Short: Fast ascii viewer, last release, source included. Author: Martin Blom (lcs@lysator.liu.se) Uploader: Martin Blom (lcs lysator liu se) Type: text/show Architecture: m68k-amigaos TITLE Textread VERSION 1.14 (last release) AUTHOR Martin Blom DESCRIPTION Textread is a more/ppmore/... clone. The main difference is the speed. Textread is designed to be as fast as possible, yet system friendly. Some of the features are: o Speed o Support for XPK and PowerPacker o Multibuffer o Multi settings o Softscroll (well it sucks, really) o RTG compatible o Can use any fixed-width font system-friendly o Can use any 8×8 pixel font on Amiga bitplanes with very fast text routines o Supports pipes Just download it and have a look. 1996-07-06 ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ This release is called 1.14, but it is not finished. Because I have failed - big time - to release new upgrades, I have decided to release the source code in the hope that somebody is willing to take over Textread. I still consider this program to be very good, I use it every day myself. Sure, some things are lacking, but the fact is that it has everything I need. That, and the fact that it is written completly in assembler, are the reasons why I don't have any motivation to continue to improve it. So instead of letting more time pass, my hope is that somebody out there can clean up the source, fix the bugs and release a new version. Or perhaps just keep the good parts and begin from scratch (may I suggest another language than assembler?). SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS AmigaOS release 2.
