- QView 1.0 by Lyman Epp
-
- Another "File Viewer???" What for? It seems that all the other
- file viewers have been written in "C". This is okay, but the
- programs are 10-20K. This file viewer is written in assembler
- and contains most of the features of the others, but the program
- size is less than 3K bytes! Also, the source is included so that
- you can add more features (please send me a copy if you do.)
- QView stands for "Quick View."
-
- This is being distributed as ShareWare. If you think that QView
- is useful, please send $10. Your response will insure the release
- of more quality programs for your Amiga! Programs already in the
- works include: a disk based print spooler, a window dump that
- converts the window bitmap back to text, and more. Be sure to
- check out the latest shareware version of QMouse.
-
- The latest version of QView can always be found on the Wind Dragon
- Inn BBS, (402)-291-8053.

- FEATURES:
-
- - Fast screen updates.
-
- - Keyboard control of all features. Many file viewers only allow
- movement with mouse control. QView is designed to be used by
- touch typists.
-
- - Find a string of ASCII characters.
-
-
-
- EXECUTE FROM A CLI, example:
-
- 1> QView file
-
- If the file name contains spaces, it must be surrounded by quotes
- (e.g. QView "test file"). Otherwise, quotes are optional.
-
-
- CONTROL CHARACTERS:
-
- ESC Exit from QView. The close gadget does this as well.
-
- Up Scroll up one line.
-
- Ctrl-Up Move to the top of the file.
-
- Alt-Up Move to the top of the file.
-
- Shift-Up Page up one screen.
-
- Down Scroll down one line.
-
- Ctrl-Down Move to the bottom of the file.
-
- Alt-Down Move to the bottom of the file.
-
- Shift-Down Page down one screen.
-
- Right Scroll right 20 characters. Current offset will be
- displayed in the title bar.
-
- Left Scroll left 20 characters. Current offset will be
- displayed in the title bar.
-
- Ctrl-Left Move back to the left margin. This is instead of
- repeatedly pressing the Left key.
-
- Alt-Left Move back to the left margin. This is instead of
- repeatedly pressing the Left key.
-
- S Search for an ASCII string of characters. QView will
- prompt for a string at the bottom of its window. To
- cancel the search, just erase the string gadget with
- Right_Amiga-X. All other string gadget sequences will
- also work. QView will display the line containing the
- string at the top of the display.
-
- A Continue searching for an ASCII string of characters.
- Must use "S" first to initialize the search string.
-
-
- SOURCE:
-
- Source may be assembled with the Metacomco assembler or with the
- Manx assembler. The Manx assembler creates about 5-10% smaller code!
- See the included makefile for assembling with Manx. This probably
- won't assemble with versions of Manx before 3.6a.
