-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I am pleased to announce the release of an all new version of HyperView
for OS/2 Presentation Manager (PM). The HyperView package includes both
the new PM version as well as the classic text mode edition. HyperView
3.0 is available immediately.
HyperView is a high performance file viewer with special features for
isolating and extracting information from word processing and text
files. It reads popular word processing formats, ASCII text files, and
files compressed in the ZIP format. Word processing files in ZIP
archives are automatically converted to text.
With HyperView, you focus quickly on pertinent information. HyperView's
search function lets you tag all lines of text containing a matching
search string. Text may also be tagged and untagged manually. Tagged
lines are viewed in a separate window and displayed simultaneously -- in
context -- in the main text window. These powerful features let you
easily create a hyperview into your document.
HyperView is fast and easy to use. It is suitable not only as a free
standing program, but also as an add-on to your favorite file manager.
Herb Tyson selected HyperView as one of "the top dozen or so 'must have'
OS/2 programs" in his book Your OS/2 Warp Version 3 Consultant.
HyperView is also a charter member of the OS/2 "Must Have" Utilities
List published on the Internet.
These are some of HyperView's features:
o Automatically recognizes and reads popular word processing formats,
including:
-Ami Pro
-Clearlook
-DeScribe
-Microsoft Word for Windows
-WordPerfect
o Automatically recognizes compressed files in the ZIP format. Works
in tandem with Info-ZIP's UNZIP.EXE to view compressed files
directly, without making a copy on your hard drive. Compressed files
with long file names and names with spaces may be viewed even on non-
HPFS drives.
o Tag and untag lines of text manually or automatically, from the
search dialog.
o View files in full screen, condensed, or split screen views.
o Loads files almost instantaneously.
o Blazingly fast searches.
o Can be used as a file viewer with you favorite file manager.
o Tagged lines may be copied or appended to the OS/2 clipboard or to a
file.
o All or part of a file may be gathered and copied or appended to the
OS/2 clipboard or to a file.
o Directory listing to pick file for viewing and to navigate file
system.
o Adjustable right margin for stripped ASCII and word processing files.
o Searches may cross line boundaries when working with word processing
and stripped ASCII files.
o Supports long file names and names with spaces.
o Case insensitive searches may be performed in any language.
o Commands may be invoked without the use of shifted keystrokes.
The following features are currently only available in the text mode
edition:
o View files in hex format.
o Ability to read from standard input on startup.
o May be started from the OS/2 DOS command line or a DOS program
running in an OS/2 DOS session (VDM).
o View encrypted ZIP archives (you supply the password).
o Perfect for reading files when you must boot off a floppy or when you
run OS/2 without Presentation Manager.
HyperView is distributed as user-supported software. The registration
fee is $35(US) for individuals. Quantity pricing is available.
