EText Reader 1.2.2 Description

"EText Reader is a simple cross-platform GUI EText reader utilizing the wxWindows"

Editor: Etext Reader is a simple cross-platform GUI EText reader utilizing the wxWindows GUI library.
It was written to "scratch an itch" of mine, i.e. to be able read EText's using the font and color selection I like and to keep track of the current reading position within the text and allow making bookmarks to be able to reference specific portions of the text later.

I was watching the Discovery channel recently when they had a program on 'Heart of Darkness', a novel written in the late 1800's. This is the basis of the movie 'Apocalpyse Now' and the TNT movie 'Heart of Darkness'. Assuming the copyright had lapsed, I went to the Project Gutenberg website to see if I couldn't download an EText of the book. Sure enough, it was there and hence I had to write a program to View It.

Note: this is also a nice, simple example that demonstrates several features of the wxWindows library. It is incredible to note how you can go from concept to a complete working program in only a few hours using this library.

Note 2: Okay, this used to be a nice, simple example for the wxWindows library but it has gotten a bit more complicated since then. Its still nice, but not so simple example using the wxWindows library.
