RexxShow 1.1

Short:        Viewer using Arexx and Datatypes
Author:       Patrice ROUX
Uploader:     oniria hol fr
Type:         util/rexx
Version:      1.1
Architecture: m68k-amigaos


NEW: - Now compatible with datatypes.library 45.x

     - Added Findtype.rexx script to find a new filetype (OS 3.x only)

     - Explanations on how to define new filetypes

     - Always the only simple script to handle multiple selection of files !!! :)



           OS 3.+ integrates a very interesting feature with the datatypes.library :
   the ability to recognize every type of file and view it using Multiview.

   Therefore, Multiview has many defaults :

   - you can't multiselect files

   - it isn't very optimized for larges files

   - it works bad with graphics cards

   and there are a lot of viewer that are more specific for a filetype, or for graphics cards ...



   So RexxShow is here to solve all theses problems :

        You can conserve all the functions of the datatypes.library for the recognition of filetypes
   plus the power of optimized viewers for every filetype or for your graphics card


        OS 2.+ hasn't the functions of the datatypes.library so for theses uesrs I have integrated a
   modified script that uses whatis.library for filetypes recognition.
