for Linux
This is the Linux port of QuickView Pro for DOS. It is a console application
that does not work under X Window. Note that this Linux version is no longer
actively developed nor supported.
Its features and documentation are similar to the
QuickView Pro for DOS version .
There are however still several features missing so that it can rather be called alpha.
Download the latest QuickView Pro
for Linux version (2.57 from 2006).
You can start QuickView with
./qv
If you start QuickView with parameters make sure to use a "-" instead
of a "/" like under DOS (a "/" under Linux could be mixed up with a path).
Note: Current status of the software: free for non-commercial use.
If you intend to use the software commerically please contact the author.
Note: You must use kernel version 2.2.x or later.
Note: If you boot Linux from DOS via loadlin make sure that you remove
all programs and drivers that hook interrupt 10h like mouse driver, display.sys
and ansi.sys from your config.sys and autoexec.bat files. Otherwise
QuickView Pro might crash under Linux later on.
Known Problems:
There is no sound support.
VideoCD playback is not supported.
Hardware acceleration of graphics chips is not supported.
