INTRODUCTION
------------
FileMaster is copyright ©1992 by Toni Wilen, all rights reserved.
This is SHAREWARE. Because of low registration pays I have made two
different versions of FileMaster: unregistered version for public
distribution and registered one with more features.
To register send a contribution of 15 USD, 30 DM or 50 FIM, then
you'll get the newest registered version of FileMaster and SysSpy
and next major update of them. You will get the newest version in
2-8 weeks with complete documentation. The registered version of
FileMaster is only for your personal use and it includes your name,
so you must NOT spread it! Your name will also be added to the list
of registered users.
SysSpy is program which spys task's calls to different libraries.
Libraries included for example are dos, exec, intuition, powerpacker...

YOU USE FILEMASTER WITH YOUR OWN RISK! I cannot assure you a totally
bug free operation, nor can I take responsibility for any damage
caused by the program or by the misuse of it. Still, I think you
find FileMaster worth using even with these restrictions.
FileMaster was developed on an Amiga 500 with 25Mhz 68030 and was
tested with The Enforcer. FileMaster is also tested on an A500,
A1000 and C2000.

VERSION 2.1
-----------
New commands:
-------------
Cut Cuts a part from file and save it to other file
Join With this command, a file will be joined to other file
Config There is a totally different config system in this
version. Almost every command has own config menu.
There is no longer Config-command, only Config
button, which activate config mode.
Crunch Now you can also crunch files. Crunch-command uses
powerpacker.library, which now supports crunching.
You can define efficiency and speedup buffer's
size.
Features:
---------
- FileMaster doesn't need req.library anymore.
Powerpacker.library is needed only if you want to decrunch or
crunch files. Powerpacker.library is copyright by Nico François
- for flicker fixer users, Filemaster supports now full screen in
interlaced mode.
- supports OS 2.0 application icon in sleep mode
- user can now change Filemaster's priority, 'to go...value' show
range, double click's speed, and Filemaster's fonts etc..
- when using parent-command, user can define the number of recall dirs,
so Filemaster reads previous directory from memory instead of disk
- when making directories, you can define the icon file, which
will be copied for directory
- a totally new ShowAsc and ShowHex viewer. Smoother scrolling,
also support for keypad commands (Home,end,Pg up, Pg DN).
HELP-key shows info about file (line, size...)
Intelace and mouse mode support. Use 's'-key to search chars.
- text and graphics printing in multitasking, so you can do something
else with Filemaster while it's printing. Also you can define
printing parameters like printing quality and special density for
cheating the printer to print each line more than two times.
So if you have an old ribbon, you can still use it. When printing
graphics, you can define printing direction, positive or negative,
black and white, gray or color.
- ShowPic-command shows overscanned pictures in center of screen.
- you can re-read the contents of directory by clicking buffer's
number with right mouse button
- now you can define frequency, buffer size and repeat on/off
for hear-command.
- when you put your own commands onto gadgets, you can define
command's name (max. 8 chars) and command's path separately.
Now every command has it's own config (output window, WB
to front, FileMaster to sleep after running)
- clicking right mouse button when mouse is over gadgets equals
clicking on 'Menu' gadget or pressing space.
- there are no more devices and volumes separately, but you can still
select each of them depending on do you click on the device or on
the volume's name. Now the volume's name is after device name.
For example if disk doesn't exits in DF0-drive, there will be
empty after DF0: text.
- double clicking feature supports powerpacked files!
- on the top of file window is also shown used space of device in
percents. (Because of percent value there isn't space for texts
'used' and 'free'. The first value is used bytes and the second
one free bytes.)
- Not anymore 'reset vectors set'-notices, when ZKick, OS2.0 with
RAD or Oktagon HD-software has changed it.
- DiskInfo-command shows more info about device when only device's
name is activated from list of devices, (to get the list of devices
click Drives-gadget)
- You can add or sub protection flags in protect-command.
- Function keys can be used to execute own commands in menu three.
F1-F10 selects menus 1-10, F1-F7 with shift selects menus 10-17.
- When formatting and disk is write protected FileMaster asks to
remove protection and continue or cancel format.
Bugs fixed:
-----------
- now execute-command should work correctly, because it uses OS's
NewShell-command.
- moduleplaying works correctly. (supports PT1.1B modules)
You can also select between vertical blank- and CIA-timing.
- ShowPic has been fixed, now it should show every picture correctly.
- When using Sunmouse function like in Qmouse, memory/clock-window
doesn't disappear anymore.
- When copying to RAM: FileMaster only allocates small (64K) copy-
buffer.
VERSION 2.2
-----------
Features:
---------
'Copy'-command checks if destination disk has enough free space. If
disk is 100% full, no requester is displayed. (Because it might be
a ram-disk)
You can copy files with different name by clicking 'As'-text on
'Copy As'-gadget.
Changes in Command:
Two more string gadgets has been added, pattern and type.
$ (source) has been now changed to {$}, % (destination) to {%}.
New {?}-symbol has been added. When executing command, FM asks
text and replace it to {?}.
Example for pattern: If pattern is *.lha|*.lzh and command is
LhA e {$} RAM: Now doubleclicking lha- and lzh-archives runs
this command which extract archives to RAM:
Exmaple for type: If type is FORM????ANIM and command is ShowAnim {$}
Now you can see animation files from FileMaster by doubleclicking them.
Note1: While checking type, zeros in file are changed to 255!
Note2: Type covers only 1000 bytes from beginning of file.
Palette configuration is now on Clear-gadget.
Invert has two configuration buttons.
Added more Retry/Skip/Cancel requesters for Makedir, Rename,
Protect, Comment ect...
