The OS/2-Commander v 0.81wb

This software ist Shareware
---------------------------
Nobody except me is allowed to sell this program! You're allowed
to copy it, distribute it in BBS-systems but only the complete
shareware-version and *NOT* for money! If you give/send this
program to anybody else, you're not allowed to take money for it!
Since there is no original Norton Commander for OS/2 available
(ok, there is one, but I don't like programs running on my WPS)
I decided to write my own OS/2-Commander.
The most functions are very similar to the original, but it's not
ready yet.
This ist a Beta-version! But if you like it of course you can register
this version. Just send me or my bank some money.
30,- DM (20,- US$) or more and you're allowed to use this program
more than 30 days and it would really push me to improve this nice
software.
If you don't register, you have to delete it after 30 days!
The author is not responsible for any damage made by this program.
If you don't agree with this, please delete the programm immediatly.
What the OS/2-Commander can do at the moment:
---------------------------------------------
Yeah, almost all I need :-)
Let's start at the begining:
OS2COM should be started with the OS2C.CMD.
This is the only way to change to the current drive and directory
when leaving the program.
CURSOR-KEYS (or mouse) moves through the files.
ENTER or mouse double-klick changes into the directory the cursor
is actual on.
INSERT or right mouse button marks an entry.
F1 Help
F2 User-menu
F3 Viewer
F4 Editor
F5 copy file(s) or directory.
F6 rename or move file(s) or directory.
F7 make directory
F8 kill file(s) or directory.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
! The OS/2-Commander is able to copy, move or delete a complete !
! directory tree! !
! F5, F6 or F8, with the cursor on a directory will copy, move !
! or delete a directory completely with all subdirectories! !
! So please be careful, especially when using F8 (delete)! !
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
F9 how to sort the directory
F10 or ESC to quit.
F11 open file-menu
F12 open command-menu
TAB change between left and right window.
+ (grey) select files.
- (grey) unselect files.
ALT-F1 change drive (left window).
ALT-F2 change drive (right window).
ALT-F3 start external viewer.
ALT-F4 start external editor.
ALT-F5 change to the root directory.
[somehow i like it :-)]
ALT-F7 starts the Find-function.
There you can enter the filename to search for first and than
a text to search for in these files.
ALT-F8 history of the last 20 commands.
RETURN or left mouse button starts the command, CTRL-RETURN
puts the command to the command line.
ALT-F9 Video-mode
If you've trouble with 30 or 34 lines since OS/2 2.1 March-beta
try ALT-F9 to solve it.
ALT-F10 Tree-function.
ALT-<letter> moves the cursor to the next entry starting with this letter.
CTRL-F1 to CTRL-F5 sorts the active window by name, extension, date, size
or unsorted.
CTRL-F6 to switch to a number of video modes.
CTRL-\ (CTRL-# on german keyboards) to switch to the root-directory
CTRL-A shows the listing of self-extracting archives.
CTRL-E is scrolling through the command-history
CTRL-Cursor_Up can now be used as a History-Search-Function similar to CTRL-E.
If you want to get back a special command out of the history
you can enter ther beginning of the command and get the command
back with CTRL-Cursor_Up.
CTRL-F change file attribute.
CTRL-G switches between ascending and descending sorting
Sysop-feature CTRL-I switches FILES.BBS-Info.
If ON the descriptions of files are showed if there is a FILES.BBS
in the current directory and the opposite window is the Info-window
CTRL-L switches the inactiv window between 'Info' and 'Filelist'.
CTRL-O switch of the screen (show background).
CTRL-R re-reads the directory.
CTRL-S change setup.
CTRL-U swaps left/right panel
CTRL-PgUp changes one directory up (..).
CTRL-ENTER puts the filename under the cursor to the command line.
ENTER on a filename starts the program or the program defined for this
extension in the OS2COM.INI.
You can start programs with ALT-ENTER although.
If you do so, the Commander will launch the program in a new task.
If the comand line is not empty, ENTER does the command, ESC erases
the command line.
The screen saver is automaticaly activated after the number of minutes
without pressing a key defined on the OS2COM.INI.
If defined as 0, the screen saver is not activated.
You can activate the screen saver immediately if you move the mouse cursor
to the upper right corner.
If the mouse cursor is in the lower left corner the screen saver is
deactivated.
ARCHIVES
========
The OS/2-Commander has an integrated Archive-Viewer.
Archives are showed like normal directories. Inside an
archive you can view, copy, move and delete files.
It can handle the archive types ZIP, LHZ, ARJ, ZOO, ARC and SQZ
and the self-extracting archives of ZIP, LZH and ARJ.
You have to define following in the OS2COM.INI:
----------------------------------
[Arcer]
UNZIP: C:\TOOLS\ARC\UNZIP.EXE ; decompress
ZIP: C:\TOOLS\ARC\ZIP.EXE ; compress/delete
UNZOO: C:\TOOLS\ARC\ZOO2.EXE ; decompress
ZOO: C:\TOOLS\ARC\ZOO2.EXE ; compress
LZH: C:\TOOLS\ARC\LH32.EXE
UNARJ: C:\TOOLS\ARC\UNARJ.EXE ; decompress
ARC: C:\TOOLS\ARC\ARC2.EXE
----------------------------------
The ':' has to be directly behind the switch.
If you define the complete name with path + extension, the program
is called directly without loading a command interpreter first.
This kind of call is much faster but seems not to work on all
machines. Just try it, if it's not working, strip the extension.
The following programs are needed to use the archive-viewer:
For the other arcer you will need the following programs:
ARJ: "ARJ.EXE" from Robert K. Jung and the OS/2-version "UNARJ.EXE".
The OS/2-version is only used for unpacking if you want to unpack
all files and didn't give them a target directory. That's because
UNARJ don't support any interesting command line switches.
Otherwise ARJ (DOS) will be used.
LZH: LH/2 from Peter Fitzsimmons (OS/2-version).
ZIP: The above defined programs PKZIP/PKUNZIP for OS/2 from PKWARE
or the 32Bit-version ZIP.EXE and UNZIP.EXE from InfoZip
ARC: The OS/2-version 6.0 "ARC2.EXE" from SEA.
ZOO: The OS/2-version 2.1 with above defined name from Rahul Dhesi.
SQZ: The DOS-version 1.08.3 from J. Hammarberg.
The OS/2-Commander will detect archives files with a different
than the standard-extension.
When pressing ENTER f.e. on a ZIP-file with the extension ".SA0"
OS2COM will detect a ZIP-archive and start the archive-viewer.
What the OS/2-Commander can *not* do at the moment:
---------------------------------------------------
- The internal viewer and editor are not ready yet, but you
can use them.
- The help-function is not a big deal
What's the difference between the OS/2-Commander and the Norton-Commander?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
- There is no "EGA/VGA-Mode".
The OS/2-Commander will automatically detect the number of rows and
columns and support every possible number of rows and you can
switch to a number of video-modes with CTRL-F6.
- The OS/2-Commander can copy, move and delete a directory tree.
- maybe some things will be added later :-)
What you should remenber:
-------------------------
I don't know....
Oh yeah, change the OS2COM.INI to your needs.
----------------------------------------------------------------
