TV is available for various platforms:
Amiga
Unix
Windows


Amiga

TV on the Amiga comes as the following set of items:
   TV.guide    An earlier version (6.3) of this HTML documentation,
               in 11 AmigaGuide files;
   TV          The program;
   TVini       A practical initialization-file to get started with;
   Fonts       A directory containing the font TV (size 8).

Additionally, a directory Examples contains a few TV programs (often
with comments to make them understandable) giving a few hints on how to use
TV.

Put TV in the c: directory (or any other directory listed in the PATH). It
will then be available from a CLI-environment (either a CLI opened from
WorkBench or the Startup-Sequence/User-Startup).

Where you put the initialization-file TVini is up to you. However, make
certain that TVini: is assigned to it with the AmigaDOS Assign command.
Later on, you will probably create your own initialization-file, but the
example is handy to get started with.

Where you put the AmigaGuide documentation-files TV.guide#? is, once more,
up to you.It is advisable to assign TVhelp: to the directory containing
the guide-files. In combination with the example initialization-file,
the function key HELP is then defined to let you browse through this
document as on-line help. Please be aware that the AmigaGuide is obsolete, and
will no longer be maintained. The HTML documentation is the proper source now.

The TV-font (in directory fonts) is created specially for use with TV. It
is loosely based on topaz, but extended so that all ASCII-characters have
a representation. If you decide to use this font, copy the contents of the
fonts directory to your FONTS:-directory via the AmigaDOS-command:
"copy BUGDisk:TV/fonts FONTS: all".

Entering the AmigaDOS command "TV" starts the program.


Unix


Windows

TV for Windows is distributed as an installer. After running that,
it is possible to start TV from a CMD shell, or by using the context-menu
on files in an Explorer via the entry 'Edit with TV'.

If your system is equipped with MingW/MSYS, it is also possible to use TV
from a bash shell in the unix-like environment provided by MingW/MSYS. A
tar-file is available in the installation directory (Program Files\BUG\TV)
called pctv_7.1_dist.tar. Installing and using that is similar to what was
described under Unix, and need not be repeated here.
