Readme: | Short: V0.94: Freeware Textviewer (MorphOS) Author: chris@prophecynews.co.uk (Chris Perver) Uploader: chris prophecynews co uk (Chris Perver) Type: text/show Version: 0.94 Replaces: text/show/EvenMore_MOS.lha Requires: MUI 3.8, BetterString MCC Architecture: ppc-morphos
The Amiga operating system is well designed, but for some reason it has always lacked a decent textviewer. Commodore developed the More tool for reading plain text, and Amiga Guide and MultiView offered more enhanced features, including datatype recognition and such like. I wanted a textviewer which would look good and blend in with all my other Workbench patches. I started developing EvenMore in 1996 as a hobby. It started off fairly basic as textviewers go, but now EvenMore offers functions such as proportional font support, multi-coloured text, file conversion plugins, and more. EvenMore is entirely programmed in AmigaE/ECX, which is an excellent programming language developed by Wouter van Oortmerssen and Leif Salomonsson.
Here are its main features --------------------------
o Plugin system for viewing many different file types, such as AmigaGuide, HTML, WordWorth, MSWord, RTF, directories, etc. o Supports ANSI escape code sequences for text formatting, including full colour text for certain file types. o Extended set of ANSI escape code sequences for additional font styles. o True colour text rendering on systems with graphics cards. o Wordwrapping feature that works on proportional fonts. o Links are clickable in HTML, AmigaGuide, directories and other file types o Drag and drop files on the window to open them. o ARexx port for remote control. o Search function. o Configurable menus for frequently used documents. o Clipboard support. o Locale support. o Unlimited bookmarking system.
and more...
Here are the recent changes ---------------------------
o Fixed non-responsiveness of gadgets in updated MUI 4.0 for AmigaOS4. An MUI update was slightly incompatible with the way I had constructed my gadgets. o Spaces will now be treated as a single block in wordwrapping. This should speed up wrapping a little bit. o Fixed wrapping when the line has escape code sequences in it. o Fixed bug. Files were not loading from the current directory in the shell if EvenMore was run from a different directory. o Fixed bug. The buffer to linked list file conversion routine was not checking for the last line if it did not end in a linefeed or carriage return.
There are still a few things to be ironed out though. Please read the docs. Updates available at www.evenmore.co.uk
I cannot expect to be able to develop this program much further, as I am a Christian and believe Jesus Christ will return very soon. If I do not reply to any mail for months and months, then the development of this program has ceased.
