---------------------------------------------------------------------
File Commander/2 v1.51 is now available.

File Commander/2 is a 32 bit text mode file manager in the tried and true
Norton Commander(tm) style. Its main features include built in archive
support, powerful user definable menu, built in text viewer & editor, tree
views and easy creation of Workplace Shell objects in addition to the usual
copy/move/delete and directory browsing functions.

Available from:
   ftp://ftp.bmtmicro.com/bmtmicro/fc2_151.zip
   http://hobbes.nmsu.edu/pub/os2/util/shell/fc2_151.zip (or /pub/incoming)

New in v1.51
============

 New Features

 o Search & Replace in editor added.
 o Full support for volumes larger than 4GB (up to 2^63 bytes).
 o Added Skip and All options to "Directory exists,merge with source?"
   warning.
 o Added function to create new archive (Shift-F5).
 o Enhanced directory compare with date/size/contents options.
 o Option added to delete confirm dialog to force delete files like "DEL
   /F" does.
 o Ctrl-Shift-J copies current file name to the clipboard.

 Minor Enhancements

 o Speed up reading ZIPs.
 o After Shift-F4, move cursor to file just edited.
 o Add ! function list to online help of editor when editing user menus.
 o If both panels are viewing archives, don't give error immediately
   after pressing F5. Instead give a path to the current panel (directory
   of archive) as the suggested destination.
 o Number of files & bytes in the Info panel are now in highlight colour.
 o Hex value of character under cursor added to edit status line.
 o New colour config dialog. Now easier to add more colour options.
 o Cursor now follows a renamed file/dir.
 o Redirection that looks like 2> (redirect only stderr) is now
   understood by FC/2's CLI.
 o Cleaned up error message in info line on drive read failure. Full text
   of error is now visible in the Info panel.
 o Right mouse button click in editor now performs a page up/down.
 o Removed 80 character limit on search text.
 o Added Ctrl-X/C/V as Cut/Copy/Paste in editor & dialogs.

Plus a whole bunch of bug fixes.
