- ║ Q-DOS 3 ║
- ║Disk Management║

-
- Q-DOS 3 has made file and disk management very simple. Copy, Move,
- Erase, Rename files and directories with ease. You can even move a whole
- directory and its subdirectories to another location with a few keystrokes.
- Find files quickly; change attributes of files; view and edit text file
- with the built-in G-Edit; even UNERASE files.
-
-
- This is another small program, which comes with both 5.25" and 3.5"
- diskettes. Installation is a breeze and only takes several minutes. Q-DOS
- 3 is fully configurable from the menu bar and editor to the colors. All
- can be changed to suit your tastes, and can be done very easily by even the
- novice user.
-
-
- Q-DOS 3 has full mouse support and works with Windows 3.1. It does
- NOT work in the OS/2 2.0 DOS box. I have recently read a review of Q-DOS 3
- on-line where another writer erroneously stated that it does work in OS/2.
- Evidently that writer does not have OS/2.
-
-
- G-Edit, the Q-DOS 3 built-in text editor will edit a file up to 1MB;
- or you can load up to five files in, and switch between them, move and
- resize the windows and much more. G-Edit will even bring up your last
- session the next time you start it. This feature can be turned off if you
- so desire.
-
-
- "Pruning and Grafting," is the feature whereby you move a directory
- from one location to another. This is a visual move, not one requiring any
- typing. You highlight the directory you wish to move and press P for
- prune. Next you move the arrow key to place the highlight where you want
- the new directory to reside. It is that easy. Files are handled in a
- similar fashion, you tag files you wish to copy, move, etc. Then press
- the key on the bar, and again you see the information. No guessing
- involved.
-
-
- When you first start Q-DOS 3 you see a screen that has Fkey commands
- on the left and file list on the right. On the top is the menu bar with
- its commands, while on the bottom is the date and time. This screen can be
- changed by using the Layout option. You can set it up as follows:
-
- FileXFile -- File by File splits the screen with 2 file lists
- side by side.
-
- DirXFile -- This shows you the directory tree on the left with
- the file list on the right.
-
-
- Q-DOS 3 even provides you with information on your drives and system.
- The SPACE command shows you the bytes on your drive, and breaks it down
- into total of disk, used and free. QDMEMMAP is a program that is included
- with Q-DOS 3. You can run it from a DOS prompt or from within Q-DOS 3. Here
- you get information about the memory on your system, how it is
- allocated, device drivers installed and much more.
-
-
- Gazelle offers a 60-day money-back guarantee and unlimited toll-free
- technical support. It does have pretty icons to look it, nor is it ugly.
- It does the job it was purchased for. I ask: "What do you want beauty, or
- reliability?" One person told me that they like beauty. I prefer a program
- that will do what it says. Not one that is fancy, but does not work as it
- should. You can't lose with Q-DOS 3.
