If you load a binary file it will display it in sectors. Most of the same Quick Keys are also available in the sector view. BLOCKS Use the mouse or cursor keys to place the cursor where you want the block to start. Then press B or click the mouse in the top menu on Block. You can hit return or click on start to set the starting point for the block. Then locate the cursor where you want the block to end and press B again to select end of block. Pressing B or clicking on Block in the menu once a block has been set will allow you to Print/Hide the block. SEARCH Pressing S or clicking on Search in the menu will open a window where you can type up to 20 characters. Pressing [RETURN] will start the search from line 1 of the file. IF the file is found a bell will ring and the cursor will be at the start of the line containing the (search) at the bottom of the screen. Pressing N will look from the current line on down for the next match. When there are no more matches found you will hear a low pitch sound from the speaker. I have tryed to make allowances for most of the popular file formats. It does look at the files and try to display them in the style that is most suited for viewing. I made allowances for 3 of the most popular word proc. formats. These are WORD WRITER, FIRST WORD and STWRITER. If PHVIEW see's any of these formats it will give you the option of sorting them or displaying them as is. It waits about 15 seconds before it assumes the default. (Sorting) PHVIEW has been in use for only a short time, but I and the local gang have had no problems with compatability. It seems to get along with NEODESK but it has not been tested with DCDESKTOP. Maybe someone can leave me a note and let me know how it does with that. If any bugs are found feel free to leave me a msg on one of the following BBS's.
