Short: V0.91: Freeware Textviewer Author: chris@prophecynews.co.uk (Chris Perver) Uploader: chris prophecynews co uk (Chris Perver) Type: text/show Version: 0.91 Replaces: text/show/EvenMore.lha Requires: Kickstart 39+, MUI 3.8, BetterString MCC Architecture: m68k-amigaos >= 3.0.0 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 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 MorphOS version now uses PNG images from Ambient/Ed for the GUI. o Images for MorphOS version are now loaded using MUI 4's DtPic class. o Fixed bad bug. Line printing routine was not checking for empty lines, which was causing bad crashes when using the file conversion plugins. o Preferences window title now uses translation catalog string. o Iconify icon will now be the EvenMore program icon rather than the default MUI icon. o File information routine was not checking for empty lines, which could cause a crash. o Stefan Haubenthal has very kindly updated the German catalog. o S. Hawamdeh has also very kindly supplied an Italian catalog translation. o Made a basic EvenMore png icon for MorphOS and OS4. o Updated catalogs with extra strings for gadget help bubbles. o Linked lists now keep a record of how many nodes they have, which saves counting them when opening a file through the plugins. o Optimised menu code and directory colour code, removing the need for strings for checking menu items and converting hexadecimal to decimal. o S. Hawamdeh has updated his Italian catalog translation. o Added some escape code sequences that were missing. ESC[8m will make the text colour the same as the background and ESC[28m will return it to normal. o ESC[39m will set the text to the default colour. ESC[49m will set the background to the default colour. o Created a Pipe2Text plugin for the PIPE: handler, so you can load files from the PIPE: device. This required alterations to the main executable code. o EvenMore AmiKit GUI is now based on the MorphOS version, and uses datatypes to load the icon images. There are still a few things to be ironed out though. Please read the docs. Updates available at http://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.
