RELiCVu v. 2.55 100% of code by Greater Evil layout by Hunchback Monkey Support Design by Hunchback RELiC introduces a great new toy. Yes, just use RelicVu and you will be the envy of all your friends! Watch RelicVu as it gives you some coolio features like these that will amaze everyone: þ 6 different resolution modes, <= VGA. þ Scrollback and Ansimation in every video mode. þ On-the-fly SAUCE definition loading. þ Full path/filespec switching support. þ FAST RIPscript viewing þ BiN viewing at up to 510 columns wide þ Config loading. þ Monkey support Plus, it will take 20 years off of your age! Hardware requirements: For basic operation, RelicVu requires only an 8086 with an IBM compatible color display adapter. Several features, however, take advantage of newer hardware, and these are listed below: 320x200, 320 Wide video modes MCGA video 640x480, 640 Wide video modes VGA video iCEColor VGA video Grayscale VGA video RIP viewing EGA video BIN viewing (smooth panning) VGA video [New stuff in This Version 2.55] [Changes] þ Relicvu is now the ONLY viewer with monkey support. þ Relicvu now optionally uses SAUCE to check for 80x50 ansis. If enabled via relicvu.cfg (the default), Relicvu will check 'tinfo4'. If it's = 50 then Relicvu will switch to the 50 line equivalent of the particular video mode. þ Enter now aborts bins as well as esc. þ Ascii and grayscale now work their magic in binary files too. Now you can look at Hunchback's messages. :) þ Somewhat speed optimized SAUCE loading. þ Added iCEColor to Bin viewing. þ Added a cool little %done bar thing. [Bugfixes] þ Should do a better job of detecting EGA (for font loading). þ Got rid of snow in 320 mode ansimation. þ Fixed the bug where using '*.*' in addition to other masks would not show all the files in the directory. þ Changed 1 byte on the mask menu. Put the borders in the right places. þ Shouldn't read root directories as X:\\ now. There ya go tinyz. :) þ Because of an icecolor bug I rewrote my 320x200 parsing. The result is somewhat slower parsing and ansimation. Hopefully this won't be too noticable / annoying. Anyways, icecolor now properly works in 320x200. þ Fixed the 320x200 icecolor bug in Bin too. þ Fixed problems with linefeeds (0ah) sans carriage returns (0dh).. I dunno why they were that way. Perhaps some ansi drawer is messed up and doesn't properly re-translate text '\n's to 0d0ah. These ansis will most likely screw up with type. Anyways, my program is less correct now I guess, but, it works. :) -=- Command summary: F1 - Help - displays a brief summary of commands. F2 - Resolution - allows user to select display mode. These modes include: 80x25 text, scrollback, ansimation 80x50 text, scrollback, ansimation 320x200x256 MCGA, scrollback, ansimation 320 Wide MCGA, scrollback, ansimation 640x480x16 VGA, scrollback, ansimation 640 Wide VGA, scrollback, ansimation F3 - Path - allows user to change directories/filespec. The file list will be updated accordingly after returning to the interface. The default masks are specified in RELICVU.CFG. RELiCVu supports up to 4 masks. The fourth mask is specifiable via commandline; i.e., "RELICVU *.ANS" will load RELiCVu with the default masks and "*.ANS", overwriting the fourth mask if it exists. F4 - Autoscroll - determines whether RELiCVu will initially scroll through ansis or whether the user gets the priviledge. F5 - Ansimation mode - turns off scrollback and displays all ansimation sequences. RELiCVu does force ansimation in scrollback mode if the SAUCE ansimation flag is set. F6 - Select viewing speed. The speeds are as follows: ( okay, so the baud rates are definitely approximate. :) ) Presto (no delay), Allegro (14400 bps), Andante (9600 bps), Adagio (2400 bps), and Largo (1200 bps). F7 - Select color options. You have the following options: 1. Normal - Defaults to blink but loads iCEColor if the corresponding flag in SAUCE is set. 2. iCEColor - Forces iCEColor (non-blink mode). 3. Ascii - Strips colors from Ansi. For your hidden message viewing pleasure. 4. Grayscale - Makes the ansi gray. ,,Pgup,Pgdn - The arrow keys are used to scroll through the file list or a prompt to highlight an item for selection. When displaying an ansi, these may also be used to scroll back through it. [Enter] - Selects highlighted file for display or updates chosen option. -=- Greet of the month goes out to Tinyz, cause he asked me first. All these irc ppl wanted to be greeted : Insidious .
