- TextView 2.1
- ============
-
- (C) Matthew C Finlayson 1993-94
-
-
- TextView is a text-file viewing program for the Psion Series 3a. The main
- reason for using TextView rather than the built-in Word application is that
- it requires little memory to run in and will open files of any size without
- serious loss in performance.
-
-
- Installation and use:
- ---------------------
-
- The program consists of the file TEXTVIEW.APP which should be copied into
- the \APP directory on the Psion and installed as usual. (Alternatively, it
- may be renamed to TEXTVIEW.IMG and run under the RunImg icon or its alias.)
- The program will display \TXT\*.TXT files in its file-list.
-
- All other instructions for the use of the program can be found in its in-built
- help facility.
-
-
- Distribution:
- -------------
-
- Version 2.1 of TextView may be freely distributed for personal or academic use
- as long as it is unmodified and this documentation is supplied with it.
- Commercial users should contact the address below for licensing details. Later
- versions may be released as Shareware.
-
-
- Future Enhancements:
- --------------------
-
- The three main enhancements I am planning for TextView are:
-
- (i) to allow the program to display compressed files (though this will
- probably be simple Huffman compression rather than one of the proprietary
- systems such as PKZIP).
- (ii) to add hex viewing facilities.
-
- Any comments or suggestions for further developments should be sent to me at
- the Email address below.

- 1.1 Additional features added including line wrap, display options
- and performance improvement.
