Labels:text | screenshot | menu | gold OCR: Q-DOS 3 [Disk Management by Tony Curro Q-DOS 3 has made file and disk management very simple. Copy, Move, Erase, Rename files and directories with ease. You can even move a whole directory and its subdirectories to another location with a few keystrokes. Find files quickly; change attributes of files; view and edit text file with the built-in G-Edit; even UNERASE files. This is another small program, which comes with both 5.25" and 3.5" diskettes. Installation is a breeze and only takes several minutes. Q-DOS 3 is fully configurable from the menu bar and editor to the colors. All can be changed to suit your tastes, and can be done very easily by even the novice user . Q-DOS 3 has full mouse support and works with Windows 3.1. It does NOT work in the OS/2 2.0 DOS box. I have recently read a review of Q-DOS 3 on-line where another writer erroneously stated that it does work in OS/2. Evidently that writer does not have OS/2. G-Edit, the Q-DOS 3 built-in text editor will edit a file up to 1MB; or you can load up to five files in, and switch between them, move and resize the windows and much more. G-Edit will even bring up your last session the next time you start it. This feature can be turned off if you so desire. "Pruning and Grafting," is the feature whereby you move a directory from one location to another. This is a visual move, not one requiring any typing. You highlight the directory you wish to move and press P for prune . Next you move the arrow key to place the highlight where you want the new directory to reside. It is that easy. Files are handled in a similar fashion, you tag files you wish to copy, move, etc. Then press the key on the bar, and again you see the information. No guessing involved . When you first start Q-DOS 3 you see a screen that has Fkey commands on the left and file list on the right. On the top is the menu bar with its commands, while on the bottom is the date and time. This screen can be changed by using the Layout option. You can set it up as follows : FileXFile - File by File splits the screen with 2 file lists side by side. DirXFile -- This shows you the directory tree on the left with the file list on the right. Q-DOS 3 even provides you with information on your drives and system. The SPACE command shows you the bytes on your drive, and breaks it down into total of disk, used and free. QDMEMMAP is a program that is included with Q-DOS 3. You can run it from a DOS prompt or from within Q-DOS 3. Here you get information about the memory on your system, how it is allocated, device drivers installed and much more. Gazelle offers a 60-day money-back guarantee and unlimited toll-free technical support. It does have pretty icons to look it, nor is it ugly. It does the job it was purchased for. I ask: "What do you want beauty, or reliability?" One person told me that they like beauty. I prefer a program that will do what it says. Not one that is fancy, but does not work as it should. You can't lose with Q-DOS 3. Product Information] Q-DOS 3 List Price: $99.95 |Gazelle Systems |305 North 500 West Provo Utah 84601 800 RUN-FAST
