Introducing: File Freedom v1.4 Update
What's New in Version 1.4
-------------------------
* You can now create a Desktop Object from a program file by simply
pressing Control-F7.
* There is a new Unzipping option (Shift-F3) which will create a new
directory on-the-fly (in the default destination) with the same name
as the zip file and unzip the files into the new directory.
* The cursor will now remember it's position in the file display during
screen updates for most operations (Sorting, renaming, unmarking,
copying etc.).
* Fixed bug in support for OS/2 System Menu keys - all system menu
keys now function properly (Alt-Spacebar, Alt-F4 etc.)
* Fixed bug in Install program which prevented installation from root
directories.
* In the "Rename" dialogue, the old file name now appears in the Entry
field so that it can be edited.
* The configured Editor will now continue to run if File Freedom is
closed.
** 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, 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:
