.
- If the document contains one attachment, Quick View Plus's view
window will come up with the attachment displayed.
- If the document contains more than one attachment, a dialog listing
all attachments appears. Select with the mouse one or more
attachments to view and choose OK.
- A view window appears for each attachment selected.
NOTE: The macro can process a maximum of 20 attachments in a single
document.
TeamWARE/TeamOFFICE
Quick View Plus integrates with the following TeamWARE modules:
- Mail
- Calendar
- Forum
- Library
The integration is accomplished by mapping the .DAT extension to
SCCVAPI.EXE in the [Extensions] section of WIN.INI. By default,
double-clicking on an attachment's icon in a TeamWARE module will
cause it to be launched if the application that created it is
registered in the user's local REGEDIT database. Thus, attachments
created by most common Windows apps will be launched, not viewed, by
double-clicking. If the attachment was created by a non-registered
application, double-clicking will invoke the Select Tool list.
From this list, choose SCCVAPI. The attachment will be viewed in Quick
View Plus. To view an attachment even when its application is
registered, instead of double-clicking with the mouse on its icon,
choose SELECT TOOL from the main menu bar. You will be presented with
a list of applications TeamWARE can launch. Choose SCCVAPI, and Quick
View Plus's viewers will be invoked and will view the attachment.
g) Internet Browser integrations
During installation, Quick View Plus will integrate with the following
Internet browsers if detected on your system:
- America OnLine 2.5 Web Browser (VIEWERS.INI)
- SPRY Mosaic (AIRMOS.INI)
- Netscape Navigator 1.x (NETSCAPE.INI)
All of these integrations occur and operate identically. Quick View Plus
integrates with browsers by specifying its viewers in the browsers' .INI
files or registry. Once integrated, the browser will invoke Quick View
Plus when the user attempts to view a file that the browser's default
viewers cannot view. During this process, the browser will download the
file in question to the user's machine and invoke Quick View Plus.
Netscape Navigator 2.0
Quick View Plus will integrate completely with version 2.0 of Netscape
Navigator. All 200+ file formats that are supported with Quick View
Plus are also supported in the Navigator 2.0 window. Any file
attachments received through Netscape's email client can also be
viewed as if in any another email application. This added functionality
allows the viewing of files on the World Wide Web without launching
extraneous applications.
h) Word Processor integrations
When you integrate Quick View Plus with a Windows word processor, you add
a macro to the word processor's menu. The macro automatically loads Quick
View Plus. When you access Quick View Plus via the macro, you can import
data to your word processor in two easy steps. Simply select the data you
want, and then choose PASTE TO [WORD PROCESSOR NAME] from the Edit menu,
or click on the PASTE TO APPLICATION button. If no data or text is
selected, Paste to will be grayed out. Quick View Plus allows you to
integrate with three popular Windows word processors. Each one is
explained below.
Ami Pro
When you integrate Quick View Plus with Ami Pro, the macro appears in
the Tools menu.
Microsoft Word for Windows
When you integrate Quick View Plus with Word for Windows, the macro
appears in the Utilities menu (for Windows 1.x), or the Tools menu
(for Word for Windows 2.x).
WordPerfect for Windows
When you integrate Quick View Plus with WordPerfect for Windows, the
integration varies according to the WordPerfect version you use. If
you integrate with WordPerfect version 5.x then Quick View Plus
registers as a macro appearing in the Macro menu. If you integrate with
WordPerfect version 6.0 then Quick View Plus registers as a writing
tool appearing in the Tools menu.
NOTE: The WordPerfect for Windows integration also makes QVP available
in the QuickList and QuickFind facilities.
3) Format specific information
a) Autocad DXF
