- UTIL MAR91 QFILER JAMESTOWN FILE DIRECTORY MANAGEMENT
- FILES: qfil31le.sdn
-
- Update
-
- (Obtained directly from the author's support BBS)
-
- QFiler is an easy file management system that opens two
- windows betwen directories or disks. Supports tag, point and
- shoot, archivers your edit, a file viewer ans more.
-
- NEW LHA.EXE SUPPORTED:
- ----------------------
- The file compression utility LHARC.EXE is now distributed as
- LHA.EXE. This version of QFILER (QF) has been tested with
- the beta 2.05 version of LHA (released as the self-extracting
- file LHA205.EXE). QF detects both LHARC.EXE and LHA.EXE, and
- utilizes the new features included in LHA.EXE if it is
- available. QF checks all directories listed in your PATH
- statement, so you can speed things up if the subdirectory
- containing LHA.EXE (and other programs supported by QF) is
- listed as one of the first directories in your "PATH="
- statement.
-
- NOTE: A bug was corrected in QF version 3.1LD which resulted
- in LHARC not being recognized.
-
-
- LHA & PKZIP SELF-EXTRACTING EXE'S MAY BE ZOOMED
- -----------------------------------------------
- Self-extracting EXE files created by PKZip, LHArc and LHA are
- treated as "normal" compressed files when Ctrl-Z (PKZip) or
- Ctrl-L (LHArc/LHA) is used. Files may be extracted, viewed
- and zoomed. It's up to you, however, to select the "correct"
- compression utility.
-
-
- EXTENDED SUBDIRECTORY SELECTION:
- --------------------------------
- The parent of subdirectory is now shown as "PARENT" rather
- than <PARENT>. This small change now guarantees the parent
- listing will be the first line shown in a QF window.
-
- Several short-cut keys have been added to QF to facilitate
- subdirectory selection: If a subdirectory is the currently
- selected line in a QF window, pressing ENTER will display
- that directory on the current side of the screen. Pressing
- the "." (period) key at ANY time will display the parent of
- the current directory on the current side; pressing the "<"
- key will display the parent on the left side, while pressing
- the ">" key will display the parent on the right.
-
- Long subdirectory names created with extensions (for example,
- MYBACKUP.001) are now handled correctly in QF's PICK
- function.
-
-
- QFILER on NETWORKS:
- -------------------
- Although previous versions of QF are widely used on Novell
- networks, feedback indicates that QF sometimes attempted to
- write temporary files to the root directory of a disk -- when
- a network user may not have access to the root directory!
-
- This version of QF allows a path to be defined that QF will
- use to write its temporary files. To implement this feature
- you must create a QFPATH.CFG text file -- which is expected
- to contain a single line indicating a subdirectory path which
- may be used to store temporary files. QFPATH.CFG must be
- located in a pathed directory for which a user has access.
- The path it identifies must also be accessible by a user.
-
- For example, if the subdirectory C:\QFILER is a public
- directory, place the QFPATH.CFG file in that directory. The
- QFPATH.CFG would contain "C:\QFILER". QF will use the
- defined path to store all QFPATH.FILs (used for the PICK
- option) and to store a temporary file created when an
- ARC-ZOOM function is selected. Network managers suggest that
- a user's local drive may be a good choice to use for both the
- QFPATH.CFG file and the path it contains.
-
- NOTE: While this feature was added to solve problems on
- networks, it is very useful for non-network users as well!
-
-
- OTHER CHANGES:
- --------------
- A bug was corrected which resulted in QF's Ctrl-E function
- not working properly when running under 4DOS.
-
- This version of QF will swap itself to EMS or disk when
- shelling to DOS or executing other programs. This feature
- may be disabled by running QFINST with /SWAP as a
- command-line parameter (Windows doesn't like DOS programs
- trying to manage memory on their own). QF will release all
- memory except about 30K. NOTE: If you don't have EMS memory,
- you probably will want to disable this feature (unless you
- need large amounts of memory to run other programs from
- within QF) -- swapping to disk is relatively slow!
