Version 1.12.14 of Aaron Lawrence's NewView Help Viewer is now
available. NewView is a rewrite of OS/2's View.exe. It reads INF and
HLP files. Improvements include a new UI, remember size/position,
select and copy from the window... etc 

Major enhancements in this release are:

- New user interface (split window with contents always available)
- Select and copy direct from window. Including keyboard selection
- Remembers size & position
- Most recently used files list
- Smooth scrolling display
- Always see where in contents current doc is
- Loads file into memory instead of leaving it open
- Can go forward as well as back in history
- Various options (colours, fonts etc)
- Annotate help files - notes are displayed within topic
- Fully resizeable even with multi-windows
- More search options.

What things DOES it display?

Contents
Index
Text
Links
Bitmaps
Styles & alignments
Examples (fixed-width, no right margin)
Multiple windows*

* Window Handling:
Since it is not designed in the MDI (Multi-document interface) model,
NewView has to do some odd things to handle multiple windows as they
are specified for View. The results seems to be generally acceptable,
but this depends on sub-windows not being listed in the contents
tree. This is the case for the OS/2 Toolkit docs, the main examples
of multiwindow usage.

NewView is freeware, and probably GPL'd too.
