xmore - README
--------------

OVERVIEW:
xmore was designed to display files within a x-window for a modern replacement
of xless or more.

Features:
- xmore recognizes serveral filetypes -
    .o,.a       : Displayed by using the nm command
    directories : will be show in the long-listing format by ls -l
    .z,.Z       : wether if they are sources, objects or any other kind of
                  file, they will be uncompress with zcat before proceeding
                  any further actions.
    .tar,.taz,
    .tpz        : Compressed or uncompressed tar-archive files. The contents
                  of these files will be shown with the tar -t command
    other files : Other files will be threated as normal ascii-files and
                will be shown wether if they are binaries or whatever.
  Further filetype filters will be implemented in future versions.
- Fileselection by using buttons in a pulldownmenu.
- Compressing and Uncompressing can be invoked by pulldownmenus
- Any editor can be invoked on clear-text files at this time
  (editing compressed files will be implemented soon)
- Files can be converted into LaTeX by using txt2tex.

Version 1.0 - adds:
- Extraction of tar-archives
- Adding new files with a browser-window or by selecting files from directories
- Optionaly displaying Linenumbers

TODO:
- Invoking the editor with compressed files
- neater display for groff-files (need a special converter without those
  special charcters (.1,.?,.man,.ms files))
- compressing, editing, etc. files from directories
- Examination of other files (.sl,.dvi,.ps,.gif,.jpg,.as,.s,.c++,.cc,...)
