    SHOW   List Browser for DOS       Ver. 1.4 (c) 2001, Horst Schaeffer
    --------------------------------------------------------------------

    SHOW is a small DOS viewer for ASCII text files. The program was
    primarily made for use in batch files, as it does not come with its
    own "Open" dialog and directory browser.

    Special features (see help for details):

    *   Return jump (after search, for example)
    *   Go from index to associated text section (double click)
    *   Open linked text files by double click, return (10 levels)


    Comnand:  SHOW <filename> [option]
              (LFN's are supported under Win9x or 2000)

    or:       with piped input (STDIN), e.g.:  DIR | SHOW


    Options to pre-select a line:

        /Ln          go line number n
        /S"string"   search "string"


    SHOW has a mouse interface for easy handling in a GUI window, but
    of course, SHOW will also run in full screen mode or plain DOS.
    Minimum requirements: 80386 and DOS 3.3; disk cache recommended.

    The DOS window (screen) is saved before SHOW starts, and restored
    when it terminates.

    SHOW will take advantage of a DOS window (screen) with more than
    25 lines.

    Maximum line size supported: 1,023 bytes. Max file size: 1Gb.

    Custom colors can be defined in SHOW.INI (see notes in this file).
    SHOW.IN2 is an alternative setup for the color palette of WBAT.
    To use it, swap with SHOW.INI.

    The file SHOW.INI is expected in the same directory with SHOW.COM.
    In case the INI file is not found, default colors are used according
    to the original SHOW.INI.

    A brief help is provided through the "?" button (or F1 key).
    The name (and path) of the help file is defined in SHOW.INI.


    Installation:

    Copy the files SHOW.COM, SHOW.INI and SHOW.HLP to a directory that
    is accessed by your PATH assignment. SHOW.HLP may be stored anywhere
    if you adjust the INI file.
