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, including
integrated Info-Zip support. 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 toolbar
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.

and changing attributes, File Freedom also supports these features:
