- AVIEW is a simple archive-viewer utility for the Norton Commander, it views
- ARC, ARJ, LZH, PAK, ZIP and ZOO archives automatically, it shows lots of
- info's about the files in the archive, you can also tag files and unpack
- them, viewing of archives in archives is also possible, all automatic!
-
-
- AVIEW is made for usage under the Norton Commander, however, the Norton
- Commander is NOT needed to use AVIEW, AVIEW can also be used stand-alone.

- You can edit the AVIEW.CTL file, its a plain ascii-file, the following
- commands can be used to configure AVIEW:
-
-
- NOCOLOR
- ───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
- With this command you force AVIEW in black and white mode, this can be
- handy for laptop-users with LCD-Screens.
-
-
- VIEWER <Viewer>
- ───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
- For defining the viewer to use with the view-function, default is LIST.
-

- AVIEW will prompt for a path before extracting any files.
-
-
- TEMPPATH <Path>
- ───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
- With this command you define the path AVIEW must use as work-directory,
- this can be a ram-drive which will speed-up AVIEW dramatically, note that
- the temppath is always removed when AVIEW is finished using it, including
- ALL the directory's and ALL files it includes.
-
-
- SCANNER [<Path>\]<Filename>
- ───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
- With this command you can define the virus-scanner to use for scanning the
