NewView is a free replacement for the original OS/2 or eComStation  online
help system. 

Major enhancements are:

 - New user interface (split window)
 - Select and copy direct from window
 - Easy to use global (all files) search
 - Remembers size & position
 - Most recently used files list
 - Smooth scrolling display
 - Current topic always highlighted in contents
 - Can go forward as well as back in history
 - Options for fonts, colors and more
 - Annotate help files
 - Bookmarks
 - Fully resizeable
 - Automatic web, ftp and email links (uses default WPS browser)
 - Drop files to open
 - Open additional files
 - Automatic language selection
 - Automatic index creation 
 - Enhanced file dialog with help file titles

Changes in V2.14.33

Search:
 - Global search can search drives as well as help paths
 - Toolbar button for global search
 - Phrase search e.g. "warp server"
 - Highlighting of search words now works correctly
   for words like OS/2, WM_CLOSE
 - Alt+S always moves focus to search entry field
 - Multi-word searches on the command line work
   e.g. view cmdref directory command
 - First search match is brought into view
 - Search from command line now matches
   (undocumented) old view behaviour.
 - New /s <text> option to do a normal search.

Layout:
 - No extra space at end of italic if in fixed width
   (fix display of tables containing italic)
 - Display :nt tag with correct indent
 - Footnote windows get a title

User Interface:
 - New windows are positioned offset from topmost
   help window
 - Tooltips for toolbar buttons
 - Remember full file paths for most recent list,
   when specified using relative directories
 - F11/F12: previous/next in contents
 - F7/F8: back/forward
 - Tab or Shift+Tab moves between left and right panels
 - Many other keyboard navigation fixes
   (Sibyl tab handling rewritten)
 - Help improved; includes context help for some things.
 - Minimum window sizes
 - Default colors for systems using less than 16 bit
   color, reduced to plain/standard colors (e.g VGA boot)
 - Tools - Debug menu removed
 - Other tweaks to disable menu items, etc.

Internationalisation
 - Swedish translation, thanks to Simon Gronlund
 - Updated Spanish translation, thanks to David Mediavilla
 - Space on Product Information dialog for translators

Other
 - Install no longer complains about duplicate files
   if . is in path.
 - PMSeek (16bit) help works (corrected exported function case)
 - Now using OpenWatcom - service problem fixed, thanks
   again to Michal Necasek
 - Use Web Explorer for browser, if no other registered!
 - Better validation against corrupt help files
 - NewView help is now a .hlp file, not .inf, and goes
   in the system help dir. Old newview.inf is deleted.
 - Fixed very rare crash showing dialogs
 - Fixed some bookmark editor problems
 - Fixed problems setting fonts
 - Fixed default file filter using standard OS/2 dialogs
 - Fixed printing

Also - I forgot to put in the changes.txt:
 - Own help file can now be language-specific, as for interface.
 - Also look in %OSDIR%\lang and %ULSPATH% for language files.
