UFO - Universal File Operator - Product information
UFO is a file organizer of up-to-date which offers many
extras beside natural functions like copying, moving and
deleting of files and directories. In the following we would
like to introduce some of these extras.

  ■ #1401Treatment of archives like subdirectories#0003: The
    archivers #1403ARJ#0003, #1403PKZip#0003 and #1403LHArc#0003 are supported. Of course,
    subdirectories in archives are supported, too.
    NEW: #1504RAR-support#0003 for all archive functions.   
    Execute programs directly from archives (calling by
    extension is also possible), view files from archives...
    If the file "#1403file_id.diz#0003" is found in an
    archive it will be automatically extracted and displayed
    in the info window (Ctrl-L).

  ■ #1401DirectDir-Technology#0003 allows the calculation of
    the size of a directory and it's subdirectories without
    disturbing you from other work.
    Press ALT-F6 and move the file cursor on a directory.

  ■ #1401Drag & Drop#0003 (You probably know it from Windows(TM)
    or OS/2(TM)) makes it possible to copy or move files
    simply by drawing your mouse.

  ■ #1401Copying with time estimation#0003: As the only
    file organizer we know about, UFO offers you to
    estimate the time being neccessary to copy or move files
    and to display it in minutes and seconds. The
    copying of files is #1504about 12% faster#0003 than in the
    previous version.

  ■ Recognition of #1403MOD#0003-, #1403S3M#0003-, #1403MTM#0003- and #1403STM#0003-#1401Music files#0003:
    #0003UFO displays the name of the song.

  ■ Recognition of Bitmap (#1403BMP#0003)-, CompuServe (#1403GIF#0003)-, and
    ZSoft (#1403PCX#0003)-#1401graphic files#0003: Resolution and color depth
    are displayed.

  ■ #1401Power Management Support#0003 via keypress:
    If your system supports this feature you can activte it
    by pressing Ctrl-E. Hard drive, monitor etc. will be
    switched off or respectively toggled into #1403Sleep Mode#0003    
    Naturally you will not have to miss this comfort while
    using your Laptop: The #1403condition of your battery#0003 is
    permanently displayed.

  ■ #1401Security-Features#0003 have never been such important as
    today: Prevent you computer from unauthorized access -
    by UFO, of course. No matter if a curious colleague
    takes an interest of your data or your son is playing too
    much DooM(TM) - by using UFO's screen savers with
    #1403password inquiry#0003 you will make your system only for
    those accessible for which it should be accessible.
    The possibility to keep a record on all operations done
    by UFO will allow you to trace your work by reading the
    #1403Log-file#0003. By this way you are able to trace the way a
    virus may found from a disk to your hard drive.
    The #1403UFO-TSRWatch#0003 recognizes if the program very
    started remains in the memory. You can protect yourself
    from viruses this way, too.

  ■ #1401Additional programs#0003 complete the great variety
    of functions. One example is the #1403TempTerminator#0003, a
    program which takes from you the annoying and
    time-consuming work of deleting of temporary files and
    other data trash.
    Or take #1403AnimByte#0003 which informs you what kind
    of file devours the most space.
    Many useful and worth knowing details about the confi-
    guration of your PC are provided by the new UFO tool
    #1403PC Equipment#0003.   
    Or #1403AutoInstall#0003, which helps you at the
    installation of new software by taking from you
    the search for the setup program.
    These additional programs are part of UFO and can be
    run from the #1403Tools#0003-menu.

  ■ Of course, UFO offers everything you may expect from
    a modern software: complete mouse control,
    PullDown-Menus, OnLine-Help, networking capabilities,
    a SAA-conform-editor, complete configuration and an
    amazing price!

  ■ And if you really get a problem with UFO, our #1401Support-
    #1401Service#0003 will help you. No matter if on phone, by fax,
    E-Mail or in our BBS (which you can contact by both
    analog and ISDN modems).

#0101██#1401 UFO is shareware. That means you may use and test it #0102██#0901██
#0101██#1401 for 30 days.  If you  are persuaded  of UFO and  you #0102██#0901██
#0101██#1401 are wanting to use it furthermore,  you will have to #0102██#0901██
#0101██#1401 register it at the authors. That is very easy  (take #0102██#0901██
#0101██#1401 a look at ORDER.FRM) and costs ridiculous #1504$25#1401        #0102██#0901██
#0101██#1401 (commercial users: $40).                             #0102██#0901██
#0101██#1401 You will recieve  the latest version of  UFO and all #0102██#0901██
#0101██#1401 its additional tools without shareware-information.  #0102██#0901██
#0101██#1401 If  you have not been  registered  after 30 days you #0102██#0901██
#0101██#1401 must delete UFO.                                     #0102██#0901██

Of course, you can also view files directly from an
archive that way.
_\

If you do not want the file cursor to move downwards in
the file list you may deactivate the switch.
_\

_4010
Select directories
This options refers to the following functions:

  ■ Selecting group of files by NumBlock +
  ■ Deselecting group of files by NumBlock -
  ■ Inverting of selection of files by NumBlock *

If it is activated, directories are included at
calling these functions. If not directories are
ignored. (This is the SAVER method).
_\

_4011
Display file-info
If this switch is activated UFO displays
additional information at some particular files
down in the file window. If this function is not
fast enough on your system you may deactivate it.
(This may be the case at CD-ROM drives).

By now UFO recognizes the following files:

  ■ MOD, S3M, MTM, STM : Music Files
                         (Name of song)
  ■ BMP, GIF, PCX      : Graphic formats
                         (Resolution and color depth)
_\

_4012
Fast mouse reset
Every time a prorgam is terminated and UFO returns the
mouse has to be reinitialized.
If the switch "Fast mouse reset" is active, a so called
software mouse reset is used. This reset is much faster
and allows UFO to return much faster to the screen. However,
this fast reset is not available on every PC. So if there
are problems related to the fast mouse reset you can
deactivate it here.

over the DOS screen you can make UFO waiting for
a keypress after a program's execution.
_\

_4016
Use mouse
UFO uses the mouse if it can find a mouse device
driver in the memory. If you insist on not using the
mouse it only disturbes you. (E.g. the time to wait
after a program's execution). You may determine if
you want to use the mouse.
_\

_4017
User menu at start
This switch controls if the user menu appears at
starting UFO without pressing F2.
_\

_4018

Normally you can toggle the DOS and the UFO screen
by pressing Ctrl-O or ALT-F5. If this switch is
activated you may also use <ESCAPE>.
_\

_4019
Estimate copying time
Normally UFO estimates the time necessary to
complete the operation of copying.
For doing this it is necessary to count the files
to be copied. By displaying two bars (one for
the current file and the other one for all files)
the whole operation seems to be faster but it is
actually slower.
Consider that you can always survey the operation even
if they are more extensive.
If you do not want that deactivate the switch.

This option also refers to the drive to drive moving
of files.
_\

_4020

_\

_4024
Temp directory
Under some circumstances the space in the DOS memory
is not enough to hold all necessary data. In this case
UFO has to swap data to one of your drives (hard drive,
RAM disk, diskette). This data is stored in the directory

of course.

If you do not enter a path here UFO uses the path specified
in the enviroment variables TEMP or TMP.

Create list file
At "Name of list file" you enter the filename in which
UFO is to write all located files.
The text fields "Text before/behind filename" are of
special interrest if you want to use the list file
as a batch.
Therefore the list file's extension must be "BAT". At
"Text before filename" you could enter e.g. the dos
command "type" to display all files in the list.
At "Text behind filename" the option "| more" could be
useful to make "type" display the files pagewise.
