- QView 1.1 Copyright 1989 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! 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! 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.

- QVIEW FEATURES
-
- o Fast screen updates. Even faster with FastFonts or
- BlitzFonts.
-
- o Keyboard control of all features. Many file viewers only
- allow movement with mouse control. QView is designed to be
- used by touch typists.
-
- o Search for an ASCII character string. Note: search is case
- independant.
-
- o Hex display mode. Note: search isn't implemented in hex
- display mode.
-
- o Works from WorkBench.
-
-
-
-
- HOW TO USE
-
-
- QView can be executed from the CLI or from WorkBench.
-
- CLI Usage: QView file
-
- If the file name contains spaces, it must be surrounded
- by quotes (e.g. QView "test file"). Otherwise, quotes
- are optional.
