- The printed user's manual being sent to registered users as of the date
- of this file is current to Version 6.00. Any registered users who wish
- to receive a copy of this latest printed manual may order by sending $5
- to NoVaSoft. This essentially covers our printing and mailing costs.
-
- The following features have been added or improved since the printing of
- the CMFiler Version 6.00 user's manual:
-
- "QUICK-STARTING" AN ASSOCIATED FILE in Windows 95: For PCs running under
- Windows 95, if an association exists between a file extension and an
- application, you can start the application and operate on that file just
- by putting the cursor on the filename and pressing Q. For example,
- Windows 95 associates .WAV files with its audio WAV file player. To
- start the WAV file player, and have it load a particular .WAV file, say
- TADA.WAV, just put the cursor on the filename TADA.WAV and press Q.
-
- FILE COMPARE: CMFiler has a new file compare facility in the main
- services module similar to the old DOS program COMP.EXE. Put the cursor
- on one file to be compared and press Ctrl-R (for compaRe). Navigate to
- the second file, put the cursor on it and press Ctrl-R again. The bottom
- of the screen will show the results of the file comparison.
-
- ENHANCEMENTS TO FILE VIEWER: The file viewer has been made more seamless
- when viewing files which are too long to fit into the available
- conventional memory. When searching for a string, viewer will load and
- search the next and each subsequent section of the file until the string
- is found. The file beginning/file end commands (Alt-B/Alt-E) reload the
- first section, or sequentially load and index each section to the end,
- instead of only moving to the beginning or end of the currently loaded
- section.
-
- A switch (Ctrl-M) has been added to the file viewer to allow masking non-
- ASCII characters. This helps in viewing word processing files, such as
- WordPerfect files, which have non-ASCII characters distributed
- throughout.
-
- SPLITTING FILES IN THE FILE VIEWER: The file viewer can now be used to
- split a file into up to 20 smaller files, at dividers inserted by the
- user. Alt-I inserts a divider at the location of the cursor, and Alt-S
- splits the file at the dividers. The beginning and end of the file have
- pre-placed, implicit dividers.
-
- In order to make the command Alt-S available for "Split file," the
- command for switching from view to edit mode has been changed from Alt-S
- to Alt-D (for eDit mode).
-
- IMPORTING A FILE IN THE EDITOR: The user may now import another file
- into the file being edited by placing the cursor on the line just below
- the desired insertion point, and pressing Alt-T (for imporT).
-
- FLOPPY FORMATTING: The user may now specify a volume label to be applied
- to floppies during a formatting session.
-
- PRINTER LINE FEED: A printer line-feed command, Ctrl-i, issues a line-
- feed carriage return to LPT1 only.
-
- LONG FILENAMES FOR COPY-WITH-RENAME: Long filename support is now
- available to the Alt-R "copy file with Rename" function.
