Short: Text viewer with many features V2.2
Author: Juergen Klawitter
Uploader: Andreas Neumann <Neumanna@stud-mailer.uni-marburg.de>
Type: text/show
Replaces: text/show/Next2.1*
NEXT is a fast and compact text viewer written in assembly. It displays all
kinds of files including binaries, XPK- or powerpacked files and archived
files (LhA,LZX,ZIP,GZIP). NEXT can also be used to unpack whole archives
or a number of selected files to a directory of your choice.
AmigaGuide files are displayed as hypertext by default but can also be
converted to readable ANSI text. Additionally pictures can be viewed
on own screen by means of datatypes. OS 3.0 or higher is required in this
case.
NEXT has efficient functions for loading, analysing and printing texts,
some of them are completely new and not available in other text viewers.
Search routines are very fast and display all matches at once on display.
Search can be started in the usual way or by a mouse click on the word
to be searched.
Changes in V2.2
===============
meaning: + new, ^ improved, * changed, - removed
+ Settings window for selection of print modes etc.
+ `UNPACK select' mode for dearchiving selected files
+ Unpacking of archives with or without paths selectable
+ Option ASK asks (what else) before loading next file within a directory
+ Command `COPY file'
+ Command `MOVE window' moves window down/up by key press
+ Command `JUMP back' jumps to the position you previously jumped from
+ CENTERTITLE, BOLD, UNDERLINED, ITALIC: new modes for prints with page
numbers and title
+ Information about displayed pictures
+ xpk- and powerpacked file are decrunched now before displaying them
my means of amigaguide.library or datatypes
^ Patterns for filename no longer restricted to basename, wildcards can be
anywhere in the path
^ Requesters now appear centered on screen
^ Inputline replaced by inputwindow with gadtools surface
^ List windows (Reload, View archive...) now adapt their width to longest
filename
^ Help now displayed in own scrollable window
^ more (localized) dos error messages
* for extraction of LZX archives LZX V1.21 or UnLZX V1.21 are needed.
Older versions will not work
* Next no longer tries to use amigaguide.library to display text files and
executables if in `AsGuide all' mode. Didn't make much sense
- Option FLUSH, is default anyway
- Help II, no longer needed
- some smaller bugs
