- INTRODUCTION
- ------------
-
- FileMaster is copyright ©1992 by Toni Wilen, all rights reserved.
- This is SHAREWARE. Because of low registration pays I have made two
- different versions of FileMaster: unregistered version for public
- distribution and registered one with more features.
-
- To register send a contribution of 15 USD, 30 DM or 50 FIM, then
- you'll get the newest registered version of FileMaster and SysSpy
- and next major update of them. You will get the newest version in
- 2-8 weeks with complete documentation. The registered version of
- FileMaster is only for your personal use and it includes your name,
- so you must NOT spread it! Your name will also be added to the list
- of registered users.
-
- SysSpy is program which spys task's calls to different libraries.
- Libraries included for example are dos, exec, intuition, powerpacker...

- YOU USE FILEMASTER WITH YOUR OWN RISK! I cannot assure you a totally
- bug free operation, nor can I take responsibility for any damage
- caused by the program or by the misuse of it. Still, I think you
- find FileMaster worth using even with these restrictions.

- tested with The Enforcer. FileMaster is also tested on an A500,
- A1000 and C2000.

-
- VERSION 2.1
- -----------
-
-
- New commands:
- -------------
-
- Cut Cuts a part from file and save it to other file
-
- Join With this command, a file will be joined to other file
-
- Config There is a totally different config system in this
- version. Almost every command has own config menu.
- There is no longer Config-command, only Config
- button, which activate config mode.
-
- Crunch Now you can also crunch files. Crunch-command uses
- powerpacker.library, which now supports crunching.
- You can define efficiency and speedup buffer's
- size.
-
-
- Features:
- ---------
-
- - FileMaster doesn't need req.library anymore.
- Powerpacker.library is needed only if you want to decrunch or
- crunch files. Powerpacker.library is copyright by Nico François
-
- - for flicker fixer users, Filemaster supports now full screen in
- interlaced mode.
-
- - supports OS 2.0 application icon in sleep mode
-
- - user can now change Filemaster's priority, 'to go...value' show
- range, double click's speed, and Filemaster's fonts etc..
-
- - when using parent-command, user can define the number of recall dirs,
- so Filemaster reads previous directory from memory instead of disk
-
- - when making directories, you can define the icon file, which
- will be copied for directory
-
- - a totally new ShowAsc and ShowHex viewer. Smoother scrolling,
- also support for keypad commands (Home,end,Pg up, Pg DN).
- HELP-key shows info about file (line, size...)
- Intelace and mouse mode support. Use 's'-key to search chars.
-
- - text and graphics printing in multitasking, so you can do something
- else with Filemaster while it's printing. Also you can define
- printing parameters like printing quality and special density for
- cheating the printer to print each line more than two times.
- So if you have an old ribbon, you can still use it. When printing
- graphics, you can define printing direction, positive or negative,
- black and white, gray or color.
-
- - ShowPic-command shows overscanned pictures in center of screen.
-
- - you can re-read the contents of directory by clicking buffer's
- number with right mouse button
-
- - now you can define frequency, buffer size and repeat on/off
- for hear-command.
-
- - when you put your own commands onto gadgets, you can define
- command's name (max. 8 chars) and command's path separately.
- Now every command has it's own config (output window, WB
- to front, FileMaster to sleep after running)
-
- - clicking right mouse button when mouse is over gadgets equals
- clicking on 'Menu' gadget or pressing space.
-
- - there are no more devices and volumes separately, but you can still
- select each of them depending on do you click on the device or on
- the volume's name. Now the volume's name is after device name.
- For example if disk doesn't exits in DF0-drive, there will be
- empty after DF0: text.
-
- - double clicking feature supports powerpacked files!
-
- - on the top of file window is also shown used space of device in
- percents. (Because of percent value there isn't space for texts
- 'used' and 'free'. The first value is used bytes and the second
- one free bytes.)
-
- - Not anymore 'reset vectors set'-notices, when ZKick, OS2.0 with
- RAD or Oktagon HD-software has changed it.
-
- - DiskInfo-command shows more info about device when only device's
- name is activated from list of devices, (to get the list of devices
- click Drives-gadget)
-
- - You can add or sub protection flags in protect-command.
-
- - Function keys can be used to execute own commands in menu three.
- F1-F10 selects menus 1-10, F1-F7 with shift selects menus 10-17.
-
- - When formatting and disk is write protected FileMaster asks to
- remove protection and continue or cancel format.
-
-
- Bugs fixed:
- -----------
-
- - now execute-command should work correctly, because it uses OS's
- NewShell-command.
-
- - moduleplaying works correctly. (supports PT1.1B modules)
- You can also select between vertical blank- and CIA-timing.
-
- - ShowPic has been fixed, now it should show every picture correctly.
-
- - When using Sunmouse function like in Qmouse, memory/clock-window
- doesn't disappear anymore.
-
- - When copying to RAM: FileMaster only allocates small (64K) copy-
- buffer.
-
-
- VERSION 2.2
- -----------
-
-
- Features:
- ---------
-
- 'Copy'-command checks if destination disk has enough free space. If
- disk is 100% full, no requester is displayed. (Because it might be
- a ram-disk)
-
- You can copy files with different name by clicking 'As'-text on
- 'Copy As'-gadget.
-
- Changes in Command:
- Two more string gadgets has been added, pattern and type.
- $ (source) has been now changed to {$}, % (destination) to {%}.
- New {?}-symbol has been added. When executing command, FM asks
- text and replace it to {?}.
- Example for pattern: If pattern is *.lha|*.lzh and command is
- LhA e {$} RAM: Now doubleclicking lha- and lzh-archives runs
- this command which extract archives to RAM:
- Exmaple for type: If type is FORM????ANIM and command is ShowAnim {$}
- Now you can see animation files from FileMaster by doubleclicking them.
- Note1: While checking type, zeros in file are changed to 255!
- Note2: Type covers only 1000 bytes from beginning of file.
