It can be used to take quick looks at files without unsqueezing them or loading a large text editor, or to examine another file with the RUN command while in Wordstar. You can display the file in either direction, search for strings, or view only selected columns of the file. In function, it is identical to BISHOW Version 1.11 with two major additions the search function, and the ability to bishow a squeezed file. The program is written for Z80's only, and the addition of the unsqueezing routines has ballooned the program to just under 4K. The various commands for SCAN are: 1) Display the Next Page (Forward a Page) 2) Display the Previous Page (Back a Page) 3) Display the Next Line (Next Line) 4) Display the Previous Line (Back a Line) 5) Display the First Page (Top of File) 6) Display the Last Page (End of File) 7) Quit (End SCAN) 8) Set Screen Parameters 9) Search for a String of Characters Searching includes wild card characters, forward and backward search, and option to ignore upper/lower case. 10) Display Help As distributed, SCAN contains a small patch file (SCANPAT.ASM). This allow changing the various default parameters, as well as the commands and terminal characteristics. Look at this file for information about modifying SCAN. The distributed version of SCAN is configured for the standard command names and a "plain vanilla" CRT. This should work for most terminals. If you are interested in the program, please E-mail me a message. If there is enough interest, I will distribute it via net.sources, otherwise I'll E-mail it back to you. The normal distribution package includes SCAN.DOC, SCANPAT.ASM, AND SCAN.HEX. The sources is written in Zilog mnemonics and is not being distributed at this time. -- Ted H.
