DESCRIPTION

Tk::Text::Viewer IS A text widget that can display text files under TK. It enable the user to search text and navigate in a Text widget. The reason for creating this module is that it doesn't require downloading of modules other that Tk; Look for widget options in Tk::Text.

A separate viewer.pl program is included that can be used as a stand alone file browser.
