It allows copy/paste of text from an INF and is generally superior to view.exe in every way.] Now with 73% more color and font support! Please visit my page so I can get some idea of the number of downloads: http://homepages.visp.co.nz/~aaronlawrence/NewView.html Have a nice day! V1.41.24 Enhancements: - Searching for multipart/symbols now works e.g. __os2__ or CAKE_AND_BISCUITS Note: These searches can be slow due to the need to verify exact sequences in the help file. - Improved the sorting of search results - Support custom fonts in the file Note: smallest size is deliberately limited to 8 point - Direct RGB color editing ;) - Support text foreground/background colors - Added a popup menu item to search for the selected text. - Adding logging of call stack on exceptions. Hurrah! - Open Special operates like command line (includes environment var expansion, path searching) - Improved mouse/keyboard handling: - Ctrl+Cursor skips words - Left mouse + shift keeps selection - Double click words to select - Left mouse drag + right click copies - Alt+Cursor always scrolls - Home/End goes to line start/end Bug fixes: - Contents/index decoding fixes - Cursor positioning around margins - Selection problem around line ends - Find in topic faster and less buggy - Printing to network printers without port - Less restriction on total length of filenames when opening multiple files (still some probs) - Better handling of disk errors in file dialog - Missing space characters in some files - Crash when deleting notes - Notes now keep leading and trailing whitespace Note: a single pararaph note still does not keep it's final carriage return, apparently due to an OS/2 bug - Doesn't crash if default fonts missing (WarpSans/Helv) - Fixes to font selection dialog - Allow run-in images to be aligned (centred etc). - Put spaces after images if spacing is set (guess). - Message boxes improved a bit - Problem decoding margins set to 0 (resulted in very wide text!) - Flickering when displaying topic with notes -- aaronl at consultant dot com "...so powerful is the charm of words, which for us reduces to manageable entities all the passions that would otherwise madden and destroy us." - Gene Wolfe, The Shadow of the Torturer -- To unsubscribe yourself from this list, send the following message to majormajoratos2voice.org unsubscribe news end If you have an announcement you would like posted to the VOICE News list, please send it to submitatos2voice.org.
