are you saying that you want to be able to open the file first as read-only and then click some button to allow the program to change to read/write mode? I would think that no one would design a program do to that. But with free software some COULD. I would think of using two programs: one for viewing and one for editing. How about every document is CVS'd so you can get back the old version. or how about a WIKI site. All can read it. And some versions have passwd protected editing. Just my 2 yen. -K On Tue, 2003-05-20 at 23:06, Rick Pasotto wrote: > On Tue, May 20, 2003 at 10:56:54PM -0400, David Z Maze wrote: > > stan <stanb@panix.com> writes: > > > > > I need a lightweight file viewer for use on a dedicated machien that will > > > be used by users who have only ever used windoze. here is what I need. > > > > > > 1. view only (no edits). > > > 2. must be able to change fiel being viewd. > > > 3. must be able to do simple searches. > > > > 'less' can do all of these things.
