What is it?
-----------
Yet another file reader, you might think, and you are right. I missed
small XPK-understanding file reader with reasonable feature list, but there
was none available. Most ( (c) 1992 by Uwe Röhm) can hardly be called
small (but it surely has 'reasonable' feature list!). I have to admit that
xMore is currently bigger than I planned it to be, but people don't seem to
want small programs, they want features! So, what do you get?
+ light speed search! No loss of speed even if case insensitive
and/or backwards!
+ wildcard search. Searching doesn't slow down if only "?" is
used (in fact it is FASTER when "?" is used).
+ hex mode.
+ FAST scrolling. Should beat Most (pun intended) textreaders
using customized Text() function with custom screen.
+ displays ANSI styles (no colors) and some backspace-styles
+ variable TAB size! (now you can read those funny #?.c
files with too much TABs ;)
+ can start one of the four possible editors.
+ freely definable keys!
+ font sensitivity, user definable font.
+ definable window dimensions, defaults to display size.
+ opens on any public screen or opens it's own screen.
+ multiple files from shell, Workbench and file requester.
+ pipe support.
+ clipboard support.
+ Support for Directory Opus compatibility.
+ character conversion.
+ lots of small details like default zoomed size exactly one
line high. Small things make the difference!
+ can be made resident (has been pure from day one, but who
remembers to mention everything)
+ OS 2.04 required (sorry, v36 users. There just is too much
functions in RKMs with text 'this function is broken in V36'
that I didn't bother dodging them. To pre-2.0 users xMore is
Yet Another Reason To Update. Come on guys, do you use CP/M
at work or what ? ;)
+ Can read files containig more than 65535 lines! With hex mode
this is MUST (256K+ file in narrow window = lots of lines!).
(This would be suitable place to mention certain well-known
directory utility and another XPK-supporting reader which both
assume no-one has REALLY big files, but that could give offence
to JP and UR, so I won't)
- wildcard search only supports "?"
- reads whole file into memory (EVERYBODY has min. 1 Meg today)
; 1.4 10.04.94
; Now recognizes window size changes correctly.
; Pipe and clipboard support added.
; Supports reverse character/cell colors. Form feed/carriage return
; displayed as reverse "L"/"M".
; Can backspace over one style change, speeds up backspace-styles a lot!
; Scrolling with left mouse button. Forcequit with right mouse button if
; RMBQUIT given. This one for DOpus freaks.
; Menu multi-selection works.
; Mysterious Software Failure found - I forgot to RemoveGadget() the
; scroller, leading to wild reads after DisposeObject(). What's worse,
; CloseWindow() tried to free gadget memory - kaboom 8(
; Argument parsing rewritten. Now reads arguments from commandline (if
; started from shell), then fills in non-specified arguments using icon
; tooltypes and finally from settings file.
; Interline spacing.
; Uses custom Text() routine if machine and font permit it (68020+, 8*8
; font). Disabled on V39 machines if RastPort doesn't support per-plane
; masking (display boards).
; Uses project-specific FILEMODE and TABSIZE tooltypes.
; If you changed tabsize while having scrolled right, titlebar still
; displayed horizontal offset.
; Fixed lockup when trying to jump to unset bookmark (yet another
; "optimization" 8(
; Tab code changed, hopefully last time.
; Automagic character conversion.
; If xMore doesn't have path, copies it from Workbench. Should help
; when starting editor with activator (CEd, GoldEd ...).
; If xMore has to determine the screenmode, it takes it from default
; public screen instead of Workbench.
