Version: 3.0

Requires: FileID.library (included)
Asl.library
locale.library
amigaguide.library
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yet Another BlaBla Product !!!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Introduction
This little program should be named MultiView and placed in the
SYS:Utilities directory. I wrote it because when I used OS 2.1 and when
unpack archives from Aminet or the like, I had this situation: doubleclick
on an icon and a requester pops up :
Unable to open your tool 'MultiView'
Here is where this program comes in. It is called instead of the 3.x
MultiView and for all the file types there can be a configured viewer that
you like best.
How to use it?
Very simple. Just put it in SYS:Utilities and forgot old MultiView by
Commodore.
Features :
- Works under OS 2.0 !!!
- Locale support
- Under OS 3.0 can use datatypes
- Recognized 633 filetypes via FileID.library
- Configurable via tooltypes
- Gives you info about file (which type is it)
- Nearly complete replace for MultiView by Commodore
- xfdmaster support in registered version
News in this version :
- From now MultiView is ShareWare !!!
- If FileID.library not found using DEFAULT
- If amigaguide.library not found using DEFAULT
- If DEFAULT not found using C:More
- xfdmaster support for packed files (only in registered version)
Some problems :
- viewers must be in your path or given with complete path, when used
(DOS.library`s Execute function related)
- no external prefs program
(maybe in future 8->> )
- can handle only commands up to 512 characters
(max. CLI command length is 512)
