Easy View is an application that helps reading text files. It was originally developed to read "Inside Macintosh", later extended to other formats. You can view all of these text formats using a single application:
+ TidBITS, or any setext
+ Info-Mac, or similar digests
+ Text with "simple" format
+ Dictionaries
+ Plain text
Easy View comes with three files, which also demonstrate its usage:
1. Easy View Introduction [This file]
2. Easy View Notes
3. Easy View - Read Me
Please open "Easy View - Read Me" (if you have not done so) to access the first two files. Then use the arrow keys or the mouse to see the other sections.
You may find the <space> key handy for continuous reading.
(This file is an example of setext format)
