The program provides two fully independent file/directory displays which enable it to provide extremely powerful, yet simple, file handling functions. The twin, or if you will, stereo display allows the user to perform file operations such as move and copy between any two drives, or directories, or combinations of drive/directories on the machine without ever typing a file or path name. Stereo Shell was also intended to be a fast, simple, and user friendly program to handle the otherwise tedious task of working with compressed files. StS takes a fresh approach to this task in that it uses a separate directory and split screen display to isolate and monitor the files associated with a compressed file. StS provides intelligent, easy to use menus for handling file and compressing functions. These menus are intelligent in that the menu that appears on the screen for the user is based on the filename extension of the file selected. For example, selecting a .ZIP file from the directory display will automatically open the file compressor operation window. The menu functions are of the "point-n-shoot" variety but also allow quick execution via the function keys. StS supports most of the standard file and compression commands through its menus and function keys. The following list is provided to give the user an idea of what StS will do.
