@{b}@{u}What's MultiIndicator ?@{uu}@{ub}


MultiIndicator is an ASC-HEX-Guide-indicator, but you have to remember that
you need AmigaGuide, MultiView or a similar program to indicate Guide-files.

This program is not an indicator for FD-disks, because it
1. is too voluminous,
2. needs OS2.0 or higher,
3. needs more memory than other indicators.

@ENDNODE

@NODE Warum "Why MultiIndicator ?"

@{b}@{u}Why MultiIndicator ?@{uu}@{ub}


Read the following feature list and @{u}compare@{uu} with other programs !


@{b}1.@{ub}  MultiIndicator shows ASC-files (with or without ESC-sequences and Tabs),
    HEX-files and Guide-files (if an external Guideindicator is available).
    MultiIndicator decides automatically if it uses the ASC-, HEX- or Guide-
    indicator.

@{b}2.@{ub}  MultiIndicator passes over ESC-sequences which would impair the output
    on the screen.

@{b}3.@{ub}  MultiIndicator can be configured with Prefs-files, that means you can
    always configure MultiIndicator differently.

@{b}4.@{ub}  MultiIndicator opens an AppIcon, if it was started from the Workbench,
    so that you can use it when you need it.

@{b}5.@{ub}  MultiIndicator shows compressed Guide-files exactly. This is not
    possible if you use AmigaGuide or MultiView alone.

@{b}6.@{ub}  You can compress and encrypt files with XPK. MultiIndicator realizes if
    a file is compressed and encrypted, for example you can compress a file
    with SHRI and then crypt that file with FEAL - MultiIndicator realizes
    this.

@{b}7.@{ub}  MultiIndicator has a comfortable print option, so you don't need a
    special print utility for ASC-files.

@{b}8.@{ub}  MultiIndicator supports Localization under Workbench 2.1.

@{b}9.@{ub}  MultiIndicator supports many options of OS 3.x, for example scalable
    Gadgets, NewLookMenus, Busypointer etc.

@{b}10.@{ub} MultiIndicator has a very good help system.

@{b}11.@{ub} MultiIndicator supports an external ASC-editor.

@{b}12.@{ub} MultiIndicator supports an external HEX-editor.

@{b}13.@{ub} MultiIndicator allows you to change the line spacing.

@{b}14.@{ub} MultiIndicator has a little ARexxPort.

@{b}15.@{ub} etc.

These are only the most important features.

Look at the changes in @{"History" link Entwicklung}.

@{b}@{u}Hardware Requirements for MultiIndicator@{uu}@{ub}


You need an Amiga with 512 KByte (@{u}better 1 MByte or more@{uu}), at least OS 2.x
and two disk drives or a harddisk.

MultiIndicator was coded on an Amiga 4000-040 with OS 3.0 and tested on:

A4000-040  with  18 MByte and OS 3.0 and Picasso II
A4000-040  with  10 MByte and OS 3.0
A4000-040  with   6 MByte and OS 3.0
A3000      with  10 MByte and OS 2.0 + OS 2.1 and OmniBus Graphiccard
A500+      with   1 MByte and OS 2.0 + OS 2.1

@{b}@{u}Software Requirements for MultiIndicator@{uu}@{ub}


For the installation you need the @{b}Commodore Installer@{ub}.

If you want to indicate XPK packed files you need the @{b}XPK-package@{ub}. If you
also want to indicate powerpacked files you need also the @{b}PowerPacker.li-@{ub}
@{b}brary@{ub}.

If you want to indicate Guide-files you need @{b}AmigaGuide@{ub} or @{b}MultiView@{ub} and the
@{b}AmigaGuide.library@{ub}.

All these programs were @{b}not@{ub} included in the MultiIndicator-archive, because
you can get the latest versions of these programs from every good mailbox or
