Short:        V0.76: Freeware textviewer
Author:       chris@prophecynews.co.uk (Chris Perver)
Uploader:     chris prophecynews co uk (Chris Perver)
Type:         text/show
Version:      0.76
Replaces:     text/show/EvenMore.lha
Requires:     Kickstart 39+, reqtools.library 37+ included
Architecture: m68k-amigaos >= 3.0.0

The Amiga operating system is well designed, but for some reason it has
always lacked a decent textviewer. Commodore developed the More tool for reading
plain text, and Amiga Guide and MultiView offered more enhanced features,
including datatype recognition and such like. I wanted a textviewer which would
look good and blend in with all my other Workbench patches. I started developing
EvenMore in 1996 as a hobby. It started off fairly basic as textviewers go, but
now EvenMore offers functions such as proportional font support, multi-coloured
text, file conversion plugins, and more. EvenMore is entirely programmed in
AmigaE/ECX, which is an excellent programming language developed by Wouter van
Oortmerssen and Leif Salomonsson.

 Here are its main features
 --------------------------

 o Plugin system for viewing many different file types, such as AmigaGuide,
   HTML, WordWorth, MSWord, RTF, directories, etc.
 o Supports ANSI escape code sequences for text formatting, including full
   colour text for certain file types
 o Links are clickable in HTML, AmigaGuide, directories and other file types
 o Drag and drop files on the window to open them
 o ARexx port for remote control
 o Search function
 o Configurable menus for frequently used documents
 o Clipboard support
 o Locale support

 and more...

 Here are the recent changes
 ---------------------------

 o Fixed bug which broke scrolling in large files over 65,000 lines in length.
 o Reworked scrolling routine so vertical and horizontal scrolling or refreshing
   the entire window is handled by the one function.
 o Fixed a bug in the horizontal scrolling when right to left text was enabled.
 o Text area background now set to MUII_BACKGROUND instead of MUII_TEXTBACK.
 o Fixed a couple of bugs in the MUI ARexx port. Was not returning result strings
   for commands, and commands passed to the port that required no arguments were
   not being picked up.
 o Keyboard shortcuts in the Project menu are now accessed using the RAMIGA key.
 o Fixed application preferences GUI layout so the window is sizeable.
 o Removed progress bar calculating routines so file loading and parsing should
   be faster.
 o Optimized line rendering by storing standard pen colours in global variables.
 o Rearranged interface so it is more like a web browser. May eventually
   reimplement icon gadgets.
 o PROGDIR: assign will work again from the quickload menu.
 o Sped up memory allocation a little by joining the MEMF_CLEAR and MEMF_PUBLIC
   tags in one constant variable.
 o Right to left text highlighting was broken.
 o Now uses ScrollRaster() function instead of ClipBlit() for scrolling window
   contents. ClipBlit was faster on AmigaOS 3, but did not work whenever a
   window was moved out of the screen on MorphOS.
 o The IDCMP_VANILLAKEY event was stopping the string gadgets on the MorphOS
   port from working. Changed code to use MapRawKey() instead. Thanks to the
   guys on MorphZone for their help with this.
 o Updated OpenURL library code for version 7.10. Hopefully this will allow
   the OpenURL function to work on MorphOS.

There are still a few things to be ironed out though. Please read the docs.

I cannot expect to be able to develop this program much further, as I am a
Christian and believe Jesus Christ will return very soon. If I do not reply to
any mail for months and months, then the development of this program has ceased.
