    ^1SpeedView^0 is a very fast text viewer which also allows the scanning of any
 other type of file! Pressing the <?> or <F1> keys at any time during the
 program will display a help screen listing other commands which are available
 at that time. Pressing any other key will return you to the current screen.

    SpeedView has two display modes: text and hex. The text mode will display
 text in the usual manner, and the hex mode will display your file as hex bytes
 in a format similar to DEBUG. You can switch between these two modes by
 pressing <D>.

    Movement through a file is accomplished quite easily with use of the
 following keys:


            KEYS                     MOVEMENT

     UP- and DOWN-ARROW   Move display up or down 1 line
  LEFT- and RIGHT-ARROW   Move left or right 10 characters in text mode
                 <HOME>   Go to start of file
                  <END>   Go to end of file
                 <PgUp>   Go back one screen
                 <PgDn>   Go forward one screen


    Other special keys which you may use:

               KEYS                ACTION

               <D>    Switch between text and hex display modes
               <S>    Search for a string of text in text mode,
                      or a list of up to ten bytes in hex mode
               <R>    Turn on/off the ruler in text mode
               <P>    Print the entire file
             <ESC>    Abort printing of file
       <F1> or <?>    View help screen
              <F2>    Switch between normal and fast input modes
              <F3>    Cycle through the viewing area's foreground colors
              <F4>    Cycle through the viewing area's background colors
              <F5>    Cycle through the border's foreground colors
              <F6>    Cycle through the border's background colors
               <Q>    Quit program and exit to DOS
             <ESC>    View next file. If none, quit to DOS.


    To activate SpeedView, you must type:

                    SV [<filename.ext> <filename.ext> ...]

    Filenames may contain the wildcard characters "?" and "*". When you have
 finished viewing a file you have specified as "*.DOC", for example, pressing
 <ESC> will cause SpeedView to load in the next file it finds with the .DOC
 extension.

    You may also specify more than one file to view. If, for example, you type
 "SV GAME.DOC PROGRAM.PAS", SpeedView will first allow you to view the GAME.DOC
 file, then the PROGRAM.PAS file after pressing <ESC>. If you type "SV *.DOC
 *.PAS *.ASM", SpeedView will let you cycle through all the .DOC files with the
 <ESC> key, then the .PAS files, then through the .ASM files!

    You may omit any filename parameters, but upon execution, SpeedView will
 prompt you for a filename in which you may use wildcards if you so desire.

    The fast input mode will allow you to scroll through text as fast as your
 computer can handle it. The <F2> key toggles between fast and normal input
 modes.

    To run SpeedView outside ^1Big Blue Disk^0, type: ^1SV^0.
