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.
