External Auto-Viewers

Dynamically Associate Programs to Files

typically used display the contents of a file at runtime.

Appear on Main Menu and Popup Menus depending

on where you decide they should go on a tool by tool basis

Will be available on the menus only

for the file type(s) you specify. Separate and multiple file masks can be specified for displaying each tool on the main menu (Tools | Auto-Viewers >) and for the right-click popup menu. This keeps the menus from being cluttered with Auto-Viewers that are not relevant to the current file.

External Auto-Viewers (i.e. Programs) can be associated

with multiple file types and/or file specifications (e.g. *.BMP and S*.DLL

Can be easily Enabled and Disabled

without uninstalling the Auto-Viewer by simply checking and unchecking check boxes.

Can be used to Search the Internet

for information on filenames or file types
