Short: Viewer using Arexx and Datatypes Author: Patrice ROUX Uploader: david ensinfo univ-nantes fr Type: util/sys Version: 1.0 Architecture: m68k-amigaos OS 3.+ integrates a very interesting feature with the datatypes.library : the ability to recognize every type of file and view it using Multiview. Therefore, Multiview has many defaults : - you can't multiselect files - it isn't very optimized for larges files - it works bad with graphics cards and there are a lot of viewer that are more specific for a filetype, or for graphics cards ... So RexxShow is here to solve all theses problems : You can conserve all the functions of the datatypes.library for the recognition of filetypes plus the power of optimized viewers for every filetype or for your graphics card OS 2.+ hasn't the functions of the datatypes.library so for theses uesrs I have integrated a modified script that uses whatis.library for filetypes recognition. ============================= Archive contents ============================= Original Packed Ratio Date Time Name -------- ------- ----- --------- -------- ------------- 45384 29832 34.2% 12-Jun-96 18:26:44 RexxShow/Libs/reqtools.library 11664 6534 43.9% 14-Aug-95 15:14:54 RexxShow/Libs/rexxreqtools.library 49796 26771 46.2% 12-Apr-96 15:09:02 RexxShow/Libs/rexxtricks.library 12180 6248 48.7% 05-Apr-94 14:10:30 RexxShow/Libs/whatis.library 1192 553 53.6% 15-Nov-96 23:00:54 RexxShow/OS2.+.info 1146 487 57.5% 15-Nov-96 09:28:18 RexxShow/OS2.+/RexxShow 1600 1246 22.1% 22-Sep-96 16:48:16 RexxShow/OS2.+/RexxShow.info 1192 553 53.6% 15-Nov-96 23:00:54 RexxShow/OS3.+.info 1199 529 55.8% 15-Nov-96 09:28:32 RexxShow/OS3.+/RexxShow1 1600 1246 22.1% 22-Sep-96 16:48:20 RexxShow/OS3.+/RexxShow1.info 1251 562 55.0% 15-Nov-96 09:28:40 RexxShow/OS3.+/RexxShow2 1600 1246 22.1% 22-Sep-96 16:48:20 RexxShow/OS3.+/RexxShow2.info 6948 2458 64.6% 15-Nov-96 10:07:28 RexxShow/RexxShow.guide 1816 1069 41.1% 15-Nov-96 23:00:54 RexxShow/RexxShow.guide.info 9122 2907 68.1% 05-Apr-94 14:09:58 RexxShow/S/FileTypes 4019 1072 73.3% 05-Apr-94 14:28:44 RexxShow/S/FileTypes.info -------- ------- ----- --------- -------- 151709 83313 45.0% 15-Nov-96 23:01:16 16 files
