- ShezView 1.0
-
-
- ShezView is written to work together with the famous compression shell
- 'SHEZ' written by Jim Derr, but you also may want to use it with
- other software.
-
- ShezView is a programm shell which is able to select the correct viewer
- program depending on the extension of the passing filename.
-
- A file 'SHEZVIEW.EXT' defines the corresponding viewer program to the
- file extension similar to NC.EXT of the Norton Commander.
-
- Example for this File:
-
- gif: vpic.exe !
- pcx: vpic.exe !
- dbf: dbview.exe !
- wk?: 123view.exe !
- *: wpview.exe !
- : wpview.exe !
-
- Beginning at the leftmost column the extensions are listet. DOS wildcards
- * and ? are supported. The colon ':' at the end of each extension is required.
- After one or more blanks or TABs the decided call of the viewer is defined.
- If this program should not be found via the DOS path, write here the full
- pathname including the extensions exe or com e.g. c:\util\nc\wpview.exe.
-
- The exclamation mark will be expanded to the filename to view, the full
- pathname of this file will replace this sign during execution. The '!'
- needs not to be the last item on the line, additional parameters or options
- may be passed to the viewer program.
-
- The extensions are checked in the order as written and the viewer is
- executed at the first valid extension, that means in the above example
- that each not defined extension will execute the WPVIEW program (from
- norton commander) and NO extension can be directed to another program
- in the last line. If no valid extension is found, nothing will happen.
-
- The program is looking for an 'EXT' file with the same name of the
- program itself in the same directory. This enables one more application
- within SHEZ:
-
- Copy the program ShezView a second time to e.g. 'EDIT.EXE' and create
- a file 'EDIT.EXT' with the following contents:
-
- doc: c:\word\word.com !
- fax: c:\edit\q.exe !
- asc: c:\edit\q.exe !
- a*: c:\ne\ne.com +1 !
- mcd: c:\mathcad\mcad.exe !
- pr?: c:\dos\print ! /D:lpt1
-
- Now you can use the command 'EDIT' extension sensitive to call the
- correct editor. Also installing this EDIT command as editor within
- SHEZ is possible.
-
- In the example, WORD is called for all .doc, for .fax and .asc the q-
- editor is called. All .asm .a86 and similar extension will call Norton
- editor with immediately displaying line 1. .mcd will call Mathcad and
- even printing is possible with the extensions .prn or .prt.
-
- For this program nothing is guaranted - but therefor it is freeware!
- There are a lot of copyrights for the programs named above. I am to lazy
- to list all of them.
-
- I would be grateful for bug reports or comments to this program.
