Press Release Summary: New text search tool loads and views any number of text files
in one window. Words are searched just by typing them, instantly and across all
files.

Press Release Body: STUTTGART, Germany. Vincent Stahl, computer artist and software
developer, has released Depeche View, a fast text browser for Windows and Linux
(WINE). \"The speed is made from many little steps\", says the author, \"like loading
all text files from a directory tree into memory, and a new presentation concept:
there is no switching between files, but all contents are shown in one window. The
user interface is reduced to the essential, without pulldown menus or dialogue
boxes. A word is searched by typing it. Phrases are searched, bookmarked, or copied
to clipboard by a mouse click. Putting this all together, Depeche View provides an
unusual realtime behaviour.\"

The tool requires no installation, and therefore runs from any USB stick. Search
operators are supported: typing \"foo OR bar NOT bottle\" finds all lines containing
\"foo\" or \"bar\", but not \"bottle\". A config file allows to define own commands, e.g.
to open files in an editor. Bookmark lists present remembered words in a clearly
readable way.

Depeche View is primarily for software developers running many repeated searches,
especially within Open Source code. But whenever there ist much ASCII text to
filter, like CSV exports from spreadsheets, logfiles of a webserver, or html
documentation, non-developers may find it useful as well.

Depeche View Base is freeware, available for download under

www.stahlworks.com/dev/

A commercial edition with further scripting capabilities is also available.
