    Ed: This file is being shown by FullView to give you an idea of what
   it's like. To move through the file, press the down arrow on your
   keyboard. If it weren't for Most, this would be our viewer of choice.
   Note that FullView shows PowerPacker crunched files as well as normal
   ASCII files and pictures.

                           FullView v1.1  


    FullView is a text viewer, with one basic difference to all other text
   viewers I have seen - the up/down gadgets are at the bottom of the
   screen, instead of on the side of the screen. This means that you get
   the full 80 columns across, instead of only 78. FullView will also
   open up to the height of the Workbench screen, meaning you get the
   maximum possible screen size.

    To start FullView, type from the CLI

  FullView filename

    or from the Workbench, doubleclick on a project icon that has FullView
   as its default tool.

    FullView consists of a hi-res screen, 3 gadgets and 2 menus. The
   gadgets are at the bottom of the screen. The up and down arrows move
   you in that direction through the text. The status bar between the two
   arrows tells you your current posisition in the file. The close gadget
   at the top provides a way to exit the program.

The first menu, Project, contains the following options :

  [NB A-x means RIGHT-AMIGA + x]

Load     (A-L) - allows you to load a new text file from within FullView.
Save     (A-S) - allows you to save the current file as straight ASCII text.
Print
  Screen (A-C) - allows you to send the screen as ASCII text to the printer.
  All    (A-P) - allows you to send the whole text file to the printer.
Search   (A-E) - allows you to search for a specified text string in the
                 text.
Scroll   (1-4) - allows you to change the scroll speed, 1 being the slowest,
                 and 4 the fastest.
About    (A-A) - Displays a requester giving short program info.
Iconify  (A-I) - Iconifies FullView to a small window on the Workbench
                 screen.
Quit    ESC, Q - exits FullView.

    The second menu, Move, contains the following options :

  Top       (A-T) - Move to the top of the current text
  Bottom    (A-B) - Move to the bottom of the current text
  Page Up   (A-U) - Move one page upwards
  Page Down (A-D) - Move one page downwards

    The following keys may be used in FullView :

  Up Arrow
  Left Arrow
               - Move one line up
                 With SHIFT, move one page up
                 With CTRL, move to top of file

  Down Arrow
  Right Arrow  - Move one line down
                 With SHIFT, move one page down
                 With CTRL, move to bottom of file

  ESC, Q       - Quit
  1-4          - Change scroll speed
  SPACE        - Start/stop forwards scrolling (also left mouse button)
  BACKSPACE    - Start/stop reverse scrolling (also right mouse button)


    FullView also allows you to load files compressed with the FVCompress
   program accompanying FullView. The compression generally yields
   between a 30% and 50% reduction in size.

                             FullView 2.0  

Major changes to FullView in v2.0 are :

a) Use of the ARP library. The results in a better file requester, slightly
   smaller executable size, and full wildcard support in searching.
b) Loading and Saving are much faster.
c) The old FullView compression routines (Huffman) have been replaced by
   the PowerPacker decrunch routines. PowerPacker gives better compression,
   and the decrunching is much faster.
d) FullView now opens to the full width of the Workbench screen, as well as
   the height.
e) Scroll speed has been removed from the menu. The scroll speed and
   direction are based on the vertical position of the mouse pointer.

----------------------------------------------------------------------


                            FullView 2.01  

    Major changes to FullView in v2.01 are :

    a) Don't use ARP anymore.
    b) Wildcards no longer supported in searches.
    c) Shows IFF files either from within FullView or from CLI/Workbench.
       From Workbench, set picture's ToolTypes to read FILETYPE=ILBM.
       From CLI, enter +p after filename. Eg,

                FullView picture.pic +p
