(so there) AVViEW '96°° AVViEW '96 (Oz'96 version) is the most up-to-date ANSi viewer this side of the equator. For this special occasion, most of the viewer has been rewritten, as well as the frontend and MCGA palette manipulation techniques. If you discover any bugs please email me (Digital Vampire) on one of AV's dist sites (in Victoria only! :( ) Bug reports such as "It crashes sometimes" are totally useless! If you find a bug, please tell me how it can be recreated and any suggestions for fixing it, if any! AVViEW now uses XMS memory to handle all files. It will not run without it. To load it, load HiMEM.SYS in your CONFiG.SYS, and it should work. The reason for using this is so you can load ANSi files as long as your arm, or longer! For example, with 8Mb memory, no EMM386 installed, and HiMEM.SYS installed, an ANSi up to !45600! lines long can be loaded! (by comparison, ACiDViEW can load ANSi's up to 3,200 lines maximum...) The frontend for AVViEW'96 now uses pre-emptive multitasking for searching for ACiDSAUCE information. This means that in a very big directory, you can scroll around and load a file, while the CPU is still searching for SAUCE. The back- ground of the AVViEW logo at the top of the screen will light when the SAUCE is is being looked for. °° New in version 4.42 ------------------- * Bugfixes * New frontend & interface * iCE colour toggle (F4) * Smooth/Block Auto Viewing (F8) °°* Alphabetical directory listings (F9) * Some palette fixes for MCGA mode. °° * Graphic file support (GIF/PCX/LBM/BMP)  * Keypad controls (ACiDViEW style) in filefinder * Enter quits file * Palette calculated for each individual ANSi * REALLY BIG ANSi support * REALLY BIG BiN support°° * Panning at start scrapped. * New effect while panning to helpscreen. * Greyscaling in textmode * Startup screen :) * Pre-emptive multitasking frontend interface * Always detects SAUCE if present now.
