QFiler v3.1le by Jamestown Software Registration $ 20.00
UTIL MAR91 QFILER JAMESTOWN FILE DIRECTORY MANAGEMENT
FILES: qfil31le.sdn
Update
(Obtained directly from the author's support BBS)
QFiler is an easy file management system that opens two
windows betwen directories or disks. Supports tag, point and
shoot, archivers your edit, a file viewer ans more.
NEW LHA.EXE SUPPORTED:
----------------------
The file compression utility LHARC.EXE is now distributed as
LHA.EXE. This version of QFILER (QF) has been tested with
the beta 2.05 version of LHA (released as the self-extracting
file LHA205.EXE). QF detects both LHARC.EXE and LHA.EXE, and
utilizes the new features included in LHA.EXE if it is
available. QF checks all directories listed in your PATH
statement, so you can speed things up if the subdirectory
containing LHA.EXE (and other programs supported by QF) is
listed as one of the first directories in your "PATH="
statement.
NOTE: A bug was corrected in QF version 3.1LD which resulted
in LHARC not being recognized.
LHA & PKZIP SELF-EXTRACTING EXE'S MAY BE ZOOMED
-----------------------------------------------
Self-extracting EXE files created by PKZip, LHArc and LHA are
treated as "normal" compressed files when Ctrl-Z (PKZip) or
Ctrl-L (LHArc/LHA) is used. Files may be extracted, viewed
and zoomed. It's up to you, however, to select the "correct"
compression utility.
EXTENDED SUBDIRECTORY SELECTION:
--------------------------------
The parent of subdirectory is now shown as "PARENT" rather
than <PARENT>. This small change now guarantees the parent
listing will be the first line shown in a QF window.
Several short-cut keys have been added to QF to facilitate
subdirectory selection: If a subdirectory is the currently
selected line in a QF window, pressing ENTER will display
that directory on the current side of the screen. Pressing
the "." (period) key at ANY time will display the parent of
the current directory on the current side; pressing the "<"
key will display the parent on the left side, while pressing
the ">" key will display the parent on the right.
Long subdirectory names created with extensions (for example,
MYBACKUP.001) are now handled correctly in QF's PICK
function.
QFILER on NETWORKS:
-------------------
Although previous versions of QF are widely used on Novell
networks, feedback indicates that QF sometimes attempted to
write temporary files to the root directory of a disk -- when
a network user may not have access to the root directory!
This version of QF allows a path to be defined that QF will
use to write its temporary files. To implement this feature
you must create a QFPATH.CFG text file -- which is expected
to contain a single line indicating a subdirectory path which
may be used to store temporary files. QFPATH.CFG must be
located in a pathed directory for which a user has access.
The path it identifies must also be accessible by a user.
For example, if the subdirectory C:\QFILER is a public
directory, place the QFPATH.CFG file in that directory. The
QFPATH.CFG would contain "C:\QFILER". QF will use the
defined path to store all QFPATH.FILs (used for the PICK
option) and to store a temporary file created when an
ARC-ZOOM function is selected. Network managers suggest that
a user's local drive may be a good choice to use for both the
QFPATH.CFG file and the path it contains.
NOTE: While this feature was added to solve problems on
networks, it is very useful for non-network users as well!
OTHER CHANGES:
--------------
A bug was corrected which resulted in QF's Ctrl-E function
not working properly when running under 4DOS.
This version of QF will swap itself to EMS or disk when
shelling to DOS or executing other programs. This feature
may be disabled by running QFINST with /SWAP as a
command-line parameter (Windows doesn't like DOS programs
trying to manage memory on their own). QF will release all
memory except about 30K. NOTE: If you don't have EMS memory,
you probably will want to disable this feature (unless you
need large amounts of memory to run other programs from
within QF) -- swapping to disk is relatively slow!
