Lister: Options menu:
1. Text only: The currently loaded file is interpreted as text. The characters #13 (carriage return) and #10 (line feed) are interpreted (together or one of them) as a new line sign. Lines of more than 80 characters (can be changed) are also split into multiple lines.
2. Binary: Here a fixed line width of 74 characters (default) is used. This is useful to look at executable files or other non-text files.
3. Hex: The following is shown (from left to right): 32-bit-offset (distance in bytes from the beginning of the file), 16 characters in hex, the same 16 characters as plain text.
4. Image If possible, the file is shown as a bitmap image. Depending on the file extension, the file is loaded as a bitmap with the internal bmp viewer, or with the help of Irfanview.
5. HTML-Text Try to interpret the file as a HTML file: remove all tags, and show links. Relative links will open lister with the linked file, while absolute links (with http:// in the link) will open the link in the default browser. The mouse cursor will change to an arrow with a little 'e' for external links. Now also supports UTF8-encoded HTML, if the file contains the appropriate META HTTP-EQUIV header.
6. Unicode Show unicode files. Unicode is a file format where every character takes 2 bytes. This format is used e.g. by Windows NT Regedit or NT-Notepad.
7. UTF8 Show UTF8 files. UTF8 is a special form of Unicode, where each character can take between 1 and 6 bytes. This format can be created by NT-Notepad.
ANSI (Windows): This character set should be used for all files created within Windows. The ANSI character set can be selected with the a key.
ASCII (DOS): This character set is meant for DOS texts containing DOS graphical characters like lines, or country-specific characters (umlauts) It can be activated with the s key.
Variable char width:
This character set is optimal for Windows text without tables or other justified text parts. Key: v.
Wrap text: If checked, text is wrapped around after (max.) the number of letters specified in the configuration dialog. The text is wrapped at word boundaries. If unchecked, the text is wrapped after 255 characters (maximum possible line length).
Show text cursor Show a text cursor to select and copy text (no editing). Key: F6
Fit Image to window
Resizes the bitmap image so it fits into the Lister window. The correct aspect ratio is preserved. If you print the file in this mode, it will be resized to the selected print area (paper size without margins). Shortcut: f. New: This function now also works for video windows.
Fit only larger images to window
Resizes the bitmap only if it is larger than the current window.
Center images Images are centered in lister instead of shown in the upper left corner.
Configure: Activates a dialog to configure Lister.
Save position: Saves the current position of Lister in the file wincmd.ini.
