³ TinyView (TV) Doc File - Version 1.0 ³
|
||
ÔÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍ;
|
||
|
||
Welcome to TinyView (called TV from here on)! This program is the best
|
||
text file viewer your ever going to see. It's tiny (958 bytes), it can
|
||
view ANY size text file, it displays lines up to 1024 characters wide,
|
||
and it uses all 25 lines of your display. How does TV do all of this?
|
||
Through the magic of assembler. This program is written in 100% pure
|
||
assembly language for the smallest, fastest program possible. When you
|
||
want to view a file you type:
|
||
|
||
TV filename.ext (Paths and drive letters are fully supported)
|
||
|
||
|
||

³ HOW TO USE TV ³
|
||
ÀÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÙ
|
||
After TV loads your file you will be presented with a FULL screen of
|
||
data WITHOUT any kind of status line to clutter up your display. How
|
||
do you go up and down through the file you ask? You use the keys that
|
||
would make the most sense, of course! The keys that TV uses are:
|
||
|
||
PgUp - Go up 1 page
|
||
PgDn - Go down 1 page
|
||
Home - Go to the top of the file
|
||
End - Go to the end of the file
|
||
- Move up one line
|
||
- Move down one line
|
||
-> - Move screen right 10 columns
|
||
<- - Move screen back to left margin
|
||
ESC - Quit TV and exit to DOS
|
||
|
||
|
||

|
||
³ HIDDEN GOODIES ³
|
||
ÀÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÙ
|
||
Just because TV is small doesn't mean it's not potent. (Have any of
|
||
you ladies heard a guy say that lately?). TV filters and properly
|
||
displays ALL 256 characters from the IBM character set. Who cares you
|
||
say? You would if TV didn't do that. You see, some of the IBM
|
||
character set can produce "strange" results if your viewer doesn't
|
||
properly handle the character. Try using TV on a file that contains
|
||
the ASCII character number 9 (TAB), 10 (line feed), or a 12 (form feed)
|
||
and see what happens. Now, use your file viewer and see what happens.
|
||
That's when you'll really appreciate the "hidden goodies" of TV!
|
||
|
||

|
||
³ FINAL NOTES ³
|
||
ÀÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÙ
|
||
One final note: TV is to be considered a Public Domain program. What
|
||
does that mean? It means that you can freely give this program to
|
||
anyone who wants a copy. As a matter of fact I encourage you to give
|
||
this program to everyone, whether or not they want it (grin)! The only
|
||
stipulation to this offer is this: you must include the file TV.DOC
|
||
with evey copy of TV.COM that you give away. Not too tough, huh?
|
||
|
||
So use it, give it away, and enjoy it!

(Hey, I'm talking about my program - Get your mind out of the gutter!!)
