- IMPOSTER 0.95 - New Version of Windows 3.0 Product
-
- Freeware author Darrell Burgan has introduced a new version of his
- IMPOSTER command-line interface for Microsoft Windows 3.0-3.1. This
- product offers the best of both worlds for Windows users--the speed
- and convenience of a command-line with the elegance and access to
- superior applications provided by Microsoft Windows.
-
- IMPOSTER supports every internal command in DOS 5.0 as well as most
- external commands and offers functionality not present in any
- competing product. It is capable of launching both DOS and Windows
- programs and offers the additional ability to execute any standard DOS
- batch file without launching a copy of DOS. IMPOSTER's emulation of
- COMMAND.COM is so close that users may forget they're not running DOS
- at all--just a carefully crafted Windows program that emulates DOS as
- closely as possible.
-
- Also, IMPOSTER supports many commands usually found in third-party
- packages such as Symantec's Norton Utilities - commands that can
- search ASCII files for a text string, to search all directories for a
- file, and to calculate the disk space used by a list of files, etc.
-
- Unlike a DOS window, which consumes as much as 640K of memory at all
- times, IMPOSTER uses much less memory, allowing the user to run
- IMPOSTER at all times without sacrificing scarce free RAM or free
- system resources.
-
- New features in version 0.95 include an integrated help system with
- command-specific help recall, support for aliases, mouse support, and
- many other smaller enhancements to provide even closer emulation of
- COMMAND.COM.
-
- IMPOSTER is freely available to all users at no cost; the author
- merely requests that those who find the product useful send in a
- no-cost registration form. Those who are interested can download
- IMPOSTER from the WINADV forum on CompuServe, from America Online,
- from the Digital X-Connect BBS at 214-517-8443, or from fine BBS
- systems throughout the world.
