- Recent history
-
- View Version 8.6
- ================
-
- ADDED: Support for Ami Pro. Note that because I do not use this word
- processor myself, I may not have caught all the formatting
- possibilities. If you have a file that doesn't display properly
- please send it to me and I will try to correct the problem.
-
- Support for code page 850 (European). VIEW now looks for which
- code page is active - 437 (North America) or 850. It chooses the
- appropriate one for displaying high-order characters. If the active
- code page is neither 437 nor 850, it defaults to 437.
-
- Support for viewing large files. If you try to read a file that is
- too big for VIEW, the program now spills the overflow into a
- temporary file. You can easily switch between the first part of
- the file you want to view and its overflow, without exiting to
- the file selection menu.
-
- REMOVED: "split large file" function. Removed because you can get a more
- logical series of places to split a file by converting it to
- ASCII from VIEW's file selection menu and then splitting it
- manually from a text editor.
-
-
- VIEW Version 8.61
- =================
- Expanded code page 850 support for WordPerfect 6.0 and tidied up
- MS Word display.
-
- VIEW Version 8.62
- =================
- Corrected error that caused some video cards to operate only in
- 25 line mode even when they were capable of operating in other
- modes (e.g. 36 lines)
-
- VIEW Version 8.7
- ================
- Added a direct link to Tony Caine's JETCOL and 2COL printing
- utilities to allow the user of VIEW to specify command line
- options.
-
- VIEW Version 9.0 and 9.0a
- =========================
- Made substantial improvements to file selection menu, including a
- help screen. Added facility to change column wrap. Added support
- for viewing Wordstar files. Improved display options and
- identification routines for files of "unknown format". Improved
- the direct link to JETCOL/2COL, including printing large files
- directly from the file selection menu.
-
- Moved the "direct access to 2COL/JETCOL" key to F8, thereby
- disabling the "print screen" function; the equivalent is available
- by printing a marked block.
-
- VIEW Version 9.1
- =========================
- Added WinWord 6.0 functionality. Added "/mem" command line switch
- to allow user to allocate (temporarily) more memory for link to
- JETCOL and 2COL. Note: because I do not use WinWord 6, I cannot
- be sure that VIEW will catch all formatting information. If you
- have a file that does not display properly, please send it to me
- and I will try to fix the problem.
