MYRDR Ver 1.00.04 - A simple text reader for the 3A
===================================================

Changes
-------

This version fixes a couple of bugs to do with files of certain
lengths when looking at the end of the file, and a "feature" in 
the help system.

The cursor right and left keys now scroll the window left/right.


Introduction
------------

I wrote MYRDR after trying to use various other similar utilities and
realising that I needed facilities that didn't seem to be available.

I am sure that MYRDR will not match all other users expectations but
it does what I want, and that's good enough for me :-)


Features
--------

    * Handles files of (almost) any length.

    * Saves the current file position when you open another file or
      when you exit the application.

    * Builds an internal table of file pointers allowing you to jump
      to specific lines, quickly.

    * Provides "search" and "search again" facilities.

    * PGUP/PGDN work as expected and "Space" and "Enter" have the
      same effect as PGDN.

    * Configurable TAB size (Default is 4 spaces).

    * You can disable the saving of the file status and line number
      tables (By default they are enabled).

    * You can select "Roman" or "Swiss" fonts as well as
      "Proportional" and "Mono-spaced" (Default is Mono-spaced
      Roman).

    * Zoom/UnZoom support '+' and '-' keys as well as the more normal
      "Psion-z" and "Psion-Z".

    * You can "purge" the all of the status files.


Installation
------------

Just copy MYRDR.APP to any /APP directory and install it with
Psion-i.


Futures
-------

These are in order of "most likely" to be added, but if there is
enough interest I may re-order or add to the list.

    * Add horizontal scrolling.

    * Wrap long lines.

    * Automatic re-formatting of paragraphs and justification.

    * User font files (rather than the inbuilt system fonts).

    * Support for machines other than the 3A.


Notes
-----

The first time you run the utility it will create a directory on "M:"
called "MYRDRIDX" in which the file status/configuration files will
be created.

When you open a file for the first time MYRDR scans the file and
builds a list of significant points in the file.

When you close the file this list, together with the users current
preferences for viewing this file, is saved to M:\MYRDRIDX as a file
of the same name but with .IDX as the extension.

An option is in the "special/configuration" menu list to purge these
files.

Further options allow you to specify what (if any) information is
saved.


Legal Matters
-------------

Please feel free to use this utility for personal purposes and
distribute it as you see fit, as long as you include this file with
it.

If you intend to use it commercially please have the good manners to
at least ask !

While I am happy to accept constructive criticism, requests for
further enhancements, and bug reports I accept NO responsibility for
problems that this utility may cause.

I have tested this utility as far as I can but in the end it is YOUR
responsibility to back up your system and pick up the pieces if
anything goes wrong !
