- BROWSE.EXE -- Display ASCII Files -- A Public Domain Utility
-
- BROWSE is programmmed in assembly language for MS-DOS computers.
- Much of the code for BROWSE was adapted from the sample program named
- SHOW.ASM included with Microsoft Macro Assembler (MASM). The MASM
- documentation declares that the sample programs are in the public domain.
-
- BROWSE is available on the MASDIR disk under the name SDL_SHOW.EXE. If
- you want to use it, copy it to your utility directory under the name
- BROWSE.EXE (or whatever name you prefer). To display an ASCII file at the
- DOS prompt, just enter BROWSE with and optional file specification, e.g.
-
- BROWSE browse.doc
-
- You may use the cursor keys to page through the file, and when finished
- just press Esc to exit. A much more useful browsing utility is Vern
- Buerg's LIST which is available as a Shareware program. If BROWSE does
- not satisfy your requirements you should get and register a copy of LIST.
- LIST is available on electronic bulletin board systems (BBS's) and from
- other sources of publicly available software such as GENIE, CompuServe,
- The Public (software) Library, and PC-SIG.
