Because of the object-orientated design of Opus, we can readily add new modules and commands which intergrate smoothly with the other components of the program. Opus 5.5 features a built-in FTP module which allows you to access remote FTP sites directly from your Opus workbench. You can now simply drag and drop files between remote FTP sites and your local hard drive or use standard Opus commands to act on the remote files. For example, just double-click on a remote readme to view it in the Opus Text Reader.
