The Amiga operating system is well designed, but for some reason it has
always lacked a decent textviewer. Commodore developed the More tool for reading
plain text, and Amiga Guide and MultiView offered more enhanced features,
including datatype recognition and such like. I wanted a textviewer which would
look good and blend in with all my other Workbench patches. I started developing
EvenMore in 1996 as a hobby. It started off fairly basic as textviewers go, but
now EvenMore offers functions such as proportional font support, multi-coloured
text, file conversion plugins, and more. EvenMore is entirely programmed in
AmigaE/ECX, which is an excellent programming language developed by Wouter van
Oortmerssen and Leif Salomonsson.

 Here are its main features
 --------------------------

 o Plugin system for viewing many different file types, such as AmigaGuide,
   HTML, WordWorth, MSWord, RTF, directories, etc.
 o Supports ANSI escape code sequences for text formatting, including full
   colour text for certain file types.
 o Extended set of ANSI escape code sequences for additional font styles.
 o True colour text rendering on systems with graphics cards.
 o Wordwrapping feature that works on proportional fonts.
 o Links are clickable in HTML, AmigaGuide, directories and other file types
 o Drag and drop files on the window to open them.
 o ARexx port for remote control.
 o Search function.
 o Configurable menus for frequently used documents.
 o Clipboard support.
 o Locale support.
 o Unlimited bookmarking system.

 and more...

 Here are the recent changes
 ---------------------------

 o Fixed AbiWord XML coloured text styles.
 o Optimised HTML/XML plugin a little.
 o Tidied up linewrapping. It doesn't work quite correctly on text that has
   escape code sequences in it yet.
 o Samir Hawamdeh has very kindly updated the Italian catalog.
 o The final line list is now constructed using pointers to the linked list of
   data line objects, rather than copying the actual line objects themselves.
   This should save memory and speed up wrapping a lot.
 o Fixed mousewheel scroll on AmigaOS 4 non-classic edition. Thanks to Samir
   Hawamdeh for testing.
 o Added devices list button to MorphOS edition so it is more like MorphOS.
 o Added Home, End, Page Up and Page Down mapping for PC keyboards.
 o Generic2Text preference plugin gadget address was being overwritten when the
   preference file was being loaded.
 o The function to match the plugin preferences was unnecessarily scanning
   through all the plugins instead of stopping when it found a match.
 o Changed the way the libraries are opened on the preference plugins.
   This may have been causing an enforcer hit.

There are still a few things to be ironed out though. Please read the docs.
Updates available at www.evenmore.co.uk

I cannot expect to be able to develop this program much further, as I am a
Christian and believe Jesus Christ will return very soon. If I do not reply to
any mail for months and months, then the development of this program has ceased.
