This is a demo version of ProFiler
----------------------------------
Q: What is ProFiler?
A: ProFiler is a replacement Filer for the desktop, that contains all the
functionality of the ROM-Filer and more.
Q: What's wrong with the demo version?
A: Making a demo version brought up the problem of finding out what features
to disable. I didn't solve this problem, as I think all of the features are
more or less equally important for purposes of evaluating the program.
So after discussing this with other users, we agreed on the following
approach:
The demo contains all of the functionality of the full ProFiler.
HOWEVER, if you use this filer for a prolonged period of time, you will find
that your RMA grows steadily until full. At which point the filer (and many
other things) will be unusable. This allows you to try it out as much as you
like, but constant use is not feasible.
To make this work, the demo version also uses about 8 times as much RMA
as the real version, otherwise the above would have little effect.
There is another thing wrong with it, but that is not by choice. The wimp
has a bug concerning writable icons with sprites in them. This means that
the Alt-click rename only works reliably when used in "Large icons" viewers.
I might klugde my way out of this, but it is really the wimp that needs to
be fixed.
Q: How do I get the full version?
A: This demo was produced because I got fed up with requests for it. But it is
still a bit too early, because the final distribution details of the full
version has not been agreed upon.
If you have email, you can be notified when this matter has been settled.
Send mail to "tolsson@pip.dknet.dk" and ask to be added to the list.
Q: What about the rest? There must be more I should know?
A: Yes, start your favourite HTML viewer and open "Dox.Index".
