- │ TinyViewer (TV) 2.0 Manual │
- │ │
- │ (Supplied with 4FILES v-3.30) │
- ╘═══════════════════════════════════════════════╛
-
- Tiny Viewer is a public domain file browser. This copy is a modification
- by Larry Edwards of v-1.0, and was supplied as 4F-TV.COM with a shareware
- copy of the 4FILES file manager. The v-1.0 copy was obtained from a
- shareware distribution of DOSREF by Dave Williams.
-
- I have found TV to be useful with 4FILES because the text display uses all
- rows of the screen, and it shows text in whatever text colors are setup
- in 4FILES. Buerg's LIST or the 4DOS internal LIST command may be more to
- your liking however, since they have a text "find" feature, can display in
- ASCII or hex, and show the current line number. TV lacks these features.
- Neither Buerg's LIST nor the 4DOS LIST will display with a dark grey back-
- ground, however, which is what I like. Switching your 4FILES configuration
- between using LIST and TV.COM takes only moments, and the change can be made
- "session-only."
-
- ===============================================================================
-
- TV is tiny (1008 bytes), it can view ANY size text file, it displays lines up
- to 1024 characters wide, and it uses all rows of your display for text.
- Version 2.0 is a modification that allows any number of rows to be displayed,
- and which scrolls faster and smoother.

- ┌───────────────┐
- │ HOW TO USE TV │
- └───────────────┘
-
- SYNTAX: 4F-TV d:\subdir\filename.ext
-
- Capability: -- Text files of any size.
- -- Can handle lines in excess of 2000 characters long.
-
-
- When TV loads your file, it will be displayed FULL-screen, WITHOUT any kind
- of status line to clutter up your screen. The keys TV recognizes are:
-
- Home / End Go to the top/bottom of the file
-
- PgUp / PgDn Scroll one page
-
- / Scroll one line
-
- <- / -> Move screen left or right "One screen width, less 10 columns"
-
- ESC Quit
-
-
- The screen can be scrolled a considerable distance to the right of the end
- of text on a line. If using a mouse (mouse support is NOT built in, but
- the mouse may be active if TV is called from another program), a fine
- touch is required.
-

- │ FINAL NOTE │
- └────────────┘
-
- One final note: TV is to be considered a Public Domain program. What
- does that mean? It means that you can freely give it to anyone who wants a
- copy. The only stipulation is this: you must include the file 4F-TV.TXT with
- evey copy of 4F-TV.COM.
