- FILE-MAN is, more or less, a mental exercise. It does (or will), however,
- have some useful features. Essentially, it's my attempt at creating a DOS
- shell. The idea is to have a menu-driven system which can do anything DOS can
- do, but a bit friendlier. In reality, there are severe limitations at the
- moment. There are a lot of plans for enhancing the program, and eventually I
- think it'll be quite useful in some ways. For now, though, I would recommend
- against throwing out your DOS manual.

- SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS AND NOTES
-
- This file manager was written on an Amstrad PC1512. This system has an 8086
- processor, composite black and white CGA monitor, and 640K RAM plus 2Mb EMS.
- There are two 5.25" 360K floppy drives, and a 49Mb hard drive card. The
- operating system is MS-DOS 3.20.
-
- At this time, you'll need about 95K to run the file manager.
-
- You'll also need GW-BASIC. The file manager was written with GW-BASIC 3.22
- and, if you want to use that, you'll want MS or PC-DOS 3.20 or higher.
- However, it's quite possible that FILE-MAN will run on lower versions of
- BASICA/GW-BASIC, in which case you can probably get by with a lower version of
- DOS.
