GL-VIEW V2.0
BY STEVE McGRATH
ALL RIGHTS RESERVED
(C) COPYRIGHT JULY 1993
A FREEWARE SOFTWARE
WHAT IS GL-VIEW ?
----------------
GL-VIEW is a simple shell for manipulating ".GL". It will read the
first 999 ".GL" in the selected path. In order to use it and to avoid
"Out Memory", I suggest that you make as much memory as possible and to
start from the command line or from WINDOWS 3.x.
FILES INCLUDED IN THIS ARCHIVE:
GV.EXE = The GL-VIEW program.
GV.DOC = GL-VIEW documentation.
GV.HIS = Revision History.
GV.PIF = PIF file for running SHEZ under Windows.
GV.ICO = Windows ICON for SHEZ.
FILE_ID.DIZ = Short description
WHATS.NEW = Whats new in this version
COMMAND LINE OPTIONS:
--------------------
GV [/?] [FILE.GL] [/M*.*] [/PPATH] [/EPATH] [/GPATH] [/F] /[I] [/X]
/? : A resume of this documention
Exemple: C:\GL-VIEW>GV /?
FILE.GL : Execute the FILE.GL
Exemple: C:\GL-VIEW>GV D:\GL\MISC\EXEMPLE.GL
You must put ".GL".
/M*.* : The mask
Exemple: C:\GL-VIEW>GV /MA*.GL
If you included a MASK in GV.CFG, it will have the prioritie.

Exemple: C:\GL-VIEW>GV /PC:\GL
If you included a Path in GV.CFG, it will have the prioritie.
/EPATH : Where the editor is
Exemple: C:\GL-VIEW>GV /EC:\GL
If you included a Editor in GV.CFG, it will have the prioritie.

COMMAND IN THE SHELL:
--------------------
ENTER : View the ".GL"
? OR / : A short resume of this documention
I : Information on the ".GL" Information File (".GLI")
Your editor or the internal viewer will show you the ".GLI"
If it doesn't have a ".GLI", a startup file will be created but
you must specify a editor in order to edit it.
M : Change the mask
Useful to select some of your ".GL"
Exemple:
Mask : M*.GL
Mask : TES*.GL
P : Change the path of your ".GL"
E : Change the path of the editor
Exemple:
Editor : C:\EDITOR\EDITOR.EXE
If you have DOS 5.0 and don't specified any editor, GL-VIEW will
get the DOS editor unless you put the /I in the command line to
force the internal viewer.
Exemple:
Editor : C:\DOS\EDIT.EXE
If you don't specify any editor the internal viewer will be
selected.
Exemple:
Editor : INTERNAL VIEWER
G : Change the path of the GRASPRT.EXE
Exemple:
Grasptr: C:\GL
T : Tag file
U : Untag file
F : File display with the number in the list, date and time added
SPACE : Tag/Untag file
After a Tag/Untag, the cursor will go to the next one.
CTRL-ENTER : View all tagged files
CTRL-T : Tag all files
CTRL-U : Untag all files
