Short: OS 2.x MultiView replacement - now with Locale Author: Marcin Juszkiewicz (Szczepan/SubBlaBla) Uploader: Type: util/sys Version: 2.71 Date: 07.07.97 Replaces: mv_os2.lha mv_os2_upd.lha Requires: FileID.library (included) Asl.library (part of AmigaOS) locale.library amigaguide.library --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Yet Another BlaBla Product !!! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Introduction ------------ This little program should be named MultiView and placed in the SYS:Utilities directory. I wrote it because when I used OS 2.1 and when unpack archives from Aminet or the like, I had this situation: doubleclick on an icon and a requester pops up : Unable to open your tool 'MultiView' Here is where this program comes in. It is called instead of the 3.x MultiView and for all the file types there can be a configured viewer that you like best. How to use it? -------------- Very simple. Just put it in SYS:Utilities and forgot old MultiView by Commodore Features -------- - Works under OS 2.0 !!! - Locale support - Under OS 3.0 can use datatypes - Recognized 633 filetypes via FileID.library - Configurable - Gives you info about file (which type is it) - Totally replace for MultiView by Commodore Some problems ------------- - viewers must be in your path or given with complete path, when used (DOS.library`s Execute function related) - no external prefs file/program (maybe in future 8->> ) - can handle only commands up to 512 characters (max. CLI command length is 512)
