I am sick of the ugly looking non-proportional text viewers. So I decided to
write my own viewer that would be font-sensitive, and blend in with all your
other nice patches, as so not to spoil the look and feel of your Workbench.
Well I was sick of non-proportional text viewers until I made horizontal
scrolling in this version. Now EvenMore doesn't support proportional fonts. But
IMHO, even though EvenMore isn't as powerful as the rest, it still looks far
nicer than the competition, and is increasing in functionality at every release.
Here are the main features of 0.48
----------------------------------
o Scroller window allows easier moving about documents.
o AppWindow, AppIcon and AppMenu makes loading files easy. Not only can you
drag files onto them, but also drawers, and a requester will appear!
o Totally font sensitive.
o Tooltypes and preference file(s) for configuring settings.
o Can open the window on any public screen and move between them.
o Can create it's own public screen to run on.
o ARexx port for remote control.
o Supports the numeric keypad and mouse movement.
o Very clean and smooth scrolling.
o String and pattern finding functions with search hilighting.
o Bookmarks for remembering positions in the document.
o Quick load listview for loading documents fast.
o Configurable GUI for quick access to features.
o File loading uses AsyncIO for speed.
o Can load multiple files.
o Help available by pressing the help key.
o Gadget help bubbles.
o User-configurable filetypes, for passing certain files to different programs.
o Uses EasyGUI, the best GUI in the history of the world.
o Uses ReqTools library.
o Can zoom text in or out.
o Option to save the file.
o Send the file to an editor.
o Conifurable information bar.
o Execute commands or open a shell on the window.
and more...
Here are the recent features
----------------------------
o Added preferences for changing the window title format.
o Fixed bug where the progress window would crash if there was only one line in
the file.
o Totally reprogrammed text printing routines.
o Added an information bar at the top of the window, and moved the information
from the title bar into it.
o Reprogrammed GUI drawing to use special E functions, and not the standard
system functions.
o Now the window title will just be the filename.
o The window title will now change for viewing the help text.
o Fixed bug were if an exception was raised in the main procedure, the window
and screen wouldn't close.
o Fixed bug were the line height wouldn't update after you changed the leading
preference.
o Fixed bug in which after you used the arexx port to move to a line, would
scroll back again when you selected the window.
o Attached the information bar onto the text area, and put a bevel box around
it (Uses same settings as text area).
o Now hilights words during searching.
o Searches will now look for more than one occurance of a string on one line.
o Fixed a stupid bug in which the palette wouldn't save the current custom
screen colours. Also, the palette will no longer be taken off other screens
and used for the custom screen when you change screens.
o Now will only scroll if necessary while searching.
o Now the whole line will get hilighted when you search for a pattern.
o Fixed bug in which the occurance search would miss an occurance of a string
if one occurance shares a letter with another, eg. ' - ' and ' - - '.
The second example will now be seen as two occurances.
o The GETWINDIM arexx command didn't seem to do what it was supposed to do.
But I removed it anyway, as it wasn't that useful.
o Now there is only 1 text offset variable, which will be used for all sides
of the window.
There are still a few things to be ironed out though. Please read the docs
before you delete as soon as you set your eyes on it.
All hints, tips, examples of code, etc., will be appreciated!

I cannot expect to be able to develop this program much further, as I am a
Christian and believe Jesus Christ will return very soon. If I do not reply to
any mail for months and months, then the development of this program has ceased.
