Volume Library File Manager VlFm is some of the program I wish was the File Manager. VlFm provides most of the features needed for basic operation within the Windows environment. The major benefits of the program is the association of a program with an extension allows VlFm to show the associated Icon! Another great feature is the Flashback menu which keeps a history of anywhere you have been (up to the last 75 places/files opened!) Features: Multiple display options. small, NoRmAl and LARGE icon sizes. All the basic file operations. Rename 'in place'. Associations. WYSIWYG font menu. Drag files to copy. Copy Progress Window with cancel option. Right double click on Trash Can or window title bar to start undelete. Left double click on Trash Can text to close VlFm. VlFm 01.00.00 - Oct. 25, 1993 Descriptions from Registration Editor VlFm 00.99.04 - Oct. 20, 1993 Bug Fix when dir name contained a '.'

After making your changes, press the enter key to accept or escape to abort the rename. Sorting and excluding of the files listed. Standard sorting. Ability to not show files with a DLL extension (faster loading) or files which do not have an association in the win.ini file. Associations via VlFm. This option will also add the entry to the Windows Registration file! Good for the futures... The VlFm.ini file (litter) is no longer hidden (except from VlFm) The WYSIWYG font menu can be turned off. This allows for a faster load/startup of the program. This option appear only on the Trash can (VlFm) on the Options/Style menu.

I had planned to send you mail to both thank you for tyhe comments as well as inform you of the small update. About Aug 15, I lost my hard disk thanks to the DOS6 Defrag. It said error 2. and had cross linked the entires thing... I lost all my mail addresses from CSERV. Please write again! I still have not been able to find the cause of black icons being drawn!? Anyone have an idea? I have been using this for about a month an think its stable... I still use both the File Manager and the Program manager. This fills a void but is not, nor will I try to be the beat all to end all.... ------------------------------------------------------------------- Also: This started as a winter project, and I have not spent very much time on it since 0.92. I hope to get the program to something I want to call 1.00 by the end of the year. So far I have spend about a month of 8 hour days to get to the point you see. Including loosing about 6 day of work for lack of a backup for a 2 month period. When I run a program, and type in the name into the Run... option, I add the extension, like command.com or notepad.exe, instead of just command or notepad. That way the saved entry on the Flashback menu is either red or blue. At least when I dont find the program on the menu in the first place. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Any donations for the program is appreciated! $10-15 would be nice if you find VlFm useful!
