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 0.58
----------------------------------
o Scroller window allows easier moving about documents.
o AppWindow, AppIcon and AppMenu makes opening 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, mouse and wheel mouse movement.
o Very clean and smooth scrolling.
o String and pattern finding functions with search hilighting, including file
and directory search.
o Bookmarks for remembering positions in the document.
o Quick load listview for opening documents fast.
o Configurable GUI for quick access to features.
o File loading uses AsyncIO for speed.
o Can open multiple files. Up to 1000 files can be stored in memory.
o Help available by pressing the help key.
o Gadget help bubbles.
o User-configurable filetypes, for passing certain files to different programs.
o Automatic conversion of AmigaGuide files to plain text.
o Supports ANSI Escape code sequences!
o Uses EasyGUI, the best GUI in the history of the world.
o Can use Asl or ReqTools library for filerequesters.
o Option to save the file.
o Send the file to an editor.
o Print the file.
o Conifurable information bar.
o Execute commands or open a shell on the window.
o XPK compression supported.
o File history menu.
o Locale support.
o Clipboard support.
o Supports plugin modules!
and more...
Here are the recent features
----------------------------
o Added borderless window option to Window page in GUI.
o Added a snazzy 3d title to the window when it is borderless.
Also added a 3d sizing bit to the corner where the size gadget
is. Looks neat.
o Now supports NewIcons directly!
o Uses titlebar.image class for the iconify gadget, so now the iconify gadget
will be standardized to look like all your other system gadgets! Thanks to
Massimo Tantignone for the code.
o Converted my Amiga Guide 2 Text PROC into a plugin, which is loaded
externally. Hopefully I will be able to have a preference page for plugins,
and people will be able to write their own plugins for EvenMore!
o Removed clunky icon gadget preferences. Just have a string gadget for the
directory for icons to use now. You will need to reconfigure your settings.
o Added a new plugins page in the info window, which will display information
about all plugins loaded.
o Possibly fixed a long standing bug in the quickload requester. Was cleaning
the GUI with an invalid pointer.
o Was doing something silly. Running the plugins after I had set the amount
of lines in the text, so if your plugin created a file with extra lines,
it could crash.
o Wrote a word wrapping plugin. With this installed, all text will
automatically be wrapped at 80 characters. This helps loads with Amiga guide
converted texts, which can be quite long! Still need to think about whether
to check for ANSI code text/TAB text in wrapping?
o Windows now centre on main EvenMore 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.
