QView v1.1, © 1989 Lyman Epp Another File Viewer? What for? Well, it seems that all the other file viewers have been written in C. This is okay, but the programs are 10-20k. This file viewer is written in assembler and contains most of the features of the others, but the program size is less than 4k! QView stands for Quick View. This is being distributed as ShareWare.
