                            What's New In
                              HyperView
                             Version 3.4

This file begins with the most recent changes to HyperView and works
back.

3.4
The following enhancements were added to the PM edition:
  Support for viewing OS/2 .INF and .HLP files (converted to text).
  Configurable colors (See the Color Settings item in the Options
    menu).
  Auto-recognition of self-extracting ZIP files.

3.3
The following enhancements were added to the PM edition:
  Added support for HTML (World Wide Web) files. The HTML conversion
    goes beyond simply removing HTML tags.  Basic formatting
    instructions are observed.  All extraneous line end characters and
    spaces are removed, so that text flows naturally as if it were
    from a word processing document.  Alternative text is extracted
    from image tags.  All special characters are converted to their
    ASCII counterparts in keeping with the current code page.
    Preformatted text is preserved.  HTML files may be dragged
    directly from the Web Explorer to a HyperView window.
  Type CTRL+DOWN and CTRL+UP from the main text window to move the
    cursor to the next or previous tagged line.
  Adjustable tab settings.  (See the new Right margin/Layout menu item
    in the View menu or type 'R'.)
  Improved international support for rendering of accented characters
    in Windows/DOS word processing files.  Accented characters are
    properly mapped to the user's code page.
  Detect new variant of Word6 file format.

The following enhancements were added to the text mode edition:
  Fixed bug when reading extremely large directories.

3.2
The following enhancements were added to the PM edition:
  Option for enhanced integration with file manager programs.  Use the
    /K startup option to make HVPM function like an extension of your
    file manager.  Details in on-line help.
  Drag and drop enabled.  To open a new file, drag it to an open
    HyperView window and drop.
  Enhanced gather.  Use the mouse, to gather words and phrases.
  Customizable cursor keys. (Options menu / Preferences)
  Separate PM executables for OS/2 Warp and above and for OS/2 2.1x.
  Improved reminders during evaluation period.
3.1
The following enhancements were added to the PM edition:
  Added popup menus (Right click or SHIFT+F10).
  Paragraph spacing option for word processing files (View menu).
  Option to format gathered text with expanded tabs and hard returns
    (Edit menu).
  Hex view (View menu or type 'H').
  CTRL+F3 exits program without confirmation.
  New startup option (/E): Press Escape from main window to exit.
  Instructions for printing.  See HVPRINT.DOC.
  Even faster startup and operation.
  Miscellaneous bug fixes.
The following enhancements were added to the text mode edition:
  New startup option (/E): Press Escape from main window to exit.
  New startup option (/I): Disable high intensity background colors.
  Escape from directory exits program if no file loaded.

3.0
HyperView is now a Presentation Manager (PM) application.  Both the PM
  and text mode editions of HyperView are included with this package.
There is no charge for users of the text mode version to upgrade to
  the PM version.  Registered users of earlier versions will, however,
  require a new registration number.
Minor bug fixes to the text mode version.

2.2
Added support for Clearlook - The Cellular Word Processor.
Added the '=' key (in addition to '+') for follow-up searches in the
  forward direction.
Fixed the display of zeros in hex view.
Fixed bug reading the contents of certain large ZIP archives.
A fast saved WinWord 6 document is now treated as an unrecognized word
  processing format.

2.1:
Added hex viewer.  Press 'H' to switch to hex view; press 'H', Esc, or
  Enter to return to text view.  While in hex view you may initiate
  searches and jump to any file offset.
To load a file raw (i.e. to defeat auto-recognition of word processing
  and zip files), press F12 from the file or zip directory view, or
  use the '/R' startup option.  The '/R' startup option now applies
  only to the first file.  Use F12 to load subsequent files raw.
Directory listings (both file and zip listings) may be sorted.  Press
  F6 from the directory view.
Added ability to read from standard input, e.g. DIR | HV.
Added word wrap toggle.  The state of word wrap is maintained
  separately for ASCII and word processing files.  Thus you may have
  word wrap enabled for one and disabled for the other.
To accommodate wide screen displays, HyperView now defaults to a right
  margin equal to the screen width for ASCII files, and screen width
  minus 5 for word processing files.  Separate right margin settings
  are maintained for ASCII and word processing files.

