CMFiler -- Version 5.54 -- Feature-Packed DOS Disk/File Manager
________________________
What the Media say:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
o PC Magazine's Edward Mendelson:
"NoVaSoft's $30 shareware utility proves that a programmer working alone
often offers features that major commercial vendors never thought of...
This versatile and reliable package includes other features that you
won't find even in utilities as advanced as XTreeGold...
For DOS users, this program is a valuable and flexible convenience.
For Windows users, their disks littered with stray files, it's a
necessity."
o Bob Ainsbury, in IDG Books' _DOS_6_SECRETS:
"If you are using the DOS Shell for file management, I have good news
for you. Bob's Shareware Collection disks [inside the back cover]
include the excellent file manager CMFiler, from NoVaSoft. CMFiler
is a lightning-fast, full-screen utility that makes the DOS Shell look
primitive."
o Jonathan Kamin, in SAMS Publishing's new release _Novell_DOS_Unleashed_:
"CMFiler's interface is instantly usable by a beginner. Yet its
capabilities in manipulating and viewing files and directories make it
a powerful tool for the most experienced and demanding user. Its
compactness and speed are admirable."
o Shareware Magazine:
"CMFiler operates with blinding speed, and is one of the fastest file
managers around. It may be just what some of the more sophisticated
computer users need."
o Preston Gralla, in _ZiffNET_Threads_:
"For a superb file manager, get CMFiler. It's an excellent file manager
that lets you open two screens at once, and includes, in addition to
many powerful file utilities, file and text finders, a print spooler,
a notepad, an application launcher and a lot more."
