This is SHAREWARE. Because of low registration pays I have made two different versions of FileMaster: unregistered version for public distribution and registered one with more features. To register send a contribution of 15 USD, 30 DM or 50 FIM, then you'll get the newest registered version of FileMaster and SysSpy and next major update of them. You will get the newest version in 2-8 weeks with complete documentation. The registered version of FileMaster is only for your personal use and it includes your name, so you must NOT spread it! Your name will also be added to the list of registered users. SysSpy is program which spys task's calls to different libraries. Libraries included for example are dos, exec, intuition, powerpacker...

I cannot assure you a totally bug free operation, nor can I take responsibility for any damage caused by the program or by the misuse of it.

You can also call official FileMaster support BBS: Klondyke +358-17-6742069 (2400-14400) If somebody have Amiga Monitor v1.53 by Timo Rossi or greater with documents upload it to Klondyke. And could somebody tell me how to copy paths for new shell-windows? CHANGES IN VERSION 2.1 ---------------------- New commands: ------------- Cut Cuts a part from file and save it to other file Join With this command, a file will be joined to other file Config There is a totally different config system in this version. Almost every command has own config menu. There is no longer Config-command, only Config button, which activate config mode. Crunch Now you can also crunch files. Crunch-command uses powerpacker.library, which now support crunching. You can define efficiency and speedup buffer's size. General: -------- - FileMaster doesn't need req.library anymore. Powerpacker.library is needed only if you want to decrunch or crunch files. Powerpacker.library is copyright by Nico François - for flicker fixer users, Filemaster supports now full screen in interlaced mode. - supports OS 2.0 application icon in sleep mode - user can now change Filemaster's priority, 'to go...value' show range, double click's speed, and Filemaster's fonts etc.. - when using parent-command, user can define the number of recall dirs, so Filemaster reads previous directory from memory instead of disk - when making directories, you can define the icon file, which will be copied for directory - a totally new ShowAsc and ShowHex viewer. Smoother scrolling, also support for keypad commands (Home,end,Pg up, Pg DN). Intelace and mouse mode support. Use 's'-key to search chars. - text and graphics printing in multitasking, so you can do something else with Filemaster while it's printing. Also you can define printing parameters like printing quality and special density for cheating the printer to print each line more than two times. So if you have an old ribbon, you can still use it. When printing graphics, you can define printing direction, positive or negative, black and white, grey or color. - ShowPic-command shows overscanned pictures in center of screen. - you can re-read the contents of directory by clicking buffer's number with right mouse button - now you can define frequency, buffer size and repeat on/off for hear-command. - when you put your own commands onto gadgets, you can define command's name (max. 8 chars) and command's path separately. Now every command has it's own config (output window, WB to front, FileMaster to sleep after running) - clicking right mouse button when mouse is over gadgets equals clicking on 'Menu' gadget or pressing space. - there are no more devices and volumes separately, but you can still select each of them depending on do you click on the device or on the volume's name. Now the volume's name is after device name. For example if disk doesn't exits in DF0-drive, there will be empty after DF0: text. - double clicking feature supports powerpacked files! - on the top of file window is also shown used space of device in percents. (Because of percent value there isn't space for texts 'used' and 'free'. The first value is used bytes and the second one free bytes.) - Not anymore 'reset vectors set'-notices, when ZKick, OS2.0 with RAD or Oktagon HD-software has changed it. - DiskInfo-command shows more info about device when only device's name is activated from list of devices, (to get the list of devices click Drives-gadget) - You can add or sub protection flags in protect-command. - Function keys can be used to execute own commands in menu three. F1-F10 selects menus 1-10, F1-F7 with shift selects menus 10-17. - When formatting and disk is write protected FileMaster asks to remove protection and continue or cancel format. Bugs fixed ---------- - now execute-command should work correctly, because it uses OS's NewShell-command. - moduleplaying works correctly. (supports PT1.1B modules) You can also select between vertical blank- and CIA-timing. - ShowPic has been fixed, now it should show every picture correctly. - When using Sunmouse function like in Qmouse, memory/clock-window doesn't disappear anymore. - When copying to RAM: FileMaster only allocates small (64K) copy- buffer. - I don't remember all of them which I have fixed.... Features in registered version ------------------------------ - Configuration can be saved and it is loaded when FileMaster is started. - FFS (fast file system) support in Format, QFormat and Install commands - ShowAsc supports 4 Colors and different fontstyles. - Hear plays in multitasking, so if you want you can listen and use FileMaster at same time. - Key shortcuts for requesters, gadgets and scrolling filewindows. - Possibility to select different fonts for FileMaster and ShowAsc. - Complete document file. So these are good reasons to register Filemaster!!!
