Introducing: File Freedom v1.5 Update
NOW with Drag and Drop File Management!
File Freedom is a fast, very inexpensive, PM file manager with an uncluttered,
easy-to-use interface. It is written with tight, efficient programming that
gives you a very fast file manager that is also small in size. Compare its
size and speed to your current file manager!
** AVAILABLE THROUGH BMT MICRO for ONLY $10.00 US **
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 re-orient the toolbar from vertical to
horizontal (and back again) at the push of a button. Two harmonious yet
distinct methods of file management are also provided - Drag and Drop for
those who prefer it, and an alternative method which is also fast and easy
(there are also hot-keys for all operations for those who prefer to use the
keyboard).
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
* Delete Sub-directories that contain files/directory trees
* Create Desktop Objects from program files with single keystroke
