!ProFiler/Dox/ViewFile
This website contains an archive of files for the Acorn Electron, BBC Micro, Acorn Archimedes, Commodore 16 and Commodore 64 computers, which Dominic Ford has rescued from his private collection of floppy disks and cassettes.
Some of these files were originally commercial releases in the 1980s and 1990s, but they are now widely available online. I assume that copyright over them is no longer being asserted. If you own the copyright and would like files to be removed, please contact me.

File contents
<html><head><title>Local viewer file</title></head> <body> <h1><center><u>Local choices file</u></center></h1> <p>This hidden file (usually called '�View�') is stored in a directory, and controls how the viewer looks when opened. <p>The type of the file (currently &050 or &051) also means something. Normal 'ViewDef' files affect only the directory they are stored in. 'HyperDef' files affect the directory, and also all subsequent subdirectories, i.e. the whole tree. <p>The contents of a HyperDef/ViewDef file will override a HyperDef file further up the tree. <p>The general rule is that any data in the file will override the default viewer style. The file consists of series of a 1-byte type followed by a number of data bytes. <pre> Type Data bytes Meaning ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 0 1 File does not conform to this format 1 1 Style 0=Large 1=Small 2=Full info 2 1 Sort 0=Name 1=Type 2=Size 3=Date 3 1 Switches bit0=Hide hidden bit1=Show stats bit2=Don't boot 4 1 Window background (255=tiled) 5 1 Access buttons present 6-31 1 *reserved* 32 2 Min X 33 2 Min Y 34 2 Max X 35 2 Max Y 36 2 Max width of SC sprites 37-63 2 *reserved* 64 4 Icon normal flags 65 4 Icon select flags 66 4 Full info selected column sequence 67-127 4 *reserved* 128 24 Large icon placement 129 24 Small icon placement 130 24 Full info icon placement 131-255 ? *reserved*, ignore rest of file </pre>
