AUTHOR

DESCRIPTION

     Textread is a more/ppmore/... clone. The main difference is the speed.
     Textread is designed to be as fast as possible, yet system friendly.
     Some of the features are:

      o Speed
      o Support for XPK and PowerPacker
      o Multibuffer
      o Multi settings
      o Softscroll (well it sucks, really)
      o RTG compatible
      o Can use any fixed-width font system-friendly
      o Can use any 8×8 pixel font on Amiga bitplanes
        with very fast text routines
      o Supports pipes

     Just download it and have a look.

     ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
      This  release  is  called  1.14,  but  it is not finished.  Because I have
     failed  - big time - to release new upgrades, I have decided to release the
     source  code in the hope that somebody is willing to take over Textread.  I
     still  consider  this  program  to be very good, I use it every day myself.
     Sure,  some  things  are  lacking, but the fact is that it has everything I
     need.   That,  and  the fact that it is written completly in assembler, are
     the reasons why I don't have any motivation to continue to improve it.

      So  instead  of letting more time pass, my hope is that somebody out there
     can  clean  up  the  source,  fix  the  bugs and release a new version.  Or
     perhaps  just  keep  the  good  parts and begin from scratch (may I suggest
     another language than assembler?).
