FILEVIEW: Simple Text File Viewer

FILEVIEW implements a simple text file viewer. Unlike Microsoft(R) Windows(TM) Notepad, this program places no limit on the size of the text file that the user can view. FILEVIEW is for viewing text files only; it provides no editing capabilities.

The FILEVIEW source code illustrates the following concepts:

MFC application structuring

Using the Microsoft Foundation Class (MFC) file classes as base classes for derivation and specialization

Using the graphics device interface (GDI) classes for graphical output

Using message maps for handling window scrolling

FILEVIEW requires special MFC libraries and include files; see the "MFC Libraries" and "MFC Include Files" abstracts to copy these files to your development system. FILEVIEW uses the following libraries: MLIBCEW.LIB (C Windows runtime library), LIBW.LIB (Windows library), either MAFXCW.LIB (MFC medium-model Windows retail library) or MAFXCWD.LIB (MFC medium-model Windows debug library), and COMMDLG.DLL.

To build this application, you must have Microsoft C/C++ version 7.0 installed on your system.
