- ( o) ( o) Lookin 4.0 (19940308)
- ^
- \_____/ by Stephen D. Childers
-
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- Program Description:
-
- 1) LookIn will let you look at the data from any location within a
- file, data will be displayed in hex. Printable characters will
- also be displayed in text format after the hex data format,
- unprintable characters will be displayed as a period.
-
- 2) Can only be used from CLI. Can be made resident.
-
- 3) Program (when run from CLI) will interact with the 'c:Why' command
- after program failures; this command may provide a more detailed
- explanation of why the program failed. The 'Why' command should be
- used immediately after a program failure to extract the last
- program's result code, because that result code is changed upon the
- execution of the next CLI command.
-
- 4) Certain error reports will contain the name of the argument, file,
- device, (etc) that is associated with failure when it occurs.
-
