FILE-MAN is, more or less, a mental exercise. It does (or will), however,
have some useful features. Essentially, it's my attempt at creating a DOS
shell. The idea is to have a menu-driven system which can do anything DOS can
do, but a bit friendlier. In reality, there are severe limitations at the
moment. There are a lot of plans for enhancing the program, and eventually I
think it'll be quite useful in some ways. For now, though, I would recommend
against throwing out your DOS manual.
SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS AND NOTES
This file manager was written on an Amstrad PC1512. This system has an 8086
processor, composite black and white CGA monitor, and 640K RAM plus 2Mb EMS.
There are two 5.25" 360K floppy drives, and a 49Mb hard drive card. The
operating system is MS-DOS 3.20.
At this time, you'll need about 95K to run the file manager.
You'll also need GW-BASIC. The file manager was written with GW-BASIC 3.22
and, if you want to use that, you'll want MS or PC-DOS 3.20 or higher.
However, it's quite possible that FILE-MAN will run on lower versions of
BASICA/GW-BASIC, in which case you can probably get by with a lower version of
DOS.
