- Hello world!
-
- This simple program is written in Borland's Delphi for Windows version 1.0.
- It really does not do much, but it is useful if you are a developer and
- just need to quickly look at a file, even a large file (up to 32,767 lines or
- about 500 pages at 66 lines per page).
-
- What you need to do to install it:
- 1. After unzipping this (you have to in order to read this file)
- you should have four files:
-
- README.TXT
- SFW.EXE
- SFW.HLP
- SFWSRC.ZIP
-
- 2. If you only want to run SFW, then your done, you can delete the
- SFWSRC.ZIP file if you want.
-
- 3. See the SFW.HLP file for interfaces, credits and the like.
- Some ideas: Install it into program manager somewhere or on
- your favorite App Launch utility.
- It has drag and drop features from File Manager.
- It has command line parameters to open files
- when started.
-
- ===============================================================================
-
- If you want the source code, to see what I did, you will need to unzip the
- SFWSRC.ZIP file which will create many files in your current directory, so
- you might want to put it into a seperate place before unzipping.
-
- When done unzipping the file, you will have three files with the name BIGTEXT.*
- which you need to install into your component pallette in Delphi. Copy them
- to your component directory for Delphi (this is up to you), then in Delphi:
-
- 1. Select Options: Install Components in the Delphi IDE.
- 2. Click the Add button.
- 3. Click the Browse button.
- 4. Locate and select the BIGTEXT.PAS file
- 5. Click the Ok buttons to close all the dialogs.
-
- The Delphi component library DLL will be recompiled with the new BIGTEXT
- component added to the FREEWARE page of the component palette.
-
- Note that TBIGTEXT is FREEWARE ALSO. You will need it if you want
- to rebuild the SFW.EXE file.
-
- Note: This is only my first/second program in Delphi, so I would like your
- opions and I am open to make changes, if you do make changes please send
- them to me at erichev@ix.netcom.com oh, you should report bugs here also.
-
- This Software is USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!
