January 17, 1991 Dear METZ Software User: ThreadZ Forms Alliance with METZ Software ThreadZ Software Design Group, Inc., developers of utilities for Microsoft Windows, and METZ Software, developers of shareware utilities for Windows, have announced the formation of a special alliance, the goal of which is to facilitate timely software development and provide easy access to solution-oriented products. The first result of this alliance is the incorporation of two of METZ Software's shareware programs into a retail product called ThreadZ File F/X. ThreadZ File F/X is a group of four utilities and a bonus of ThreadZ Task Manager, presented in an "a la carte" manner so as to facilitate ease of use: F/X File Manager, simplifies the create, delete, copy, rename and move functions in Windows 3.0 using an intuitive tree directory display. F/X File Find, a search program enabling users to locate files on any attached hard drive, provides for the use of DOS wildcards, specific file extensions, or even file creation dates as search criteria. F/X File Undelete provides a list of deleted files, states the likelihood of a successful recovery, and, when prompted, will attempt to undelete the chosen file. F/X Text Search allows users to search a file, path name, directory or an entire disk for a text string. A list of matching files is displayed and may be printed as a report. The ThreadZ Task Manager, a distinctive replacement for Windows' Task List, utilizes a menu which may be used to launch applications and lets you arrange your windows the way that works best for you! "A wonderful task manager and four other useful utilities makes this a must-buy for Windows users." PC Magazine, 1/29/91 ThreadZ File F/X retails for $129.95. Through March 31, 1991, however, registered users of METZ Software can order ThreadZ File F/X for $49.95. ThreadZ can be reached at 206-869-6292.
