- THIS IS A SHORT README FILE! READ THE DOCS FOR THE FULL INFO! THAT'S RIGHT! I
- SAID READ THE DOCS BEFORE YOU EVEN THINK ABOUT DISTRIBUTING THIS ARCHIVE IN ANY
- FORM!
-
- 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 0.4beta3
- --------------------------------------
-
- o Scroller window allows easier moving about documents.
- o AppWindow, AppIcon and AppMenu makes loading files easy. Not only can you
- drag files onto them, but also drawers, and a requester will appear!
- o Totally font sensitive, and you can select which font to view the text in.
- o Tooltypes and preference file(s) for configuring, and you can configure
- the settings while EvenMore is running too.
- 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 Developing ARexx port for remote control.
- o Supports the numeric keypad and mouse movement.
- o Very clean and smooth scrolling.
- o String and pattern finding functions.
- o Bookmarks for remembering positions in the document.
- o Quick load listview for loading documents fast.
- o Slightly configurable GUI for quick access to features.
- o File loading uses AsyncIO.
- o Can load multiple files.
- o Help available by pressing the help key.
- o Gadget help bubbles.
- o User-configurable filetypes, for passing certain files to different programs.
- o Uses EasyGUI, the best GUI in the history of the world.
- o Uses ReqTools library.
-
- Here are the recent features
- ----------------------------
-
- o Added gadget help bubbles. Just leave the mouse positioned over a gadget, and
- a help bubble appears. Thanks to Will Harwood for the code. (Although I did
- modify it slightly).
- o Cleaned up smooth scrolling routine a bit.
- o Increased maximum zoom to 200%.
- o Now + and - keys will zoom in and out by 10%.
- o Added percentage of zoom to the window title.
- o Limited text offset maximum to 10.
- o Added Soft fade and Plain look to GUI settings menu.
- o Added Random look to GUI settings menu.
- o You can now have a box drawn around the gadgets or text instead of a bevel
- border.
- o Renamed the preferences, BEVELSOFFSET to BORDERSOFFSET, BEVELTEXT to
- BORDERTEXT and BEVELGADGETS to BORDERGADGETS.
- o Removed some unecessary exception handling.
- o Made 'failed to allocate memory' exceptions more specific about what actually
- went wrong.
- o Removed 'Loading...' message from window title, as it is not needed as there
- is now a progress window.
- o At last worked out I needed to use 32bit multiplication and division in order
- to calculate the progress window percentage, instead of using a lot of
- division to break it down into smaller numbers.
- o Optimized some scroller gadget code.
- o Now only the text and not the GUI is redrawn when zooming.
- o Replaced zoom requester with a GUI with a slider, in which you can test, use
- or cancel the zoom.
-
- 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.
