Well, 1.4 is now 2.0, and it's almost here. So this is probably going to
be the last revision of Browser. I'm now using Workbench 2.0 on a daily
basis, and I find I'm not using Browser that much. It remains faster than
workbench and cleaner for quick jobs, but not enough for me to spend much
time on it. However, lots of people remain in a 1.3 environment, and with
the new release of the Aztec C compiler (5.0d) I've been able to clear up
several outstanding bugs in Browser. Thus, the new release.
What Browser does allow you to do, easily and conveniently, is to
move, copy, rename, and delete files and directories. It will also let you
execute either Workbench or CLI programs, either directly by double-
clicking them or by selecting them from a menu. By combining these you can
set up a complete operating environment that will, to a large extent,
replace both Workbench and the CLI.
