BMT Micro, Inc. Announces Change of Ownership for LOOK2
Popular file/directory viewer updates to continue.
Wilmington, NC, December 19, 1996 - BMT Micro, Inc. today announced that it
has acquired the rights and ownership to the popular file and directory viewer
program LOOK2 from GCB Software.
An update has been released to reflect the change and is available on the BMT
Micro web page and FTP site (listed below). The current release of LOOK2 is
2.30d and all registered users should contact BMT Micro at keys@bmtmicro.com
for an updated license code. Please also note that your GCB Software
registration will be honored by BMT Micro for all future updates to LOOK2 as
promised when you originally registered.
LOOK2, for those not familiar with the program, is a full screen text mode
utility to view and manipulate directories and files. Files are displayed in a
list format and commands to view and manipulate the file or directory are
accessed by hot-keys. LOOK2 "out of the box" is probably sufficient for most
users. Power users will appreciate the extensive configuration options
available - almost every aspect of the program can be customized and loaded
from the command line or by a LOOK2FLAGS statement in the config.sys file.
"If you keep a sacred emergency OS/2 boot disk LOOK2 should be one of the
programs on it." says Thomas Bradford, president of BMT Micro, Inc. "LOOK2 has
been on every OS/2 machine that I have owned since I first tried the program
years ago. LOOK2 in combination with my ASCII editor of choice, QEdit for
OS/2, gives me all the power I need to do routine file and directory
maintenance. Whenever I do a new OS/2 install one of the first things I do is
copy LOOK2 into the OS/2 path."
Features include:
- Directory history (pressing escape takes you back through your
travels)
- Mouse support
- Multiple video modes
- Full HPFS/IFS directory support
- Multiple ascending/descending sort key with automatic sort
- File viewing in hex mode
- Toggle between hex/text mode
- Direct go to line or offset capability
- Define your own text editor
- OS/2 and DOS synchronous or asynchronous program execution.
- Mark, copy, move, delete, or change attributes on groups of files
and subdirectories at once.
- View inside archives
- Much more. Much, much, more. Press F1 after starting LOOK2
The latest version of LOOK2 is available at:
