The author accepts NO responsibility for system damage or income lost during the use of this product. The product has been extensively tested and was virus free on the day of distribution. If you have downloaded this file from any public file base "Make sure you scan for viruses BEFORE running it". The files included in the original archive are: 1. Viewitf.exe Windows executable 2. View-It.hlp Windows help file 3. File_ID.diz BBS description file 4. View-it.txt text documentation The ARCHIVE can be freely distributed if ALL of the files are included. If you disagree with the policy as stated above then: "PLEASE, delete the files NOW". ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- PROGRAM OPERATION: 1> When the program loads all you have to do is select the file format you wish to view using the drop-down filters box (.ICO, .WMF, or .BMP). * When you exit the program the last format used is saved. 2> Select the drive and directory where the files reside. To change directories you must double click the directory name. * When you exit the program this info will be saved if "Last Dir." is checked in the Configuration Dialog. 3> When you enter a directory that contains the selected file format the files will be listed in the filebox on the right. 4> Either single click or use the Enter key to view a file. The file will appear in the preview window on the left. The filename will then appear on the title bar with the size of the graphic. A) If the graphic is larger than the preview window you will see a "hint" below the preview window. Click once on the image and the view will enlarge to a full screen view. Click once more and you will be returned to the dialogbox. B) If the graphic is not larger than the preview window a message box will appear telling you the image does not need enlargement. 5> The "About..." control will display the About Box. PROGRAM CONFIGURATION: - The button in the lower left corner allows the user to select the preferred dialog box and preview window border colors. Just click on the associated objects in the Configuration Dialog to cycle through the available colors. The colors are saved when you exit the program. - You will also be able to toggle Hints and Last Directory save. When "Last Dir." is checked the last directory used to view graphics will be saved. We hope this makes locating your graphics files a little easier. NOTE: When the "No Hints" checkbox is checked no hints will appear for the controls. But, when the checkbox is NOT checked, the preview window will only show a hint when an image is larger than the preview window. The hint for this control lets you know whether you can enlarge the image. For icons or small bitmaps this is not necessary. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Please, let us know what you think about the program, interface etc....
