It grew to be a more general file displayer with an emphasis -on ease of browsing and searching, but I've tried to keep its interface -(and implementation) simple and make it useful in shell scripts. - -xp tries to be reasonably efficient in use of memory when displaying -large files, given that the text widgets requires the whole file to be -in memory, by using a read-only text widget and freeing memory when a -file is no longer displayed (so if you go back to a previously -displayed file it gets re-opened). - -xp incorporates Henry Spencer's implementation of egrep style regular -expression matching. The xp distribution includes that part of the -regexp distribution which it requires. - -gerry.tomlinson@ncl.ac.uk November 1995 |
