What is FM Applic? ------------------ At long last, the utility that Microsoft forgot to put into the File Manager, is here! Introducing FM Applic 1.0 ! FM Applic is a File Manager extension that provides you with the Applications menu. But wait, FM Applic is more than just an application launcher. It is a powerful utility that is fully integrated with the File Manager. Please read on. Fully Integrated with File Manager ---------------------------------- Files that you select in the File Manager's current directory window or search results window become the input to the application you choose. For example, a very useful application that you will want to add is your favorite text editor. Simply click on the file that you want to edit, select your text editor from the Applications menu and, presto! You are editing the selected file with your favorite editor. Auto-load Drag-Drop Applications -------------------------------- Another nice feature that FM Applic provides is the ability to start an application when the File Manager starts. Auto-loading is very useful for applications that support the "Drag-Drop" feature of the File Manager; such as a "trash-can" or a "file browse" program. Toolbar Support --------------- If you are a Windows for Workgroups 3.1 user, you will be happy to know that FM Applic takes full advantage of the File Manager's toolbar. You can associate an application with one of the many toolbar buttons provided with FM Applic. Or, you can convert an icon (from an icon file) into a toolbar button for your application. Benefits -------- Now File Manager is complete! Here are just a few ways you will benefit by using FM Applic: o Say "Good-bye" to the File Manager's Run command. o No more fumbling with "associations". o No more flip-flopping between File Manager and Program Manager. o Breathe new life into your favorite DOS programs. o Professional quality that you expect from your Windows software. o Just click on a file, click on the application, and that's it!
