FMAN.TXT FMAN.EXE is a freeware replacement for the WIN 3.X file mananger. It was originally written to replace the glacially slow 3.0 file manager. Since FMAN was written, WIN 3.1 has been released and FMAN appears to work well with the new version. Though the WIN 3.1 File Manager is a big improvement over the 3.0 FM, FMAN offers some functions that are not included with FM. RmDir - Remove Directory Search - Specify a search pattern and FMAN will list only those files that match the search pattern Move - Copy files to another directory and erase the originals List - An ascii file lister that lists files in a text box and displays BMP, ICO and WMF files FMAN was written using Visual Basic and the Visual Basic Toolkit addon that provides an animated bitmap. In order to run properly you will need a copy of VBRUN100.DLL in your path somewhere (pre- ferably in your \WINDOWS directory) and you also will need to have the ANIBUTTON.VBX file in your \WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory. Since this is freeware, you don't get much (actually, any) documentation but the program seems to be fairly intuitive so give her a try. Hint: the right mouse button click selects 'ALL' files - useful when moving or deleting entire directories. Lastly, FMAN is currently running on both a Lantastic network and a Novell Netware network. If you have any problems drop me a note. I don't provide support but I do upload modifications occassionally. Paul Dubinsky Minimalist Software.
