I am pleased to announce the release of HyperView version 3.2.
  
Version 3.2 contains the following enhancements to HyperView PM:
  
 o Option for enhanced integration with file manager programs. Lets
   HyperView function like an extension of your file manager.
 o Drag and drop enabled. To open a new file, drag it to an open
   HyperView window and drop.
 o Enhanced gather. Use the mouse to gather words and phrases.
 o Customizable cursor keys.
 o Separate PM executables for OS/2 Warp and above and for OS/2 2.1x.
  
For the benefit of those who have not yet tried the program, HyperView
is a high performance file viewer with special functions for isolating
and extracting information from word processing, text, and ZIP files.
It reads popular word processing formats, as well as ASCII text files.
HyperView is fast and easy to use.
  
With HyperView, you focus quickly on pertinent information. HyperView's
search function lets you tag all lines of text containing a matching
search string. Text may also be tagged and untagged manually. Tagged
lines may then be isolated in one window while being viewed
simultaneously--with surrounding text--in the main text window.
  
The HyperView package includes both Presentation Manager (PM) and text
mode versions of the program.
  
These are some of HyperView's features:
 - Automatically recognizes and reads popular word processing formats,
   including:  Ami Pro, Clearlook, DeScribe, Microsoft Word for Windows,
   and WordPerfect.
 - Automatically recognizes compressed files in the ZIP format. Works
   in tandem with Info-ZIP's UNZIP.EXE to view compressed files
   directly, without making a copy on your hard drive. Compressed files
   with long file names and names with spaces may be viewed even on non-
   HPFS drives.
 - Can be used as a file viewer with your favorite file manager. (The
   PM edition has special features for enhanced integration with file
   manager programs.)
 - Drag and drop enabled (PM edition only).
 - Tag and untag lines of text manually or from the Search Dialog.
 - Separate windows for tagged lines and full text.
 - View files in hex format.
 - Loads files almost instantaneously.
 - Blazingly fast searches.
 - Tagged lines may be copied or appended to the OS/2 clipboard or to a
   file.
 - All or part of a file may be gathered and copied or appended to the
   OS/2 clipboard or to a file.
 - Directory listing to pick file for viewing and to navigate file
   system.
 - Adjustable right margin for stripped ASCII and word processing files.
 - Searches may cross line boundaries when working with word processing
   and stripped ASCII files.
 - Supports long file names and names with spaces.
 - Case insensitive searches may be performed in any language.
 - Commands may be invoked without the use of shifted keystrokes.
  
The following features are currently only available in the text mode
edition:
 - Ability to read from standard input on startup.
 - May be started from the OS/2 DOS command line or a DOS program
   running in an OS/2 DOS session (VDM).
 - View encrypted ZIP archives (you supply the password).
 - Perfect for reading files when you must boot off a floppy or when you
   run OS/2 without Presentation Manager.
  
HyperView is distributed as user-supported software. The registration
fee is $35(US) for individuals. Quantity pricing is available.
