- MYRDR Ver 1.00.04 - A simple text reader for the 3A
- ===================================================
-
- Changes
- -------
-
- This version fixes a couple of bugs to do with files of certain
- lengths when looking at the end of the file, and a "feature" in
- the help system.
-
- The cursor right and left keys now scroll the window left/right.
-
-
- Introduction
- ------------
-
- I wrote MYRDR after trying to use various other similar utilities and
- realising that I needed facilities that didn't seem to be available.
-
- I am sure that MYRDR will not match all other users expectations but
- it does what I want, and that's good enough for me :-)
-
-
- Features
- --------
-
- * Handles files of (almost) any length.
-
- * Saves the current file position when you open another file or
- when you exit the application.
-
- * Builds an internal table of file pointers allowing you to jump
- to specific lines, quickly.
-
- * Provides "search" and "search again" facilities.
-
- * PGUP/PGDN work as expected and "Space" and "Enter" have the
- same effect as PGDN.
-
- * Configurable TAB size (Default is 4 spaces).
-
- * You can disable the saving of the file status and line number
- tables (By default they are enabled).
-
- * You can select "Roman" or "Swiss" fonts as well as
- "Proportional" and "Mono-spaced" (Default is Mono-spaced
- Roman).
-
- * Zoom/UnZoom support '+' and '-' keys as well as the more normal
- "Psion-z" and "Psion-Z".
-
- * You can "purge" the all of the status files.
-
-
- Installation
- ------------
-
- Just copy MYRDR.APP to any /APP directory and install it with
- Psion-i.
-
-
- Futures
- -------
-
- These are in order of "most likely" to be added, but if there is
- enough interest I may re-order or add to the list.
-
- * Add horizontal scrolling.
-
- * Wrap long lines.
-
- * Automatic re-formatting of paragraphs and justification.
-
- * User font files (rather than the inbuilt system fonts).
-
- * Support for machines other than the 3A.
-
-
- Notes
- -----
-
- The first time you run the utility it will create a directory on "M:"
- called "MYRDRIDX" in which the file status/configuration files will
- be created.
-
- When you open a file for the first time MYRDR scans the file and
- builds a list of significant points in the file.
-
- When you close the file this list, together with the users current
- preferences for viewing this file, is saved to M:\MYRDRIDX as a file
- of the same name but with .IDX as the extension.
-
- An option is in the "special/configuration" menu list to purge these
- files.
-
- Further options allow you to specify what (if any) information is
- saved.
-
-
- Legal Matters
- -------------
-
- Please feel free to use this utility for personal purposes and
- distribute it as you see fit, as long as you include this file with
- it.
-
- If you intend to use it commercially please have the good manners to
- at least ask !
-
- While I am happy to accept constructive criticism, requests for
- further enhancements, and bug reports I accept NO responsibility for
- problems that this utility may cause.
-
- I have tested this utility as far as I can but in the end it is YOUR
- responsibility to back up your system and pick up the pieces if
- anything goes wrong !
