- File/Directory maintenance utility
- .description
- 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, italiano, spanish
