What's New In
HyperView
Version 2.2
This file begins with the most recent changes to HyperView and works
back. New features are summarized here and documented in the User
Reference Manual (HV.DOC).
2.2
Added support for Clearlook - The Cellular Word Processor.
Add the '=' key (in addition to '+') for follow-up searches in the
forward direction.
Fixed the display of zeros in hex view.
Fixed bug reading the contents of certain large ZIP archives.
A fast saved WinWord 6 document is now treated as an unrecognized word
processing format.
2.1:
Added hex viewer. Press 'H' to switch to hex view; press 'H', Esc, or
Enter to return to text view. While in hex view you may initiate
searches and jump to any file offset.
To load a file raw (i.e. to defeat auto-recognition of word processing
and zip files), press F12 from the file or zip directory view, or
use the '/R' startup option. The '/R' startup option now applies
only to the first file. Use F12 to load subsequent files raw.
Directory listings (both file and zip listings) may be sorted. Press
F6 from the directory view.
Added ability to read from standard input, e.g. DIR | HV.
Added word wrap toggle. The state of word wrap is maintained
separately for ASCII and word processing files. Thus you may have
word wrap enabled for one and disabled for the other.
To accommodate wide screen displays, HyperView now defaults to a right
margin equal to the screen width for ASCII files, and screen width
minus 5 for word processing files. Separate right margin settings
are maintained for ASCII and word processing files.
2.0:
Added support for viewing ZIP files. HyperView works in tandem with
Info-ZIP's UNZIP.EXE to view compressed files directly, without
making a copy on your hard drive. Compressed files with long file
names and names with spaces may be viewed even on non-HPFS drives.
Encrypted archives are also supported (you supply the password).
Changed operation of the Escape key. Instead of Escape, F3 is used to
exit the program with confirmation. Escape now backs up from full
screen view to directory.
Added support for viewing special characters in DeScribe files.
HyperView can now be registered by credit card through BMT Micro. See
BMT.FRM for details.
1.04a:
Fixes a subtle bug that occurred when performing (a) a search and tag
operation, (b) for a phrase, (c) in the forward direction, and
(d) an occurrence of the phrase in the text spanned more than one
line.
1.04:
Searches are even faster than before. The increased speed will be
most noticeable on larger files and slower machines.
Gather operations (similar to blocking text in a word processor) may
be initiated by holding down the shift key and pressing one of the
cursor keys (Up, Down, PgUp, PgDn, Home or End).
Gathered text and tagged lines may be copied (overwriting the previous
contents) or appended (added to the end of the previous contents) to
the OS/2 clipboard or to a file. Follow the on-screen instructions.
Pressing the backslash key (\) takes you directly to the directory of
the current file, positioning the cursor bar on the current file.
Added scroll bar to full screen view. When the right margin setting
is less then the number of columns in the current video mode, a
conventional scroll bar is used. When the right margin setting is
greater than or equal to the number of columns in the current video
mode, HyperView uses a virtual scroll bar.
Ctrl-Right and Ctrl-Left scroll the screen right or left 5 columns.
When the screen has been scrolled right, the home key returns the
screen to the far left.
Exit HyperView from directory listing by pressing Alt-F4 or Alt-X.
Warning added when attempting a clipboard operation that exceeds 64K
of text. (This is not a limitation of HyperView. The OS/2 text
clipboard is limited to 64K of text.)
Fixed disappearing cursor when HyperView is called from shell program.
1.03:
Added interface with OS/2 clipboard. Gathered text and tagged lines
may now be copied to the clipboard. To enable the clipboard
feature, the file HVAUX.EXE must be installed in the same directory
as HV.EXE.
Available commands no longer depend on the active view. For example,
searches may now be initiated while in condensed or split screen
view.
Easier to navigate directories. Backspace moves to parent directory.
In addition, after changing to the parent directory, the cursor will
point to the former parent rather than moving to the top.
Revised default color scheme. (Configurable colors are coming in a
forthcoming release.)
Revised help screen in anticipation of adding pull-down menus to a
forthcoming release.
Accelerated process of listing tagged lines to file.
HyperView can now be run when OS/2 is booted from a floppy disk.
Added table recognition to Ami Pro conversion.
Nomenclature change: what used to be referred to as "marked lines" are
now called "tagged lines". Same principle, new name.
Fixed bug when display is set for 132 columns
1.02:
Added file size, date and time to directory listing.
Added capability to view a file in a new HyperView session. Highlight
the file you wish to view in the directory listing, then press
Ctrl-Enter (or F9) to start (spawn) a new session.
Added name of file being viewed to window task list.
Added new command line option to set the number of lines of text on
screen. The option takes the form "/Lnn", where nn is a number
between 25 and 60.
Added new command line option to specify directory and/or file mask
for opening directory listing. Instead of typing a file name on the
command line, type a path.
Isolated carriage return character (ASCII 13) now treated as valid end
of line character.
Revised prompt strategy for Gather and List dialogs.
Corrected potential bug when reading directory from LAN drive.
1.01:
Added Files view. The Files view permits you to pick a file from a
directory listing. The directory listing may also be used to
navigate through the file system. The Files directory listing is
automatically invoked if a file is not specified at startup. See
README.DOC and HV.DOC for additional details.
Added option to clear screen on exit from HyperView. Press Alt-X.
1.00:
Initial release.
