- 1. What is Space Explorer?
-
- Space Explorer is a great file management system. It combines
- features usually found in several different file utilities into
- one easy-to-use, multithreaded, multiple-document environment
- providing information in lists (like Windows Explorer) and in
- charts. As well having several Explorer-like windows open, you can
- move, copy, and rename files; create folders and shortcuts;
- display folder tree sizes; find duplicate files; search for large
- files; monitor drives; and compare folders. Space Explorer supports
- drag/drop; and FAT, FAT32, and NTFS (you can see who owns a file,
- its compressed size, and when it was last accessed).
-
- Space Explorer is a great tool for standalone and networked PCs.
-
- Using Space Explorer is very easy. If you require more
- information while you're using it, press F1. This will provide
- context-sensitive help.
-
- For more information, please see the Reviewer's Guide in the Help file.

- 7. What is a "beta" version?
-
- A "beta" version of a program is a version that has not been fully
- tested and, therefore, may contain errors (bugs). It may also not have
- all the features that will be available when the final version is shipped.
-
- This release of Space Explorer is a beta version. It has been released
- for experienced users who are aware of the potential problems and risks
- associated with using beta software.
-
- You are strongly advised to save any open documents before using
- Space Explorer. It is also a good idea not to use beta software
- with important data.
