Quick View v1.4 is for viewing text files

Quick View is a program developed for viewing text files. Although it
may usually suffice to "Show" a file from the ST's desktop, this does
not allow the file to be viewed randomly. Quick View allows a file to
be loaded into memory and viewed. The file can also be printed to the
printer. For example, Quick View can be used to flip through an issue
of ST Report or ZMAG ST. The handy "flip topic" feature allows you to
quickly scroll over some sections to reach the sections you wish to
read. Pressing the Tab key while viewing an ST Report will generate a
Table of Contents.
To use Quick View, double click on the file QVIEW.PRG. A dialog box
will appear, and the screen colors will change to white, black, red and
green (on a color monitor only!). Click on the "Load & View" button.
A file selector will appear, prompting you to pick a text file.
Once the file is loaded into memory, and verified to be a text file,
the "View" button will become enabled. When you click this button,
an 80 column, 24 line display will appear. Even if you booted in low
resolution, it will appear in 80 columns.
Press the Esc key to exit back to the main dialog box.
