�������������������������������������� � TinyView (TV) Doc File - Version 1.0 � ��������������������������������������; Welcome to TinyView (called TV from here on)! This program is the best text file viewer your ever going to see. It's tiny (958 bytes), it can view ANY size text file, it displays lines up to 1024 characters wide, and it uses all 25 lines of your display. How does TV do all of this? Through the magic of assembler. This program is written in 100% pure assembly language for the smallest, fastest program possible. When you want to view a file you type: TV filename.ext
(Paths and drive letters are fully supported)
���������������Ŀ � HOW TO USE TV � ����������������� After TV loads your file you will be presented with a FULL screen of data WITHOUT any kind of status line to clutter up your display. How do you go up and down through the file you ask? You use the keys that would make the most sense, of course! The keys that TV uses are: PgUp PgDn Home End # # -> <ESC

Go up 1 page Go down 1 page Go to the top of the file Go to the end of the file Move up one line Move down one line Move screen right 10 columns Move screen back to left margin Quit TV and exit to DOS
����������������Ŀ � HIDDEN GOODIES � ������������������ Just because TV is small doesn't mean it's not potent. (Have any of you ladies heard a guy say that lately?). TV filters and properly displays ALL 256 characters from the IBM character set. Who cares you say? You would if TV didn't do that. You see, some of the IBM character set can produce "strange" results if your viewer doesn't properly handle the character. Try using TV on a file that contains the ASCII character number 9 (TAB), 10 (line feed), or a 12 (form feed) and see what happens. Now, use your file viewer and see what happens. That's when you'll really appreciate the "hidden goodies" of TV! �������������Ŀ � FINAL NOTES � ��������������� One final note: TV is to be considered a Public Domain program. What does that mean? It means that you can freely give this program to anyone who wants a copy. As a matter of fact I encourage you to give this program to everyone, whether or not they want it (grin)! The only stipulation to this offer is this: you must include the file TV.DOC with evey copy of TV.COM that you give away. Not too tough, huh?
So use it, give it away, and enjoy it! (Hey, I'm talking about my program - Get your mind out of the gutter!!)
