REVIEW: DIRECTORY OPUS 5
===========================
BY SIGMA ALPHA
It has to be the file utility of the decade, Opus 5 has hit the market
with both feet firmly on the ground, with bags of new improved features
to boot. Over the years opus has come up time after time improving on
it's self this time it has superseded itself.
This time Opus 5 has a brand new look to it no longer has it got those
file windows set into a button system! oh no now you can put it where
ever you want. A completely configurable file monster. You are in
complete control of how u want your opus to work and feel. Do you want
it to look like disk master with buttons down the middle ? sure here you
go, the original opus no problem all at the touch of a few buttons and
half an hours setting up.
Directory Opus 5 can now be run either on top of workbench or on it's own
screen. Just how could opus 4 be improved on ? well opus 5 has taken a
tip from file manager on the pc yes you heard me a pc opus 5 now has
icons at the top to make life easier. OK so itz a good idea I cant fault
file manager for it. You can now have a whole bank of icons running
along your shiny opus file lister making copying, deleting, and moving a
pleasure.
Opus 5 allows you to make a window pop up with all your favourite buttons
in and when opus 5 is in its own environment you can have tool buttons
where you can place your favourite programs in by dragging them from
their directories oh yes still in view are your disk icons! and u have
the ultimate workbench replacement, what more could u want ?
Ever had the misfortune of using a pc and seen the odd feature you would
like added to the amiga proggies? well I have seen one you can now
select files using the cursor keys yes now everything via the keyboard.
No more stretching for the mouse.
Your favourite features are still there from the previous version
filetypes, custom windows, hot keys the whole shooting match.
There are some draw backs out there for the old users Opus 5 is now only
WorkBench 2 and above and then slow on the 500+ and 600 to make this work
fast you need a 1200 and then we get to the second draw back you need to
run Opus from a Hard Disk so no more squashing it down to fit on a disk.
Overall If you have WB2+ I would recommend spending some money and buying
this splendid piece of software, Well Done Jonathan Potter & GpSoftware
Top marks.
