- VIEWFIL2.CLA
- ------------
-
- VIEWFIL2.CLA is the Clarion source code for a reasonably fast, memory-efficient
- file viewer. It was loosely derived from Steve Griener's VIEWFILE.CLA upload
- on CompuServe.
-
- VIEWFIL2 implements "reading in the background". This means that you can
- start to view/scroll a file immediately upon invoking the procedure. You
- don't have to wait until the entire file is read in.
-
- VEWFIL2 uses a dynamically allocated array to store the file line pointers.
- Typical RAM overhead when reading a file is only 4K per 1000 lines read.
- This means you can read very large files without running into Clarion memory
- limitations.
-
- Since it's all in Clarion, you can OVERLAY the code, unlike Eckenrod's
- REPORT3 LEM, which steals 15K+ of RAM.
-
- Any comments/question/suggestions are welcomed... if there is enough interest
- I'll add new features... (914)-762-2374 or CIS [70441,204].