2.0:
Added support for viewing ZIP files.  HyperView works in tandem with
  Info-ZIP's UNZIP.EXE to view compressed files directly, without
  making a copy on your hard drive.  Compressed files with long file
  names and names with spaces may be viewed even on non-HPFS drives.
  Encrypted archives are also supported (you supply the password).
Changed operation of the Escape key.  Instead of Escape, F3 is used to
  exit the program with confirmation.  Escape now backs up from full
  screen view to directory.
Added support for viewing special characters in DeScribe files.
HyperView can now be registered by credit card through BMT Micro.  See
  BMT.FRM for details.

1.04a:
Fixes a subtle bug that occurred when performing (a) a search and tag
  operation, (b) for a phrase, (c) in the forward direction, and
  (d) an occurrence of the phrase in the text spanned more than one
  line.

1.04:
Searches are even faster than before.  The increased speed will be
  most noticeable on larger files and slower machines.
Gather operations (similar to blocking text in a word processor) may
  be initiated by holding down the shift key and pressing one of the
  cursor keys (Up, Down, PgUp, PgDn, Home or End).
Gathered text and tagged lines may be copied (overwriting the previous
  contents) or appended (added to the end of the previous contents) to
  the OS/2 clipboard or to a file.  Follow the on-screen instructions.
Pressing the backslash key (\) takes you directly to the directory of
  the current file, positioning the cursor bar on the current file.
Added scroll bar to full screen view.  When the right margin setting
  is less then the number of columns in the current video mode, a
  conventional scroll bar is used.  When the right margin setting is
  greater than or equal to the number of columns in the current video
  mode, HyperView uses a virtual scroll bar.
Ctrl-Right and Ctrl-Left scroll the screen right or left 5 columns.
When the screen has been scrolled right, the home key returns the
  screen to the far left.
Exit HyperView from directory listing by pressing Alt-F4 or Alt-X.
Warning added when attempting a clipboard operation that exceeds 64K
  of text. (This is not a limitation of HyperView.  The OS/2 text
  clipboard is limited to 64K of text.)
Fixed disappearing cursor when HyperView is called from shell program.

1.03:
Added interface with OS/2 clipboard.  Gathered text and tagged lines
  may now be copied to the clipboard.  To enable the clipboard
  feature, the file HVAUX.EXE must be installed in the same directory
  as HV.EXE.
Available commands no longer depend on the active view.  For example,
  searches may now be initiated while in condensed or split screen
  view.
Easier to navigate directories.  Backspace moves to parent directory.
  In addition, after changing to the parent directory, the cursor will
  point to the former parent rather than moving to the top.
Revised default color scheme. (Configurable colors are coming in a
  forthcoming release.)
Revised help screen in anticipation of adding pull-down menus to a
  forthcoming release.
Accelerated process of listing tagged lines to file.
HyperView can now be run when OS/2 is booted from a floppy disk.
Added table recognition to Ami Pro conversion.
Nomenclature change: what used to be referred to as "marked lines" are
  now called "tagged lines".  Same principle, new name.
Fixed bug when display is set for 132 columns

1.02:
Added file size, date and time to directory listing.
Added capability to view a file in a new HyperView session.  Highlight
  the file you wish to view in the directory listing, then press
  Ctrl-Enter (or F9) to start (spawn) a new session.
Added name of file being viewed to window task list.
Added new command line option to set the number of lines of text on
  screen.  The option takes the form "/Lnn", where nn is a number
  between 25 and 60.
Added new command line option to specify directory and/or file mask
  for opening directory listing.  Instead of typing a file name on the
  command line, type a path.
Isolated carriage return character (ASCII 13) now treated as valid end
  of line character.
Revised prompt strategy for Gather and List dialogs.
Corrected potential bug when reading directory from LAN drive.

1.01:

Added Files view.  The Files view permits you to pick a file from a
  directory listing.  The directory listing may also be used to
  navigate through the file system.  The Files directory listing is
  automatically invoked if a file is not specified at startup.  See
  README.DOC and HV.DOC for additional details.

Added option to clear screen on exit from HyperView.  Press Alt-X.

1.00:

Initial release.
