FastTextView v1.1  -  15. July 1997   -  FREEWARE for Windows95

(c) by Marko Schuster (ns103@fen.baynet.de)


FEATURES:       - Displays any files as ASCII in a window with the font
                  "small.font", size 7. (A standard windows font!)
                - Directory-View in the same window to scan fast through
                  the directory and the whole device.
                - Can display unix/amiga-texts (EndOfLine = only LF)
                
REQUIREMENTS:   This prg. needs the standard-visualbasic4 runtime-libraries
                installed on your system. Not included in this package!
                And of course Windows 95 or compatibles :-)

BUGS:   Sometimes, when started with a file-name ("ftv test.txt" for example),
        it quits with an error. Don't know why .. 

LIMITATIONS: Hum, I think there will be problems with bigger files:
             VisualBasics List-view-window has a maximum of 32768 lines,
             so larger texts with more than 32768 lines will make problems.
             (A avarage line has ~60chars, so the we MAY be able to load
             texts upto 1.8 MB, should be enough for most texts, hm? :-) )



USAGE:  ftv [<filename>]


Special Keys in the text-window:
--------------------------------

ESC - close window (quit programme)
ENTER (or DoubleClick) - copy selected line(s) to clipboard
BACKSPACE - go to directory-view (same as DIR-Button or ALT-D)
ALT-E - start the windows-editor (notepad.exe) with the shown text

ALT-F / FIND:   Searches for a text (non-case-sensitive), starting with the
                current line. ALT-N search for the next occurrence.
                If nothing found, the last line is shown. Press ALT-N then
                to search from first line again.
                (FIND works in text- and dir-mode!)

DirView-mode: DoubleClick or ENTER to change directory / view file




HISTORY:        v1.1    15.Jul'97       Added FIND. First public release
                v1.0       May'97       


FUTURE: Don't know if there will be any updates. Maybe I'll add the ability
        to change the font someday...
