Atari Explorer Viewer
by Eric R. Goodman

       We must warn you that this is not feature-packed, state-of-the-art,
 top-of-the-line, golden disk award winning (well you get the idea) software.
 We felt that Explorer readers should not have to go into a Word Processor to
 read a magazine.  There usually is a Table of Contents in a magazine that
 has a page number.  Wouldn't it be great just to click on an article of
 interest and go right to it?  How about when you are done reading the article
 you can zip right back to the Table of Contents with a click.  Well, with
 this viewer you can experience this "Browsing Breakthrough."

 INSTRUCTIONS

       When you open AEO_VIEW.PRG the program will display a file selector.
 (NOTE: We recommend placing AEO_VIEW.PRG in the same directory as your
 Explorer files, as the program defaults to the current directory.)  After
 selecting the Explorer you wish to read you may notice the file's size at
 the bottom of the screen.  At this time the Explorer Viewer is scanning the
 file for all of its articles and at the same time creating a Table of
 Contents.  You will know when it has finished when the article selector bar
 appears at the top of the screen hilighting the first article.

 Selecting an article

        Use the mouse or arrow keys to select your article.  When you have
 selected press either the left mouse button or return to read the article.
 (ANOTHER NOTE: Depending on if you own a Hard Drive the search time may vary.
 However, it is quite fast.  The Explorer viewer takes very little memory to
 operate therefore it does NOT load the files into RAM.)  While you are at the
 Table of Contents you may press the RIGHT mouse button to quit.  You will be
 prompted.

 Reading an article

      When reading an article the following options are available:

        Right mouse button = Return to the Table of Contents.
        Left mouse button  = Scroll text down.
        Space Bar          = Scroll text down.
        Escape             = Exit Explorer Viewer.  You will be prompted.
        Help/Undo          = Toggle colors.
        Mouse Up           = Scroll text up.
        Up Arrow           = Scroll text up.

 THAT'S IT!

        That's really all there is to it.  If there is support (all I need is
 a reply @ GEnie to E.GOODMAN1) we will expand the program to include:
 TT rez support.  Text in windows.  Toggle if file is to be viewed from disk
 or RAM.  Print individual articles, etc...
