Singularity
Index	Singularity for Windows 98/95/NT
Folder Guard  Singularity  StepUp  FM StepUp  FM Guard	Singularity is a powerful yet easy in use 32-bit file management tool for computers running the Windows 95/98, or Windows NT 4.0 operating systems. It lets you manage your files and folders easier and faster, using the convenient double-panel framework (pioneered in Norton Commander), while maintaining close integration with the standard Windows user interface.  Singularity has the following features: The main window of Singularity hosts two panels, independently displaying the contents of folders of your computer, just like the built-in Windows Explorer does. Each panel may be used to browse all folders, both virtual and real ones, located on local or remote drives. Having two independent panels is especially convenient when copying or moving files: enabling you to see the contents of the source and destination folders. Powerful means of navigation between folders: the Most Recently Visited Folders (History) lists, maintained for each panel independently; the pop-up Folder Tree window that lets you browse the whole hierarchy of folders; the drive bar and drive list, etc. Various ways of customizing the look and feel of the listings shown in the panels according to your preferences: single- or double-click activation, full row selection, underlining the hot or cold items, etc. (Note: Older versions of Windows won’t support all these options.) Commands to directly manipulate files and folders (copy, move, rename, delete). Unlike the built-in commands offered by Windows Explorer (which are still available and supported), Singularity’s commands do not involve the use of the clipboard. So now you can work with files in a direct and straightforward way. Quick Edit lets you use your favorite text editor to open files that are not necessarily associated with a particular application (such as Readme.1st, Readme.now, etc.). Command prompt lets you quickly run programs that accept command-line arguments. Singularity saves you time by allowing you to insert the names or full paths of the selected file objects directly into the command prompt. Drive bar lets you quickly go from one drive to another with just one click of the mouse! Singularity remembers the folder you were browsing last time for each drive, and when you click on a button on the drive bar, the view is instantaneously switched to that last visited folder. Toolbar offers you quick access to the most heavily used commands of Singularity. You can customize the set of buttons that appear on the main toolbar, as well as their visual appearance (flat or pop-out buttons). The toolbar may be docked along any side of the main window, or it may be left floating above it. Status bar indicators show various pieces of useful information, such as the current load of the RAM (Random Access Memory), free space left on the current drive, the current date and/or time, etc. You can control which indicators are displayed. While providing new means to work with your files and folders, Singularity fully supports the traditional tools and commands offered by the Windows user interface, such as the right-click accessible shortcut menus, the panel toolbars that let you copy, cut, and paste files via the clipboard (just like Windows Explorer does), drag-and-drop operations, etc. Context-sensitive Help provides a complete user's guide to Singularity. Also included is an automatic Setup utility, allowing you to painlessly install and uninstall Singularity. Singularity may be used both on a single machine and on a network. Each user can configure and use Singularity independently on the others. Try it -- You won't believe how you were able to work without Singularity! The Way Software Should Be! (TM) Shareware, $39.95. System requirements: Windows 95, 98, or Windows NT 4.0 or later.  For more information visit: http://www.winability.com/
