+view5

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
EDIT xyz abc Allows you to look at a file called xyz which is too big to
read into the memory. A chunk will be read in, look at it, change it about

MORE This will save the chunk you have just seen together with and changes
as abc and read in another chunk.

FINISH This will save as abc the chunk currently in View together with
previously saved chunks and any remaining portion of xyz which has not
already been edited. You are then left with xyz, your original file and
abc which you have partially edited.

QUIT This does the save as FINISH except the remaining portion of xyz
which was not yet seen is not saved. 

The interesting thing about EDIT is that the original file remains
untouched. Also as each chunk is read in you can SAVE it with say Chunk1,
Chunk2 ect. so you will be left with a number of managable file which you
can load normally.

MODE change screen mode. 

FORMAT Format the whole file in View to the standard set by the ruler. If
that's what you really want!!

PRINTER Load a printer driver.

COUNT A partially accurate word count. You can set markers and this will
count the words between the markers.

CLEAR This will clear any markers which have been set.

NEW This will clear any text in memory.

SETUP is a useful command setup view before you start.
SETUP F will turn on formatting
SETUP K will turn on justification
SETUP W will turn on insert mode.
Normally formatting and justification are on and insert is off. Typing say
SETUP F will turn on formatting abd turn off justification and insert
which is how I set up my word processor.

What I have written so far should be enough to effectivly use VIEW. I have
missed out a few commands either because I have never been inclined to
learn how to use them or because they seem rather pointless.

I have a View disc which I only use for view. There is a !BOOT file on it
which sets up the disc an view. This is it.

*FX202,48               Turn off the CAPs lock
MODE3                   Set the screen mode
*WORD                   Turn on VIEW
*DIR let6               Change directory
SETUP F                 Turn on formatting turn off justification
*.                      Catalogues the directory


I also have some files which have the header for my letters already made
up. I can load one of these and start typing. 

One other use for View which may not seem obvious at first is helping with
editing a BASIC program.

Save your BASIC program <prog1>

*SPOOL prog2 <RET>

LIST <RET>

*SPOOL <RET>

*WORD <RET>

LOAD prog2 <RET>

Now you can use the SEARCH and CHANGE utilities in View to alter variable
names, check values and other things besides.

When you have finished save it as <prog3>

Re-enter BASIC and type *EXEC prog3 <RET> and your program will be loaded
as BASIC and listed.
