- PAUL'S MULTIPLE FILE VIEWER version 3.20 (c) 1992
-
- This is a very useful program. It can be used without PUP but you'll be crazy
- if you don't use PUP.
-
- V is used in one of three ways (all uses of V.COM and VIEW.VFG are
- completely case insensitive):
-
- v filename
-
- View a file with one of your favorit file viewers specified either in the
- config file or in the view program itself.
- If you don't give an extension then VIEW will search for files with
- extensions from the given ones in the config.
- If it finds one, it will execute the corresponding program
- else it will execute the default editor/viewer.
-
- v /s
-
- Save the config contained in V.COM in a file in the current directory.
- This is now the standard config file that will be used when you are viewing
- files. So any modifications to the file will have immediate effect ( so
- moving it too will lead to an error because VIEW.CFG cannot be found ).
-
- v /l
-
- Load the config file to the view program itself ( the opposite of /s ).
- The program will be a bit faster because VIEW.CFG doesn't have to be read
- from disk, but you will not be able to change the viewing programs.
-
-
- Note: When you use /s or /l when V.COM is not in your current directory
- then there will be one after execution. This is the new V.COM program
- so you better not do that to avoid confusion.???
-
- You can create or modify the VIEW.CFG file youself with any text editor.
- The format is this:
-
- 1st line: the default viewer in case the given extension is not recognized.
- next lines: 3 characters for the extension needed for the viewer,
- immediately after that ( not on a new line ) the full path and extension
- of the program and after that the arguments that the program needs with
- the name of the file you want to view the character 'ƒ' and the
- extension: 'é'.
- If you want PUP to wait for a buttonpress after execution of the viewer
- you must specify that the viewer returns an error code. This is done by
- typing an 'ê' anywhere in the arguments of that viewer.
-
- Note: There must be something after the program name,
- so this is not allowed: GIFc:\gif\cshow.exe<return>
- You must type something like this: GIFc:\gif\cshow.exe *.GIF<return>
-
- Summary:
- ƒ stands for the filename,
- é stands for the extension and
- ê stands for return an error code.
-
- For example:
- C:\utils\q.exe Ď The default editor
- ZIPc:\util\pkunzip.exe ê-v ƒé The program for viewing ZIP-files
- arjc:\util\arj.exe êl ƒé The program for viewing ARJ-files
- FLIc:\animation\quickfli.exe Ď The program for viewing FLI-files
- GL C:\ANIMATION\GRASP4.EXE Ď The program for viewing GL-files
- OBJc:\lang\asm\link.exe Ď,C:,NUL.MAP,, The program for linking OBJ-files
