- Product: FileBUDDY
-
- Description:
- A simple but unique file viewer that lets you view and
- manipulate ASCII, DBF, ARC, ARJ, LZH, PAK, ZIP, BIF, BMP, GIF,
- JPEG, PCX, TARGA, and TIF files. dBASE support includes
- database management and a report writer. Archive support
- includes archiving, extracting, and deleting files. Image
- support includes processing, cropping, saving across formats,
- "slide-show" viewing, and printing to a HP LaserJet/DeskJet,
- Epson 24-pin dot-matrix, or compatible printer.
-
- * FileBUDDY can view any size file, whether the file is 1 byte or 1
- gigabyte in length.
-
- * FileBUDDY lets you capture text to a file by taking a "snapshot" of
- it. When a snapshot is taken, it is done "intelligently". That
- is, overlapping text in consecutive snapshots will not be
- duplicated in the destination file.
-
- * FileBUDDY incorporates a printer setup facility which allows you
- configure any printer when printing text files.
-
- * FileBUDDY views dBASE files. It can also edit, add, delete,
- undelete records, create and "pack" dBASE files, and generate
- "quick & dirty" reports.
-
- * FileBUDDY views archive files. If the proper archiver is
- available, ARC, ARJ, LZH, PAK, ZIP, and associated self-extracting
- files can be viewed down to 5 levels deep. Support for archiving
- files and extracting/deleting archived files is also provided.
-
- * FileBUDDY displays image files. If a VGA or a SVGA (with an ATI,
- Paradise, Trident, Tseng, Video 7, or "VESA" chipset) video card is
- detected, BIF (binary), BMP, GIF, JPEG, PCX, TARGA, and TIF image
- files can be viewed. Video cards with 32k, 64k, or 16m modes are
- supported when displaying 24-bit images. If extended or expanded
- memory is available, it will be used to hold the image. Images too
- large to fit the best video mode can be "navigated" using the
- cursor keys or resized to fit the best video mode. Other image
- handling capabilities include processing, cropping, saving across
- image formats (including to EPS), and "slide-show" viewing. Images
- may be printed to HP LaserJet, HP DeskJet 500c, Epson 24-pin dot-
- matrix, or compatible printers with or without a user-defined
- border. (Printing to file is also supported.) Printing resolution
- up to 1200 DPI is supported for printers that support it.
