- The Zippy Graphic Shell represents a fresh new philosophy in the realm of
- Directory Utilities. I've worked very hard to plug all user-interface holes
- and to provide as much flexibility as possible.
- See if this sounds good to you:
- * Multiple PROGRAMMABLE menus
- * Menu, gadget & command-key driven: there are at least two ways to do
- everything; you pick YOUR favorite method
- * Designed to work WITH the CLI, not replace it.
- * Opens a small, adjustable window on your Workbench screen to conserve
- screen "real estate" & chip ram
- * Uses your default system font.
- * Resizing the window allows more files to be displayed (up to 43 files
- on an interlaced screen)
- * LIVE scroll bar
- * Drag-select a range of files (with scrolling)
- * Disk drive names are read from the device list, NOT hardcoded.
- * Honors the Hidden & Delete protection flags.
- * Fast directory sorting
- * Can handle up to 1000 files, though it only allocates memory for files
- actually read from a directory.
- * The mouse pointer changes to a spinning Boing ball when Zippy is busy.
- * Benchmark Modula-2 source available
