======================================= V - The Win32 File Viewer (version 1.0) ======================================= V is a combination File Viewer and Directory Browser for Windows 95 and Windows NT (Intel platform only). Some of V's main features include: - It is fast and compact. - It can view files of unlimited size. - It excels at viewing files in hex format. You can search for a sequence of hex bytes rather than just a text string. - It can be used to view the redirected output of another program/command. - Line numbers can be displayed/printed. - It has an easy to use interface which takes full advantage of keyboard shortcuts and right-click menus. There is no "File Open Dialog Box" in sight! - It has extensive printing support. Headers/Footers can be customized and the listing can be printed with or without line numbers. Files can also be printed in 2UP Mode - ie, the file is printed in landscape mode with 2 pages per sheet of paper. Just type "V" and see for yourself! ============ Installation ============ The archive should contain the following files: File Name Size (bytes) Description --------- ------------ ----------- v.exe 241,152 The program! dlls.zip 588,194 Required DLLs - MFC42.DLL and MSVCRT.DLL file_id.diz 651 Brief program description readme.txt 3,508 This file Simply copy the file V.EXE to a directory in your path. You also require Microsoft's version 4.2 runtime DLLs - MFC42.DLL and MSVCRT.DLL which are included in the file DLLS.ZIP. The chances are that your system already has these files installed. Just type "V" to run the program and see if you get any error messages. If you do, you will need to unzip the DLLs and copy them into your Windows system directory (usually \windows\system if you are running Windows 95 and \winnt\system32 if you are running Windows NT). All other files in this archive may be safely deleted. A Help File will be made available in the future which will have to be copied to the same directory as V.EXE. Once you have done this, you can use V to install itself onto the Desktop and onto other system menus. ============ Registration ============ V is distributed as shareware. This means that you are entitled to evaluate it for a trial period without charge. In this case, the trial period is 60 days. If you find the software useful and use it past this trial period, you MUST register it. Upon registering V, you will be given a Registration Code. Registration information can be found at http://www.prineas.com/ ============ Distribution ============ V may be distributed freely provided that: 1. Such distribution is limited to the original distribution archive file. You may not alter, delete or add any files in the distribution archive. In particular, you may not change the name of the archive - that is, it MUST be vxx.zip (where xx is the version number) 2. The distribution does not include a registration code. 3. No money is charged to the person receiving the software, beyond reasonable cost of shipping and packaging. Thank you for evaluating V. I hope you find it a useful utility.
