                               Introduction

This   little   program  should  be  named  MultiView  and  placed  in  the
SYS:Utilities  directory.   I  wrote it because when I used OS 2.1 and when
unpack archives from Aminet or the like, I had this situation:  doubleclick
on an icon and a requester pops up :

 Unable to open your tool 'MultiView'

Here  is  where  this  program  comes  in.  It is called instead of the 3.x
MultiView  and for all the file types there can be a configured viewer that
you like best.

How to use it?

Very  simple.   Just  put  it  in SYS:Utilities and forgot old MultiView by
Commodore.

Features :

 - Works under OS 2.0 !!!
 - Locale support
 - Under OS 3.0 can use datatypes
 - Recognized 633 filetypes via FileID.library
 - Configurable via tooltypes
 - Gives you info about file (which type is it)
 - Nearly complete replace for MultiView by Commodore
 - xfdmaster support in registered version


News in this version :

 - From now MultiView is ShareWare !!!
 - If FileID.library not found using DEFAULT
 - If amigaguide.library not found using DEFAULT
 - If DEFAULT not found using C:More
 - xfdmaster support for packed files (only in registered version)


Some problems :

 - viewers must be in your path or given with complete path, when used
   (DOS.library`s Execute function related)
 - no external prefs program
   (maybe in future 8->> )
 - can handle only commands up to 512 characters
   (max. CLI command length is 512)
