- Product: 4FILES
-
- Description:
-
- Efficient, accurate file management requires ready access to information
- about any file, especially its purpose or contents. Unfortunately, eight
- or eleven character DOS file names are too short to meet this need,
- causing you to interrupt the flow of your work to do awkward research
- about various files. No more! 4FILES not only makes such research easy,
- but allows you to save the information in a permanent note for each file.
- If you use 4DOS or NDOS (excellent replacements for COMMAND.COM), each
- note automatically remains associated with its file whenever the file is
- copied, moved or renamed. 4FILES may be fully evaluated under
- COMMAND.COM, although notes then will not be transferred during these
- operations.
-
- The ability to create and edit file notes and to have your system
- automatically keep them with their files is the basis for a quantum leap
- in file management efficiency. This ability is only a basis however, and
- an exceptional interface is needed to realize its full potential. My goal
- has been to design 4FILES to put all of this potential at your finger
- tips, with a nice complement of features, and keystroke commands that are
- easy to learn and remember. You will be the judge of my success, and
- since 4FILES is shareware by an ASP member, the fully functional program
- is available free for your evaluation. If you like it, a registration
- fee of $30 is required (includes printed manual). Shareware copies are
- brandable as registered.
-
- There are several essential elements for an efficient file manager:
-
- 1) easy inspection of the contents of a file, 2) permanent recording of
- the information obtained.
-
- 3) clear presentation of this information along with the filename and
- vital statistics of the file, in a sorted directory listing.
-
- 4) good implementation of file management operations, including access to
- third party utilities.
-
- 5) easy navigation both across drives & directories and within a
- directory. 4FILES has been designed from its inception with these things
- as priorities.
