[Elecraft] Scrolling AView

[Tony Fegan VE3QF]

Hi Chas,
    That AView program has bugged me for some time and I had hoped you 
would have got some good replies to your question. It is a rather crude 
program but we have to remember it is probably at least 10 years old. I 
am using Windows XP and I find AView screws up the colours on other open 
windows. I think the program was dragged "kicking and screaming" from 
the DOS world into the wonders of Windows. You can get all the 
information but it is certainly not user friendly. Its search engine is 
a real pain.
    When you have the top half in view you have to drag the page (hold 
down left mouse button) to position the lower half into the window for 
reading.
    I hope one of the programming experts on this list comes to our rescue.

       73,
            Tony Fegan VE3QF
