Viewer with word wrap. Has controls to handle various
styles of text formatting. Has top-of-file and bottom-of-
file buttons.

Settings

---

F1(recorder) / On-Left(player): toggles Word mode
between Wrap and Chop:
. Wrap breaks lines at white space or hyphen.
. Chop breaks lines at the maximum column limit.

F2(recorder) / On-Menu-Right(player): cycles Line mode
through Normal, Join and Expand:
. Normal breaks lines at newline characters.
. Join ignores unpaired newline charaters (i.e., joins
lines). Useful for adopting the orphans that occur with e-
mail style (i.e., pre-wrapped) text files.
. Expand doubles unpaired newlines (i.e., adds a blank
line). Useful for making the paragraphs clearer in some
book style text files.

F3(recorder) / On-Right(player): toggles View mode
between Narrow and Wide:
. Narrow sets maximum column to the screen width.
. Wide sets maximum column to 940. Useful for
navigating large files.
(Currently, Wide and Join cannot be selected together.)

On-F1 (recorder only): toggles Page mode between
Normal and Overlap:
. Normal sets page-down/page-up to one full screen.
. Overlap tells page-down/page-up to retain one line from
previous screen.

On-F3 (recorder only): toggles Scrollbar mode, for the
current View mode.
. Narrow mode has no scrollbar by default, until toggled.
. Wide mode has a scrollbar by default, until toggled.
. If file fits on one screen, there is no scrollbar and On-
F3 has no effect.

Settings are sticky until power-down.

Compatability

---

Correctly reads plain text files in unix, Win/DOS, or
Macintosh format. Latin-alphabet Unicode files are a l
m o s t r e a d a b l e .
Currently prefers fixed-width fonts. With proportional
fonts, pretends all characters are the width of a lower-
case ‘o’.
Currently messages are in English [please help with
translations!] Does not currently support right-to-left
languages.
