JView is a RIP Scrip, ICN, and Windows ICO viewer. With JView you can view
these three popular formats. You can run JView by simply typing JView and
using the file selector, or you can run JView from the DOS command line by
typing "jview filename". If you do not specify an extension ".RIP" will be
added to the filename. When viewing a RIP file you can hit any key to stop
the image from being completed.
When using Jview with the file selector you can tag files with the
[space bar], or you can tag all the files with [ALT T]. Tagged files can be
viewed with [ALT V], pressing a key advances to the next file. Pressing
[ESC] at anytime returns the program back to the file selector. Tagged
files can also be viewed in a slideshow mode by pressing [ALT S].
JView can also be configured to search directories for Icons. Using the
[F2] option enter the directories your Icons are located. Use the semicolon
to separate directory paths. eg. C:\BIGICN;C:\SMALLICN
You can also set the directory for exporting Icons. This is the directory
where Icon files will be created. This is often useful since some RIP
files can create temporary Icon files which are never erased, this will help
track them down.
Some users prefer to add different extensions to their RIP files or
even no extension at all. You can set JView to list ALL the files by leaving
the File Type(s) option blank. The default setting is for RIP;ICN;ICO files,
you can add additional file extensions but remember that they will be
treated as though they are RIP spec files. To configure JView to display
only RIP files just remove the other extensions from the File Type(s) field.
The delay period for the SlideShow mode be set by changing the SlideShow
Delay in the Config menu.
For a listing of all the available options press the [F1] key.

├───────────────┘
│ No you do not get the source code to JView. We use third party
│ toolkits in all areas of JView which we cannot distribute. What
│ we can do is offer a modified RIP viewer that contains the basics
│ of the RIP protocol for developers who wish to add RIP support to
│ their programs. This by no means is intended to provide full
│ support for the RIP specifications. What the code does is provide
│ a proven parser to extract the RIP codes out of a file, number
