ezview(1)                USER COMMANDS                  ezview(1)



NAME
     ezview - View an Andrew "ez" format document

SYNOPSIS
     ezview  [path-to-ez] file name

DESCRIPTION
     The _e_z_v_i_e_w program allows users to view Andrew-format files.
     If the Andrew "ez" program is present on the search path, it
     will try to run it.  If that program is not present,  or  if
     it  cannot  run  (e.g. because the user is not running X11),
     ezview will produce, on stdout, a text-only version  of  the
     Andrew  document.  This text-only version will have all font
     information removed, and will replace embedded objects  such
     as  pictures  with a statement to the effect that "a picture
     appeared here".

     If ezview is called with two arguments, the first is  inter-
     preted as a full path name for the "ez" command.

     If the file named is simply "-", ezview will read from stan-
     dard input.

     Users not accustomed to Andrew may find it  useful  to  know
     that  if  you hold down the middle mouse button in an Andrew
     window, you will get a set of menus, one of which is "Quit."
