- Comments about BROWSE
-
- The Video I/O (VIO) system can be used in OS/2 to simplify presentation of
- data on the screen. Presentation Manger supports windowed text output with
- its Advanced Video I/O (AVIO) system.
-
- In the VBROWSE subdirectory, there is a simple file browser which
- demonstrates the use of VIO calls. This program works in fullscreen
- and VIO Windowed OS/2 sessions.
-
- The BROWSE.EXE in the AVBROWSE subdirectory is an extension of the VIO
- Browser, which demonstrates the use of AVIO in Presentation Manager, and
- techniques for converting a VIO application to an AVIO application. In
- addition acting like the VIO sample, this sample also has features for
- font shrinking and enlarging fonts, and allows selection of files using the
- OPENDLG File Open protocol.
-
- With both programs you select the file you want to browse with the first
- argument on the command line. E.g., "browse browse.c" will allow you
- to examine the source code. You can also browse from stdin, which is most
- useful for piping to the browser. E.g., "cl prog1.c | browse" will allow you
- to browse through error messages.
-
- Also note that there are severe memory restrictions on the file being
- browsed: the limit is min( 64K of text , 4096 lines of text). The number
- of lines is limited by the constant NUM_DATA_LINES found in browse.h.
- The size of the text area is limited to 64K by virtue of the c malloc()
- function.
