AVIEW is a simple archive-viewer utility for the Norton Commander, it views
ARC, ARJ, LZH, PAK, ZIP and ZOO archives automatically, it shows lots of
info's about the files in the archive, you can also tag files and unpack
them, viewing of archives in archives is also possible, all automatic!
AVIEW is made for usage under the Norton Commander, however, the Norton
Commander is NOT needed to use AVIEW, AVIEW can also be used stand-alone.
****************************************************************************
NOTE: This version was included with the RAFT V2.x package for use with
the archive-view option.

Place AVIEW.EXE and AVIEW.CTL in the same directory as NC.EXE and
NCMAIN.EXE, then edit the NC.EXT file (plain ascii-file), and add the
following lines:
ARC: AVIEW !.!
ARJ: AVIEW !.!
LZH: AVIEW !.!
PAK: AVIEW !.!
ZIP: AVIEW !.!
ZOO: AVIEW !.!
Restart the Norton commander, now when you enter a file that has the
extension ARC, ARJ, LZH, PAK, ZIP or ZOO, aview will be started and will
show you the information you want from the archive, press F1 in AVIEW for
on-line help about the keys you can use.

You can edit the AVIEW.CTL file, its a plain ascii-file, the following
commands can be used to configure AVIEW:
NOCOLOR
───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
With this command you force AVIEW in black and white mode, this can be
handy for laptop-users with LCD-Screens.
VIEWER <Viewer>
───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
For defining the viewer to use with the view-function, default is LIST.
EDITOR <Editor>
───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
For defining the editor to use with the edit-function, default is Q
(Qedit), NOTE: Use only a editor which doesn't create any backup-files!
EXTRACTPATH <Path>
───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
The path to use for extracting files to, when this path isn't defined,
AVIEW will prompt for a path before extracting any files.
TEMPPATH <Path>
───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
With this command you define the path AVIEW must use as work-directory,
this can be a ram-drive which will speed-up AVIEW dramatically, note that
the temppath is always removed when AVIEW is finished using it, including
ALL the directory's and ALL files it includes.
SCANNER [<Path>\]<Filename>
───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
With this command you can define the virus-scanner to use for scanning the
file unpacked with the unpack function, when no virus-scanner is defined,
NO scan will be performed.
SCANNERPARM <Parameters>
───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
With this command you can define the parameters to use for the virus-
scanner.
