Roger, What's the advantage of Muchmore? I've seen it on the Fred Fish diskettes. The smooth scrolling is certainly prettier. Uedit would be interesting. When I used a Strip utility, it bunched the text up too much to be easily readable without a lot of editing. Sincerely, (Mr.) Gayle Lee Fairless 'Perfessor Fearless'

I use MuchMore whenever reading any text, including a capture buffer. The smooth, mouse-controlled scrolling is very nice (at least with version 2.5 -2.7 does NOT seem to have very smooth scrolling!), but the search feature and ability to have it save a marked portion of the file are really invaluable. The problem with using a "dumb" strip program with VT100 code is that the special VT100 "line-feed" type characters are also stripped out, resulting in jumbled, hard to read text. The UEDIT command I use changes VT100 line feeds to ASCII line feeds, and keeps Hi-Lite On/Hi-Lite Off information. I mentioned MuchMore because many other text readers I've seen will not provide Hi-Liting ("reverse video" is what I should be saying, actually.) -Roger
