Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does "LI" stand for?
A: LI was born as a DOS program, where a short name was an advantage (you
had to type it in). I didn't think to change its name when it moved to
Windows. "LI" is short for "list".
Q: Sometimes LI will ask to switch into hex mode only after I've scrolled
down into a file a ways.
A: This is typically due to the format of the file. If LI finds a line longer
than 256 characters, it will not display it in normal text mode. The
choices will be to wrap every line a 77 characters or view the file in
hex mode. Read the Technical Info in Help for more details.
Q: Do you plan to view files in their "native" format? e.g. WinWord, Write,
etc.
A: This is not high on my priority list of future enhancements. There are
just too many formats and too little of me.
Q: Do you plan to add some file management features, such as copy, move,
rename.
A: This is higher on my priority list than the "native" viewer stuff, but
may still be a ways in the future.
Q: The editor should handle bigger files.
A: The built in editor is based upon the same Windows capabilities as NOTEPAD,
and therefore suffers from the same limits. If I can dream up a method
of providing this capability without greatly increasing the size of the
LI executable file, I'll do it. (Win32 supports this, feature will be
added.)
