By Data X
XMore is the new text viewer by Data X and boasts a lot more features than
other viewers. Some features are:-
* 80 characters width because of the borderless window.
* Small size...20k uncrunched, 11k crunched, and needs no libraries.
* Scroll bar for easy positioning anywhere in the text.
* Help page - gives information about file, memory, and keyboard commands.
* Occurrence counter - it will count the number of occurrences of a string.
* Search facility - it will search for case sensitive/insensitive either
forward/backward for any string, it will go to that
line and hi-light the found string.
* Print facility - you can print the file, the current page, or a specified
number of lines from the page.
* File requester - you can load files from an easy to use requester.
* Information bar - the window title bar shows the name of the file, the
number of lines, the current line number, and the
position of the current page in percent.
* Workbench/CLI compatible.
XMore is freeware which means that you can copy it to anyone. You can use
it on your own disks whether commercial/pd without the need for this doc
(but if you have space on the disk, please put this doc on).
I would like to thank Adrenalin for the time he spent finding bugs in XMore!
I won't spent ages telling you about everything because most of the
instructions are obvious, but here are a few things that arent so obvious.
Slider bar - Click to the right of the filled area for page down and to the
left for page up.
Requesters - Pressing return after entering a string/number will activate
the left button on the requester.
File requester - The "<" button next to the drawer name is the parent
gadget, used to go back one stage in the directory path.
File requester - Double clicking on a file will select "Load".
Press the "Help" key to get the help page. I know this is fairly obvious but
it doesnt say anywhere else what to press unless you are actually on the
help page.
Press 'F' to make the window full size, ie top corner at (0,0) and
dimensions 640x256. This is for people like me who are still using WB1.3.
Pressing the right mouse button in the top half of the screen will scroll the
text up and pressing it in the bottom half of the screen will scroll down.
If there are any questions about any Data X programs please write to me
and I will answer them. I would like to here any ideas or comments from
you. Other Data X productions are available free if you send me the correct
number of disks and return postage.
