`22.May.2004` ANN (website)	Text viewer: EvenMore v0.62 The text viewer EvenMore by Chris Perver is now available in version 0.62. Mainly the plugins for RTF, HTML and AmigaGuide have been updated. For the RTF plugin have compatibility issues been fixed, for AmigaGuide the bug with the word wrap and the plugins for HTML and Eml now understand the ANSI command *CBAR. In the main program the quickload.txt menu list has been extended with the key words SUB and ITEM. By more intense use of the screen font and the possibility to run the program without the need of the iconify gadget should the window now look better when using special GUIs (e.g. MorphOS).
