View - ASCII File Viewer
Author: David Foster Copyright H.L.C. Services
VIEW is placed in the Public Domain and may be freely used but it may
not be sold, nor distributed as part of any commercial program. To the
best of our knowledge the program, as supplied, is bug-free, but no
responsibility can be accepted for any problems arising from its use.
View is a simple text file viewer intended as an alternative to using
the MS-DOS 'TYPE' command to view text files. The advantages are that
not only can you scroll and jump up and down through files, but you
can also scroll sideways. The file may also be printed from within
View.
No instructions are really necessary and the bottom line of the screen
displays valid keys. When printing, the program assumes continuous
stationery and prints 60 lines to a page, performing a 'form feed'
between pages. If lines are wider than the printer can handle,
pagination will become disrupted. Printing starts from the line
currently displayed at the top of the screen.
To run View from the MS-DOS prompt, use:-
VIEW <pathname>
where <pathname> is the name of the file to be viewed and may include
drive and/or path.
