// Suggested Short Description:
File Manager StepUp v.1.0 for Windows 3.1 or later - just makes
the File Manager work better. Provides the standard File Manager's
dialogs with additional useful elements ('history' lists, 'verify'
checkboxes, etc.); shows the dialogs with 3D effects; brings the
Quick Menu with ready-to-do commands; allows to easily view, edit,
or print arbitrary files; contains a set of useful utilities
(calculating the size of directories including their subdirs,
etc.), detailed context-sensitive Help, animated logo... FM StepUp
makes the File Manager an actually user friendly application. Try
it - and you won't believe you worked without FM StepUp before.
The way Windows should be!

// Suggested Long Description:
How many times you wanted to run a program with specific
parameters through Run command of the File Manager and were forced
to type all the command line options again and again? Ever wished
the File Manager to have the ability to remember the previously
entered command lines?
How many times you copied files on a floppy and regretted not
being able to quickly turn the VERIFY mode on to be sure that the
information has been actually stored on the disk?
How many times you wanted to quickly view a file with a
non-standard extension (like README.NOW), and were forced to
activate the Program Manager, open the Accessories group,
double-click on the Notepad icon, click on File, then click again
on Open... So many clicks and so many seconds spent just to take a
look at a file! Why did the guys from Microsoft not make their
software a little bit more convenient? Maybe Windows 4.0 will be
finally a user friendly system?
You don't need to wait so long. Just install the File Manager
StepUp and your wishes come true! Here is the list of the features
the File Manager gets with the FM StepUp:
1. The following standard File Manager's dialog boxes: Run, Create
Directory, Search, Select Files, Label Disk, Format Disk, By File
Type, are getting the 'History' fields remembering the strings you
typed into the dialog boxes before. You are able now to recall any
of them and edit it, if necessary, without typing from scratch.
2. The following dialog boxes: Move, Copy, Copy Disk, Make System
Disk, are getting the 'Verify' check boxes which enable you to
easily set the verify mode on or off (with the same effect as
entering command VERIFY ON/OFF at the DOS command prompt) before
performing the operations.
3. The following dialog boxes: Run, Move, Copy, are getting an
additional button, 'Browse', in case you forgot the name of the
file to execute or the directory to copy/move the files. And the
Print dialog is now provided with 'Copy to PRN' check box, making
you able to print quickly plain ASCII files.
4. All the dialog boxes of the File Manager are now displayed
using 3D effects (like that of Excel and some other applications).
5. The main menu of the File Manager is getting a new item,
StepUp, containing a number of additional commands:
New File - to instantaneously create a new file;
View, Edit - to view or edit the contents of a file with
arbitrary extension;
Special - to perform some useful operations, such as
calculation of the size of all the selected files
and directories, including all the subdirectories;
changing the date and/or time of the selected
files; quick reloading the extensions, returning
to DOS, restarting Windows, or rebooting the
system;
Preferences - to customize the FM StepUp: change the default
viewer and/or editor; set the size of the
'history' lists; enable/disable Quick Menu; set up
the desired appearance of the dialog boxes;
Help - to get detailed information on how to use the
features of the FM StepUp.
6. The right button of the mouse is now used to activate the Quick
Menu - a set of frequently used commands, so that you are able to
spend less time executing them now.
Try it - and you won't believe you worked without FM StepUp
before.
The way Windows should be!
