This is the Xmas edition of LXDocRead

This program is designed for reading Palm .prc *compressed* files. It
will (probably) not work with non-compressed files.  It will
(definitely) not work with other file types.

Xmas edition means that this is a pre-alpha version which may or may
not work properly... I tried to make this available for Christmas and
it has worked quite OK for me for the last 30 minutes ;)

Install this program (docread.exe) in any location you like
(preferably in some directory on your path). It will not need any
other files to work. After that MAKE BACKUPS OF ALL IMPORTANT
INFORMATION!!!!!

Run this program from dos-box:
docread <filename.prc>

You can also execute it from filer if you have associated .prc with
this program (filer.ini/Buddy).

Keys that work:

F1           : Help & About, displays key helps and information
UP PGUP B b  : previous page
HOME         : begin of story         
END          : end of story (slow!!)  
ESC Q q      : Quit                   
ZOOM Z z     : change character size  
J j          : justify (may not work properly yet!)
Others       : next page              

Program will start with 64 characters on one line. With Zoom it cycles
64->80->40->64...
