VIEWING FILES

     For the sake of convenience the CP shell is equipped with a view
feature. The viewing program has the following options:

     VIEWING ASCII FILES
     VIEWING ARCHIVES
     VIEWING GRAPHICS DATA FILES
     VIEWING DATABASES
     VIEWING EXE AND COM FILES


     To invoke the programm press thr keys [F3] or [Shift-F3].  (See
sections "View" and "View named"). The specified ("named") file will be
viewed in ASCII-format regardless of its extension.

     The CP distribution diskette contains the applications ARCHVIEW.COM,
BASEVIEW.COM, GRAFVIEW.COM and EXEVIEW.COM needed to view archives, data
bases, graphic images and executable files. To view specific files using
these programs the CP directory must contain the file CPVIEW.EXT. This
particular file must be written by the user. See Chapter "Extension Files"
on how to write extension files.
