- Product: CMFiler 5.36r
- Multifunction Disk/File Manager for DOS
-
- Acclaimed by DOS 6 SECRETS author Bob Ainsbury and PC Magazine's Edward
- Mendelson, CMFiler is the most versatile file manager available today,
- from any distribution medium. CMFiler offers side-by-side display of
- either file lists or disk tree structures, and supports a complete suite
- of directory and file services in either display mode.
-
- In the main file services module, the two display panels function as
- source and target for file copy, move and append. Diverse tagging
- options let you tag all files with same name, extension, or date, or all
- newer or older. Nine ordering schemes and a filename mask give added
- ease to view large directories. Delete or "trash" files in retrievable
- ~TRASH~ directory, set file attributes and change date/time stamps.
- Newer or read-only files are protected against inadvertently being
- overwritten by older or non-read-only files of same name during copying.
-
- Notepad lets you write 39 character notes on files and directories, which
- follow files when copied or moved. Print spooler lets you print files in
- the background while you perform other tasks in the foreground. Built-in
- editor lets you view or edit files -- eg, change AUTOEXEC.BAT without
- leaving CMFiler. Application launcher lets you run other programs from
- CMFiler with one or two keystrokes. Define nine function keys as your
- most-used programs for instant point-and-shoot launching. Special
- support for common compression utilities, and a quick viewer to peek
- inside compressed files for an alphabetical file list remove the drudgery
- and confusion of compressor/ extractor command line parameters.
-
- The tree module is not just a tree viewer, but contains complete suite of
- tree structure delete, copy and move operators. Look at file lists
- without leaving tree, even use file editor/viewer. Copy or move a
- directory structure "into" or "under" a target directory (there is a big
- difference!), or copy just the files, or just the directory skeleton.
-
- The most recent addition to CMFiler's long list of features is mouse
- support. Navigation is now even easier in all modules, and the most
- frequent commands appear on the "mouse bar" or in popup menus, letting
- you do 90% of what you need to without the keyboard.
-
- Extra convenience features make CMFiler irresistable. "Freshen" the
- files in one directory from another, format or mass copy a diskette with
- built-in format and disk copy functions, or fill floppies from a hard
- disk directory to create a backup set. Security features include
- optional file wipe when deleting to ensure complete destruction of
- sensitive data, optional password protection, sector slack-space filling.
-
- At $30 registration fee, CMFiler underprices as well as outperforms the
- rest, yet it is small at 120k, tight and fast because it was
- painstakingly written in 100% optimized Assembly language code. Requires
- only DOS 3 or better, and no special system requirements. Supports
- EGA/VGA 43/50-line mode and most laptop LCD displays with a variety of
- color attribute choices. Member, ASP.
