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
