				FilePeek
			       Version 1.1

FilePeek is the file viewer that Windows95 should have given you, but didnt.
QuickView is way too slow, balks at formats it doesnt know, and truncates 
text at the first binary data.  FilePeek will view the text in any file, no 
matter what kind of file it is, and very quickly.  FilePeek converts non-
displayable characters to a dot ( . ) and therefore, doesnt allow binary 
characters to truncate its view.  It is a "view only" program, so you dont 
have to worry about accidentally modifying files youre viewing with it.  
FilePeek also has a hex view mode, if you need to see what those non-
displayable characters are. You can search for text, and select and copy
text to the clipboard.

FilePeeks setup program lets you install the program in the directory of 
your choice, and adds a shortcut on your Start Menu, but the easiest way to
open a file with FilePeek is to right click the file from Windows Explorer,
and choose FilePeek on the context menu which pops up.  FilePeek lets you 
choose separate fonts for its Text and Hex view modes.  You can run more 
than one instance of FilePeek if you need to compare files.

FilePeek's window can be resized, and its position can be saved if you want 
it to open in the same position every time you run it.  FilePeeks text view 
has word wrap, so all characters are visible, no matter what the window size.
The hex view shows 16 bytes of hex view on the left side of the window, and 
the same 16 bytes in text on the right.

If you installed FilePeek with the included setup program, it will be on
your start menu, and can be uninstalled from Control Panel.

FilePeek requirements:  FilePeek requires the Visual C runtime files, and
the setup program uses two system files which weren't shipped with earlier
versions of Windows95.  If you get a missing dll message in FilePeek or the
setup program, go to  http://www.flash.net/~castman/sharware.htm   and
follow the missing dll link to get the files.
