- What is FM Applic?
- ------------------
- At long last, the utility that Microsoft forgot to put into the File
- Manager, is here!
-
- Introducing FM Applic 1.0 !
-
- FM Applic is a File Manager extension that provides you with the
- Applications menu. But wait, FM Applic is more than just an
- application launcher. It is a powerful utility that is fully
- integrated with the File Manager. Please read on.
-
- Fully Integrated with File Manager
- ----------------------------------
-
- Files that you select in the File Manager's current directory window
- or search results window become the input to the application you
- choose. For example, a very useful application that you will want to
- add is your favorite text editor. Simply click on the file that you
- want to edit, select your text editor from the Applications menu and,
- presto! You are editing the selected file with your favorite editor.
-
- Auto-load Drag-Drop Applications
- --------------------------------
-
- Another nice feature that FM Applic provides is the ability to start
- an application when the File Manager starts. Auto-loading is very
- useful for applications that support the "Drag-Drop" feature of the
- File Manager; such as a "trash-can" or a "file browse" program.
-
- Toolbar Support
- ---------------
-
- If you are a Windows for Workgroups 3.1 user, you will be happy to
- know that FM Applic takes full advantage of the File Manager's
- toolbar. You can associate an application with one of the many
- toolbar buttons provided with FM Applic. Or, you can convert an icon
- (from an icon file) into a toolbar button for your application.
-
- Benefits
- --------
-
- Now File Manager is complete! Here are just a few ways you will
- benefit by using FM Applic:
-
- o Say "Good-bye" to the File Manager's Run command.
- o No more fumbling with "associations".
- o No more flip-flopping between File Manager and Program
- Manager.
- o Breathe new life into your favorite DOS programs.
- o Professional quality that you expect from your Windows
- software.
- o Just click on a file, click on the application, and
- that's it!
