BrowserII    3.0    Directory maintenance utility

It is a multi-window file-manager.  It is based on drag and drop just like
workbench.  In fact, it is exactly like workbench in text mode.  It is
fully asynchronous.  That is to say, you can perform several copies,
delete, directory scan,...  at the same time.  You can pause or stop
running processes.  Pressing [ESC] pauses all processes (accidental
operations).  It is small, about 150 KBytes (not compressed of course),
including the whatis.library, a powerfull library that identify file
types.  Does not use much memory when idle (may use more while copying).
Use pooled memory even under WB2.0 to minimize fragmentation.  It is fast.
It has an intelligent iconification, directory tree, archive support,
window snapshot and an intelligent buffered copy process which makes it a
lot faster than standard copy commands/tools when source & destination
directories are on the same device unit.  You can copy a complete 880 Kb
floppy with only 1 drive in 1 pass without using RAM disk as a tmp
storage.  Copies even continue while iconified.  And at last, it is
powerfull and highly configurable.  It is ShareWare.  Once registered, you
get a key file which is valid forever.  if you are not registered (you
don't have the key file), the about requester will popup from time to
time, but BrowserII stay fully functionnal.
Available languages: english, french, deutsch, svenska
