MTool handles LHA-archives like ordinary directories. You can doubleclick the name of a LHA-archive and its contents will be displayed in the filelist. Files can be deleted or copied to and from the archive. The layout of MTool resembles the good old DiskMaster (V1.4). MTool has been developed using the look and feel of OS2.04 and WB2.1. It works with WB2.0 (not localized, no screen mode requester); KS1.3 is not supported any more. It can be run on an own screen, a public screen or on the Workbench (resizable, position and size can be configured). Docs and/or catalogs are included in English, German, Swedish, French, Norwegian and Danish. Spanish catalogs coming soon. NEW FEATURES V2.0: - Prefs editor (no ASCII-config any more!) - Notify on file lists - Appwindow support - Full keyboard control (including listviews) - Action on files inside of archives, i.e. you can display a text file by simply double clicking it in the archive list! V2.0a: There are some very severe bugs in MTool V2.0 because I accidentially put a beta executable in the archive. Sorry about that. MTool V2.0a contains only few enhancements but about 15 bugfixes. DISTRIBUTABILITY MTool is shareware. It is freely distributable, as long as you distribute all files! Feel free to include it in public domain collections (i.e. fishdisks). REQUIREMENTS Workbench 2.04 or higher To use the archive support of MTool, you need any version of the LHA archiver (not included) To view pictures or animations, to play mods etc you need programs that can be included in the configuration of MTool. (i.e. VT, Player...) To install MTool with its installation script, you need the commodore installer (not included) RELEASE DATE March 2nd, 1994.
