FullView v1.1
FullView is a text viewer, with one basic difference to all other text viewers
I have seen - the up/down gadgets are at the bottom of the screen, instead of
on the side of the screen. This means that you get the full 80 columns across,
instead of only 78. FullView will also open up to the height of the Workbench
screen, meaning you get the maximum possible screen size.
To start FullView, type from the CLI
FullView filename
or from the Workbench, doubleclick on a project icon that has FullView as its
default tool.
FullView consists of a hi-res screen, 3 gadgets and 2 menus. The gadgets are
at the bottom of the screen. The up and down arrows move you in that direction
through the text. The status bar between the two arrows tells you your
current posisition in the file. The close gadget at the top provides a way to
exit the program.
The first menu, Project, contains the following options :
[NB A-xx means RIGHT-AMIGA + xx]
Load (A-L) - allows you to load a new text file from within FullView.
Save (A-S) - allows you to save the current file as straight ASCII text.
Print
Screen (A-C) - allows you to send the screen as ASCII text to the printer.
All (A-P) - allows you to send the whole text file to the printer.
Search (A-E) - allows you to search for a specified text string in the
text.
Scroll (1-4) - allows you to change the scroll speed, 1 being the slowest,
and 4 the fastest.
About (A-A) - Displays a requester giving short program info.
Iconify (A-I) - Iconifies FullView to a small window on the Workbench
screen.
Quit ESC, Q - exits FullView.
The second menu, Move, contains the following options :
Top (A-T) - Move to the top of the current text
Bottom (A-B) - Move to the bottom of the current text
Page Up (A-U) - Move one page upwards
Page Down (A-D) - Move one page downwards
The following keys may be used in FullView :
Up Arrow
Left Arrow
- Move one line up
With SHIFT, move one page up
With CTRL, move to top of file
Down Arrow
Right Arrow - Move one line down
With SHIFT, move one page down
With CTRL, move to bottom of file
ESC, Q - Quit
1-4 - Change scroll speed
SPACE - Start/stop forwards scrolling (also left mouse button)
BACKSPACE - Start/stop reverse scrolling (also right mouse button)
FullView also allows you to load files compressed with the FVCompress
program accompanying FullView. The compression generally yields between
a 30% and 50% reduction in size.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FullView 2.0
Major changes to FullView in v2.0 are :
a) Use of the ARP library. The results in a better file requester, slightly
smaller executable size, and full wildcard support in searching.
b) Loading and Saving are much faster.
c) The old FullView compression routines (Huffman) have been replaced by
the PowerPacker decrunch routines. PowerPacker gives better compression,
and the decrunching is much faster.
d) FullView now opens to the full width of the Workbench screen, as well as
the height.
e) Scroll speed has been removed from the menu. The scroll speed and
direction are based on the vertical position of the mouse pointer.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FullView 2.01
Major changes to FullView in v2.01 are :
a) Don't use ARP anymore.
b) Wildcards no longer supported in searches.
c) Shows IFF files either from within FullView or from CLI/Workbench.
From Workbench, set picture's ToolTypes to read FILETYPE=ILBM.
From CLI, enter +p after filename. Eg,
FullView picture.pic +p
Press TAB to turn cycling on or off. PowerPacker-crunched IFF files can
also be shown.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FullView 2.02
A few bugs fixed. IFF viewer now much better. Slowest scrolling speed is
slow enough to read comfortably.
