QView 1.1 Copyright 1989 by Lyman Epp
Another "File Viewer???" What for? It seems that all the other
file viewers have been written in "C". This is okay, but the
programs are 10-20K. This file viewer is written in assembler
and contains most of the features of the others, but the program
size is less than 4K bytes! QView stands for "Quick View."
This is being distributed as ShareWare. If you think that QView
is useful, please send $10. Your response will insure the
release of more quality programs for your Amiga! Be sure to
check out the latest shareware version of QMouse.
The latest version of QView can always be found on the Wind
Dragon Inn BBS, (402)-291-8053 or Larry's Hot Tub BBS,
(402)- 571-4316.

QVIEW FEATURES
o Fast screen updates. Even faster with FastFonts or
BlitzFonts.
o Keyboard control of all features. Many file viewers only
allow movement with mouse control. QView is designed to be
used by touch typists.
o Search for an ASCII character string. Note: search is case
independant.
o Hex display mode. Note: search isn't implemented in hex
display mode.
o Works from WorkBench.
HOW TO USE
QView can be executed from the CLI or from WorkBench.
CLI Usage: QView file
If the file name contains spaces, it must be surrounded
by quotes (e.g. QView "test file"). Otherwise, quotes
are optional.

as well.
