HyperView

HyperView (HV) is a high performance file viewer - both the PM and text mode editions are available.

Features
Special features for isolating and extracting information from word processing and text files. It reads popular word processing formats, ASCII text files, and files compressed in the ZIP format. Word processing files in ZIP archives are automatically converted to text.

HyperView's search function can 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. These powerful features let you easily create a hyperview into your document.

These are some of HyperView's other features:
 * Automatically recognizes and reads popular word processing formats, including:
 * Ami Pro
 * Clearlook
 * DeScribe (versions 2 through 5)
 * Microsoft Word for Windows (all versions)
 * WordPerfect (versions 5.x and 6.x).
