Install Copy Reader.opa to the APP directory and install with -i. By default Reader looks for files with a .txt extension in the txt directory (off the root directory of any drive.) Quick Start Once Reader is installed you can copy any ASCII text file to the TXT directory. And its name should appear under Reader's icon (note: file name should end with the .txt extension for this to happen other wise use at the system screen and select your file that way.) Overview Reader is intended for the viewing of large text files that exceed the 40k limit of the Word app. Since only a small portion of the file is read at a time, things like paging backward and reformatting the current screen cause the text to "wander" a bit since all the internal buffers are set to display the next page. This is a bit disconcerting at first but hopefully will not cause any serious deterrent to using Reader. For best performance text files should have each line terminated with a carriage return or line feed (or both.) With a line length less then 255 bytes (it's hard to get around this in OPL.) Reader uses a special methodology for wrapping lines in the view window and tries very hard to maintain the original look and feel of the document in a smaller (or larger) window. It does so by making an intelligent decision on what to wrap and what to leave on a separate line, its not perfect but for me its better then all one way or the other. Please note my intentions are to add more features to Reader but I thought that many of you could use it in its present form. One use for Reader is the reading of electronic There are several "Electron Books" available on Compuserve in the Palmtop forum in library 17 (Miscellaneous.) And in keeping with the spirit of free information Reader is offered without charge. Options At this time Reader has only a few options. Up arrow Pages the text up approximately one page. -x Exit Reader and saves current position and settings (for that document.) This information is kept in a file with the same base name as the text you are reading but with the extension .RDR. Note: The RDR files are "Flash friendly" and consume just a small number of bytes on exit. - Toggles the status window on the left between full, small and none. -z (and --Z) Changes the font size. Note that ALL the system fonts (but the Psion 3 number font) are available not just the normal four in the standard apps. --X Exit Reader without updating the book mark file (RDR.) All other keys Page down the text. This is so no mater how you are holding the Psion you can easily page the document. Note: A small line is drawn at the bottom of screen to indicate the position within the file. With the far left being the beginning and the far right being the end.
