Introducing: File Freedom v1.2 Update
** NOW AVAILABLE THROUGH BMT MICRO for ONLY $10.00 US **
File Freedom is a fast, very inexpensive, PM file manager with an uncluttered,
easy-to-use interface. It is designed to be a quick and efficient utility
that requires a minimum of setup yet does not skimp on features. In fact, you
will find in File Freedom features not found in other file managers, at any
price, such as the capability to look inside a zip file WITHIN a zip file and
the ability to reorient the tool bar from vertical to horizontal (and back
again) at the push of a button.
It comes in a 30 Day Demo form that functions fully without reminders or
limitations. If it suits your needs, this Demo form can be upgraded to a
Registered form with the addition of a registration code available via Email,
Fax or mail. It also comes with an Install Program that puts File Freedom on
your Desktop quickly and easily. If you try File Freedom and it just doesn't
suit your needs, an Uninstall Program is also included to make the test drive
painless.
In addition to the basic file operations such as copy, move, rename, delete
and changing attributes, File Freedom also supports these features:
* Create directories 'on the fly' with copy/move operations
* Sliding windows
* Tool bar
* Dynamic Pushbutton descriptions on status bar
* Pushbutton support for search tool (PMSeek)
* Unlimited Viewer support
* Support for four User-Defined programs
* Support for Rexx scripts with Viewers and User programs

* Sort files by Age, Name, Date or Extension
* Drag and drop colors and fonts
* a Pushbutton for your favorite Editor
* Hot-Keys (Accelerator Keys)
* Menu bar
* Dynamic display of Total Files and Bytes Selected, Total Bytes Free on
Source and Destination, File count
* An internal Settings Notebook for configurable options
* Context Sensitive Help

which allows searches for text or duplicate files.
Added capability to create destination directories 'on the fly' for copy and
move operations.
Added a Pushbutton for 'Refresh Display'.
Added support for more User-defined programs (now four) which can be run from

directory can now be specified. Also Windows and DOS programs will start in
a windowed session.
