INTRODUCTION - - InfView is a good replacement for the info-stantalone program. The main -objetive of InfView is to give to the user a friendly and easy to learn tool -to browse the documentation found in info format. This format is used by the -FSF for all the major tools and of course is used by djgpp. - The old info program was designed as a flexible UNIX tool so it have some -features you won't find in InfView, as an example: InfView doesn't have -options to write a documentation chapter to the standard output so you can -capture it and display in other program. InfView was designed as an -interactive tool instead. - InfView uses overlapping windows (real windows, not "screens"), fully -supports mouse, have pull-down menues and pop-up windows, etc. As the name -says the emphasis is in the visual component. - Unless graphical implementations the program is relative small and quite -fast (263Kb installation for the first release, I know about one Win32 -implementation that needs over 5Mb and eats more than 5Mb of memory thanks to -the run time of some visual script language from Redmond that I won't name -here). - The main features of InfView are: - - * Free cursor movement with the keyboard arrows, page-up, etc. - * Mouse support. - * Highlighted cross references. - * Hide of the `*Note' and other confusing things of the info format. - * Previous, Next and Up node support. - * History support. - * Incremental search just typing the first letters of the cross - reference. - * The same for the whole nodes list. - * Support for compressed info files. - * Search in the current node, the whole file or all the files. - * Bookmarks. - * History of the last 40 nodes visited. - * Dialog to browse the files on disk. - * and more - - - -2. IMPORTANT: - - If you are a user of SETEdit you'll find this distribution very familiar -and in fact follows the same gidelines used in the editor's distribution. - Changes since 0.2.6 release: - -Additions: - The last important addition was the man pages viewer. - Now is possible to use File|Open Infview if no window is already opened. - Added a configuration dialog to set the code page used by the OS screen. - Internationalization, currently only spanish is fully soported. - -Fixes: - Now all options not available when no window is opened are grayed. - The "Shell" menu option wasn't functional. - - -3. REQUIREMENTS: - -* PC 386 compatible or superior computer. -* 2 Mb of memory or more. -* 2.4 Mb of free disk during installation and about 1.5 Mb once installed. -* DOS version 5.0 or posterior or any compatible OS (Win '95, Win 3.1, OS/2, -MS-DOS, etc.). The NT platform isn't fully supported, I don't have NT, if you -need support for NT send me a licensed copy of NT ;-). I did my best to -support it, but as I don't have one at home I can't do more. -* Linux with ELF support for the Linux version. For console use you need gpm -1.13, newer versions are incompatible. -* A VGA card. -* DJGPP users normally have it. - - - -4. INSTALL: - -A) Installing in DOS for djgpp users: - Uncompress the file over your djgpp installation in the same way you did - with the rest of packages. - -C) Installing in Linux: -1) Uncompress the files in /tmp and run ./INSTALL_LINUX. If you want to setup - the destination directory read the INSTALL_LINUX script. - Also: the script contains useful information about access rights needed - to run infview. -2) Be sure the directory where infview's binary file is located is included - in your PATH environment variable. - - - -5. LEGAL ISSUE: - - InfView is free software. It may be used or distributed in any manner -you wish, as long as you do not violate the GPL license. You can't remove -any copyrigth included in the files and you can't distribute it without any -of the original files. You will also distribute the sources if you distribute -the binaries. The GPL license is included in the package so read it before -distributing infview. - - InfView comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; excluding any and all implied -warranties, including warranties of merchantability and fitness for a -particular purpose. There is no warranty or representation, either express -or implied, with respect to this program, its quality, performance, -merchantability, or fitness for a particular purpose. The entire risk -of using this program is with you. There will be no liability for special, -incidental, or consequential damages arising out of or resulting from the use -or modification of this program. - - - -6. WHERE ARE THE SOURCES? - - Even when I'm distributing the standalone InfView I don't the time, -bandwidth, motivation, etc. to distribute yet another huge package of -sources. For this reason the sources are only available in the editor's -package (SETEdit). So download the editor's source. 90% of the code is shared -with the editor. - - - -7. DOWNLOAD: - - All the OSs: - Stable and beta releases, mailing list, cvs, etc.: - http://setedit.sourceforge.net/ - - DOS: (only stable releases) - Any Simtelnet mirror, example: - ftp://ftp.simtel.net/pub/simtelnet/gnu/djgpp/v2apps/inf*.zip - - Linux: - The Linux tarballs can be found in Source Forge. - - Debian GNU/Linux: (only stable releases) - A repository is maintained by Ivan in Source Forge. - To access the repository, just add the following line to your -/etc/apt/sources.list: - -deb http://setedit.sourceforge.net/debian woody main - - That's for the Woody version of Debian, you should substitute "woody" by the -name of your distribution or by the synonym "stable". - - Note that Ivan will upload stable editor releases. For betas look in the -Source Forge pages. - - - -8. MAILING LIST - - The editor's list is more than suitable to discuse things related to the -InfView program because it is part of the editor: - To subscribe visit: - http://lists.sourceforge.net/mailman/listinfo/setedit-users - I moved the old list at topica to Source Forge. - - - -9. DONATIONS: - - If you really like the info viewer you can send me anything as feedback. - If you want to send money I'll be happy, but if you don't have it and -want to show your gratitude you can send me a postal card from your city -or some of the things I collect (train tickets, cigarette envelopes and -boxes, stamps, old money and coins). - For more information about how to contact me see the select "Introduction" -chapter and then select "About the author" in the help on help. - - -SET |
