I would like to find a text reader that has the following features: 1) Will handle multiple files. I don't want to write an Arexx script to call the thing more than once. I don't like the window opening and closing and I wan't to switch quickly back and forth. 2) Will expand wildcards on the command line. 3) Powerpacker compatibility would be nice. 4) Large files without loading the whole thing in memory. Fast (of course). I have downloaded 2 or 3 of these things, but either they don't handle more than one file or they will but "proudly" announce that they deliberately didn't expand wildcards because they think its "wrong" and that shell should handle it. Programmers. *Sheesh*. I'm getting tired of looking, can someone point me the right way? —–> Brian Simmons, Denver, Colorado. – via Whap!
