I am pleased to announce the release of HyperView version 3.1.
Version 3.1 contains the following enhancements:
o Hex viewer for PM version
o Popup menus
o Option to format gathered text with expanded tabs and hard returns
o Paragraph spacing option for word processing files
o Even faster startup and operation
o Instructions for printing from HyperView
o Other improvements
For those who have not yet tried the program, HyperView is a high performance
file viewer with special functions for isolating and extracting information
from word processing, text, and ZIP files. It reads popular word processing
formats, as well as ASCII text files. HyperView is fast and easy to use.
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 may then
be isolated in one window while being viewed simultaneously--with surrounding
text--in the main text window.
The HyperView package includes both Presentation Manager (PM) and text mode
versions of the program.
These are some of HyperView's features:
- Automatically recognizes and reads popular word processing formats,
including:
* Ami Pro * Clearlook
* DeScribe * Microsoft Word for Windows, and
* WordPerfect
- 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.
- Tag and untag lines of text manually or from the Search Dialog.
- Separate windows for tagged lines and full text.
- View files in hex format.
- Loads files almost instantaneously.
- Blazingly fast searches.
- Can be used as a file viewer with you favorite file manager.
- Tagged lines may be copied or appended to the OS/2 clipboard or to a file.
- All or part of a file may be gathered and copied or appended to the OS/2
clipboard or to a file.
- Directory listing to pick file for viewing and to navigate file system.
- Adjustable right margin for stripped ASCII and word processing files.
- Searches may cross line boundaries when working with word processing and
stripped ASCII files.
- Supports long file names and names with spaces.
- Case insensitive searches may be performed in any language.
- Commands may be invoked without the use of shifted keystrokes.
The following features are currently only available in the text mode edition:
- Ability to read from standard input on startup.
- May be started from the OS/2 DOS command line or a DOS program running in
an OS/2 DOS session (VDM).
- View encrypted ZIP archives (you supply the password).
- 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.
