This software is for OS2.0+, it will not work under 1.3!

Well here it is... Yet another text file viewer.  I wrote this one because I
was sick of all the other viewers out there.  The only ones I really liked
were built into other programs.  So here it is... A small, extremely FAST
text file viewer.

I have been getting some criticism over my choice for a scroll bar.  The
reason for this is that the regular large-style 3D bar is annoying when
you are trying to read the text.  That is why I chose this style.

Also, I am no longer going to Implode the executable.  Because of this the final
code size is approximately 4k larger than before.  This is, however, actually
smaller than the old code!


[4mFeatures[0m:

- Handling for powerpacked files
- Reqtools requesters
- Real time scroll bar
- Handles ANSI codes & tabs
- SMALL code, FAST scrolling!
- Environment parameters (interlace mode, color)
- Text search
- Looks great!


[4mCopyright Notices[0m:

	This program makes use of both PowerPacker.library and ReqTools.library
	which are Copyright (C) Nico François.


[4mInstallation[0m:

To install, place Moor in your C: directory.  You will probably want to rename
it "More", or whatever you call your current poor text viewer.

If you do not already have "powerpacker.library" or "reqtools.library", you
will need to place these files in your LIBS: directory.  They are included
with this archive.

To run, just type MOOR <filename>.  If there is not enough contiguous memory
to load the file, or the file does not exist you will get an error message.


[4mCommand Keys[0m:

RAmiga+Q or
Escape			- Quit and exit MOOR

Up/Down			- Move up/down in the file 1 line at a time

Shift Up/Shift Down,
Backspace/Space,
Page Up/Page Down	- Move up/down a screen at a time

Left/Right		- Move left/right two positions

Shift Left/Right	- Move 20 character positions to the left/right

Home or `			- Go to the top of the file

End or 0			- Go to the bottom of the file

Keys 1-9			- Move to that percentage in the file
				  (I.E. pressing 3 would place you 30% into the file)

RAmiga+O or
O				- Load a new file

RAmiga+S or
S				- Search for a text string

RAmiga+N or
N				- Show next occurence of text


Open, Quit, and Search, and Find Next can now be activated via pulldown menus.


[4mSearch Mode[0m:

When you perform a search, Moor highlights all occurences of the text it found
in the file and then goes to the first occurence.  You can scroll through the
file manually and they will be visibly highlighted.  The "Find Next" option
will go to the next occurence of text found that is not on the current screen.


[4mEnvironment Settings[0m:

There are currently two options that can be set.

[4mCode[0m	 [4mOption     [0m  [4mDescription                         [0m  [4mDefault[0m
 I    Interlace    Places screen in interlace mode	  Non-Interlace
 C    Color Swap   Swaps screen text/background colors   Black on White

To change these options, place this statement in your startup sequence:

"setenv MOOR <Command Codes>"		(Order of codes does not matter)

For example, to swap the screen colors to white text on a black background
and put Moor into interlace mode, the command would be:

"setenv MOOR IC"


[4mMiscellaneous Info[0m:

Tab size is currently set at 5.  This will be able to be changed in later
versions.

I am looking for nice icons (one for the Moor itself and one for the document
file).  If you want to design some icons and I like them, I will include them
in the next available version and give you credit for them.


[4mSoon to come[0m:

- More pull-down menu support
- Custom screen size
- Printing options
- XPR compression support
- Iconify


[4mBug Reports[0m:

If you have any bugs report, PLEASE tell me your system setup (OS version, CPU
type, memory etc..).  If you can tell me any information about the file you
were trying to view, where it was located, or anything else that would be
very helpful.

I am running on OS2.0 on a Amiga 2500 with a 68020.  If you are using systems
other than this configuration I would like to hear from you.  Let me know how
it runs!

This program is currently FreeWare.  You may freely distribute MOOR as long
as the original archive is kept intact.  You cannot, however, sell this
software.  Fred Fish has my permission to include MOOR in his disks.
(If anyone knows how to submit a file to Fred Fish, please let me know.)

Like anyone, I appreciate getting things in the mail - especially from other
countries!  Drop me a note and tell me what you think of MOOR!  If you want
to help send me through college, feel free to send me something you feel my
time or effort is worth.
