File Manager StepUp <ASP> for Windows 3.1 and Windows for
Workgroups 3.11 - just makes File Manager work better. Provides
standard File Manager's dialog boxes with additional useful
elements ('history' lists, 'verify' checkboxes, etc.); shows the
dialogs with 3D effects; brings customizable Quick Menu and
Execute Menu with ready-to-do commands; allows to easily view,
edit, or print arbitrary files; contains a set of useful utilities
(calculating the size of directories including their subdirs,
etc.), detailed context-sensitive Help, animated logo... FM StepUp
makes the File Manager an actually user friendly application.

  "FM StepUp ... does all manner of clever things. It adds 3D
  effects (a la Word 6 or Excel 5) to the dialog boxes, gives you
  a command-line history in all sorts of places ... and provides
  right-click pop-up menus in a variety of useful places ... FM
  StepUp is certainly good enough to try."

     Windows User UK, June 1994


  "The standard dialog boxes gain a history list of recently used
  commands and that attractive 3D look. However ... the best thing
  about this is the pop-up menus. Right click on a file and a menu
  pops up giving you a bunch of options, like viewing the file,
  editing it, running it, printing it, and so on ... once you have
  started using it you'll never want to give them up!"

     Australian PC User, June 1994

File Manager StepUp (or, briefly, FM StepUp) is a utility that
dramatically improves File Manager. Instead of replacing File
Manager, FM StepUp simply makes it better. When you install FM
StepUp, additional commands are added to File Manager's menus,
and existing commands are enhanced.

Here is the list of the features the File Manager gets with the
FM StepUp:

o    Enhanced File Managers dialog boxes, including history
     lists, browse buttons, verify check boxes, etc.

o    Commands to easily create, view, edit or print arbitrary
     files, not necessarily associated with an application.

o    Customizable Execute Menu provides an easy way to access
     frequently used applications and perform pre-programmed
     operations on currently selected files.

o    Customizable Quick Menu, instantaneously accessible with the
     right mouse button, contains the most frequently used
     commands and keeps track of the execution history of other
     commands.

o    A number of special commands are provided to make you more
     productive: Total Size, allowing to figure out the size of a
     directory including all subdirectories; Change Date / Time,
     allowing to change date or time attributes for a file; Run
     Screen Saver; Return To DOS; Restart Windows; Reboot System.

o    FM StepUp allows you to restrict certain features of the File
     Manager in the same manner as you do it for Program Manager.
     This is particularly valuable for use by corporate system
     administrators.

o    Complete context-sensitive Help is available from all
     dialogs. The Help file provides a complete user's guide for
     FM StepUp.

o    FM StepUp is highly customizable. User can control virtually
     every aspect of the FM StepUp, from choosing its menu name to
     specifying which dialog boxes to enhance.

Try it - and you won't believe you worked without FM StepUp
before.

The way software should be!
