-
- Another File Viewer? What for? Well, it seems that all the other
- file viewers have been written in C. This is okay, but the
- programs are 10-20k. This file viewer is written in assembler
- and contains most of the features of the others, but the program
- size is less than 4k! QView stands for Quick View.
-
- This is being distributed as ShareWare. If you think that QView
- is useful, please send $10. Your response will insure the
- release of more quality programs for your Amiga. Be sure to
- check out the latest shareware version of QMouse.
-
- The latest version of QView can always be found on the Wind
- Dragon Inn BBS, (402)-291-8053 or Larry's Hot Tub BBS,

- QVIEW FEATURES

- independant.
- o Hex display mode. Note: search isn't implemented in hex display mode.
- o Works from Workbench.

- QView can be executed from the CLI or from WorkBench.
