TextView 1.1
============
(C) Matthew C Finlayson 1993
TextView is, surprisingly enough, a text-file viewing program for the Psion
Series 3. The main reason for using TextView rather than the built-in Word
application is that it requires little memory to run in (< 10K) and will
open files of any size without serious loss in performance.
Installation and use:
---------------------
The program consists of the file TEXTVIEW.APP which should be copied into
the \APP directory on the Psion and installed as usual. (Alternatively, it
may be renamed to TEXTVIEW.IMG and run under the RunImg icon or its alias.)
The program will display \TXT\*.TXT files in its file-list.
All other instructions for the use of the program can be found in its in-built
help facility.
Distribution:
-------------
Version 1.1 of TextView may be freely distributed for personal or academic use
as long as it is unmodified and this documentation is supplied with it.
Commercial users should contact me for licensing details. Later versions may
be released as Shareware.
Future Enhancements:
--------------------
The three main enhancements I am planning for TextView are:
(i) to allow sections from a text file to be extracted and saved to a
another file.
(ii) to allow the program to display compressed files (though this will
probably be simple Huffman compression rather than one of the proprietary
systems such as PKZIP).
(iii) to add hex viewing facilities.
Any comments or suggestions for further developments should be sent to me at
the Email address below.
Revision History:
-----------------
1.0 Initial release.
1.1 Additional features added including line wrap, display options
and performance improvement.
