- ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 1. About NGVPM ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
-
- NGVPM for OS/2 is a native OS/2 2.0 PM application that makes it possible to
- view Norton Guides on your Desktop without having to start a windowed or full
- screen VDM. NGVPM uses the standard PM interface to view Norton Guides. The
- Norton Guide Viewer was originally written for Windows, but the author got
- wiser and moved to OS/2.
-
- The Norton Guide Viewer for OS/2 beta version 0.25
-
- Copyright 1993 by Steven van Loef
-
- This is a beta version of what is to come. It allows you to view entire guides.
- The final version will support all the features that are included in Norton
- Guides:
-
- Γûá Short and long entries
- Γûá See-also list*
- Γûá Bold text**
- Γûá Underlined text (even on a color screen!)*
- Γûá Reverse text**

-

-
- Γûá Searching for text in both short and long entries*
- Γûá Printing a topic or some lines from a topic*
- Γûá Copy selected text to the Clipboard*
- Γûá Mouse support
-
- Features with a * behind them have not yet been implemented. See Future plans
-
- Features with a ** behind them have bugs, the color is ok but the fonts are
- not. Have to figure out why this is (if you have any idea please send me
- net-mail). See Contacting the Author for more information.
-

- ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2. Distribution notes ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
-
- You may freely use and distribute this beta version of NGVPM provided nothing
- is changed and this INF file is included. The final release will not be free
- and should be registered. Users of the Windows version will be able to upgrade
- for a smal l fee.
-
- A note for sysops: I would appreciate it if the archive name and description
- will look something like:
-
- NGVPM10B.xxx - The Norton Guide Viewer for OS/2 (beta version 0.25)
-
- where xxx stands for ZIP, ARJ, LZH or some other archiving method. The original
- file was a ZIP file containing NGVPM.EXE and NGVPM.INF and extended attributes
- for the EXE file, so it's best to leave this unchanged. You should use an OS/2
- version of UNZIP to extract the extended attributes.
-
-
- ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 3. Future plans for NGVPM ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

-
- Γûá A toolbar
- Γûá A statusbar which will describe the menu items and show the name of the
- Norton Guide
- Γûá Search option
