If it is active UFO displays three columns of file names per file window. * The size of file windows is now variable. * Files can be edited in archives. * Predefined groups can be entered as file filters - e.g. graphics, text files, etc. * The file viewer is very much faster now. Moreover you can move to the right and to the left in the file. Text files created under Windows can be displayed (ANSI) * Completly new in this version: The drive overlapping search for files (with specified contents, too). * The file windows can be switched off separately (Ctrl-F1 or Ctrl-F2). * You can choose from three different color sets. * The menu line can be permanently displayed. * The menubar is now possible to be displayed permanently by Ctrl-M. * The function and status line at the bottom of the screen can be hidden (Ctrl-B). * The two file windows can be exchanged by Ctrl-U. * By pressing Ctrl-P you can switch off the currently inactive file window. + 4DOS or NDOS is recognized and supported. Please make sure the COMSPEC environment variable is set properly. + If RETURN is pressed on a file which is not linked in the extension file, it is checked out if it is an archive. If it is really an archive it will be entered. So the extension has not to be ARJ, ZIP or LZH. + The function "Change attributes" was greatly improved - especially at the treatment of more than one file. + CD-ROMs are left out at application scanning. + By now you can use batch files in the user menu. + Selections of files are saved even at changing of sort methods. + Recognition of ZIP-archives was improved. + The user menu which adapts to the size of its contents allows to enter comments started by a colon (;). + UFO saves the dos screen even while changing the text mode (25/50 lines) + '*' can be added to the extension file - this is a link to all files except executables. + If you copy files from a CD-ROM-drive (and only from a CD-ROM-drive) those disturbing read-only-attributes are being left out. + DirectDir has been improved. + Many small improvement, speed optimizations and internal changings that make UFO more save. - Error at window display in TempTerminator at multi tasking operating systems is repaired (TempTerminator's version is now 1.02D). - UFO did not exactly right if executed from a root directory. Now it works faultless. - Display error at the function "Key after DOS-command" repaired. - If you called the viewers' function "Search string" some times UFO displayed "Not enough memory".
