Author:       chris@prophecynews.co.uk (Chris Perver)
Type:         text/show
Requires:     Kickstart 39+, reqtools.library 37+ included
Architecture: m68k-amigaos >= 3.0.0
Version:      0.74
Replaces:     text/show/EvenMore.lha

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 User-definable filetypes plugin that can pass files based on extension to
   external programs
 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 Completely font-sensitive user interface
 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, and history menu for
   moving between opened files
 o XPK loading and saving supported, with PowerPacker supported through
   plugins
 o Customisable graphic user interface
 o Clipboard support
 o Locale support

 and more...

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

 EvenMore will be developed using Leif Salomonsson's ECX compiler from now on.
 This will enable me to produce a MorphOS native version, and possibly even an
 AmigaOS 4 version.

 o Replaced assembler RawDoFmt() code for generating the information bar text
   with ECX StringF() command, so that it will compile for MorhpOS.
 o Removed most of the references to AmigaE modules that did not have ECX
   equivalents, so it will compile better on MorphOS.
 o Disabled iconify gadget in MorphOS version. This had the wrong imagery for
   MorphOS, as MorphOS's images are controlled by MUI and not the system. May be
   reimplimented if I manage to create an MUI interface for EvenMore. Also
   disabled OpenURL in MorphOS as I do not have the correct modules for ECX to
   compile these.
 o Word wrapping plugin was not displaying the remainder of text from a line
   after the wrapped lines had been printed.
 o If you changed from a borderless window to a window with scroll bars, the
   borderless window gadgets weren't freed correctly.
 o Plugins wouldn't launch properly if there was a space in the name of the
   volume if the disk, e.g. "Ram Disk:".
 o Was calling exception handler from exception requester code, which generated
   an endless loop.
 o Will handle opening an empty file.
 o Wordwrapping plugin would seek on past the end of a file if it did not end
   in a linefeed.

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.
