* FILE MANAGER FM.EXE Ver 4.6 *
*************************************
* Getting Started *
FM.EXE is a comparatively small routine, but it has many useful
functions not found in most file managers. Its size has been kept
down by careful interactive ASSEMBLY programming. Read the docu-
mentation carefully to get a full understanding of all the features
within.
Copy FM.EXE to a directory that is in your DOS search path or
just put FM.EXE in your DOS directory. No support files are required
for FM and no special installation is necessary. The "F1" help
function is built in.
To run FM.EXE, type in "FM" at the DOS prompt. It will load the
current directory of the current drive and display its listing in the
right window. At sign-on, the left window will display either the
share screen or the mouse control menu. The highlighted select bar
will be on the first directory entry.
Pressing the "Enter" key when the highlight select bar is on an
entry labled with "<DIR>" will load that directory into one of the
available directory listing windows. Active window selection may be
accomplished using the left and right arrow keys, or mouse movement.
To get the disk directory tree window available, enter Ctrl-T or
select Ctrl-T function from the menus.
Should you have an EGA/VGA gray scale monitor, put the command
"SET VID=7" in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file and FM.EXE will use black and
white only. For any set country other than USA, FM.EXE will use the
DD-MM-YY date format.
*************************************
* FILE MANAGER FM.EXE Ver 4.6 *
*************************************
■ Available Windows ■
There are five control windows selectable by the left and right arrow
keys or mouse movement. The currently active window is indicated by a
wide border. The mouse controls change, dependent on which window is
active.
* File Window 1 * Lists file data of primary directory.
* File Window 2 * Lists file data of secondary directory.
If either file window is active, all menu controls are
available from keyboard. Mouse controls as follows :
* Left mouse button = view current file
* Right mouse button = exit to menu select
* Both mouse buttons = mark / unmark files
* Mouse movement In all windows *
* Up/Down = move up/down directory list
* Left/Right = change active window if available
* Tree Window * Lists drive tree, highlighting current dir yellow. When
active, entering Ctrl-driveletter loads new drive tree.
The functions on red highlighted entry are as follows :
* "Enter" or left mouse PB = load the highlighted directory
* "F2" or right mouse PB = copy current or marked files to this dir
* "Alt-F2" = copy/backup highlighted dir and sub-dirs
* "F3" = remove highlighted directory if empty
* "F4" or both buttons = move marked files to this directory
* Total Window * Lists disk tree directory storage & file totals.
"Enter" or left mouse button loads highlighted directory.
"F3" key or both mouse buttons allow deletion of empty dirs.
* Menu Window * For keyboard guide and mouse control functions.
When active, the mouse menu is highlighted.

* FILE MANAGER FM.EXE Ver 4.6 *
*************************************
* FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTIONS *
* ^A ^B ^C ^D ^E ^F Drive? * Entering Ctrl-driveletter loads the current
directory, or tree, listing from that drive. Drives A thru H are available
from the keyboard, or drives A thru F using the mouse menu. Drives A thru
K are available from the secondary menu system.
* Alt-C * Pop-up a programmer's calculator with decimal, hex, octal,& binary
base conversion, bit shifting, and logical operator functions. It has a
32-Bit number representation and supports two decimal place integer arith-
metic calculations. Screen location may be changed using the arrow keys.
Position is retained until the program is unloaded or moved again. Mixed-
base calculations and the conventional +, -, *, and / functions are sup-
ported. Beware, though, of only integer mode calculations. Your fractions
disappear, except in fixed two place decimal.
* CALC.EXE * Functions *
* Arrows * Re-locatable pop-up screen position using arrow keys.
* F1 * Pressing F1 successively cycles through the different
base conversions of the number on the entry line.
* F2 * This key toggles fixed two place decimal on and off.
* F3 * Performs logical AND on current and next number entered.
* F4 * Performs logical OR on current and next number entered.
* F5 * Performs logical XOR on current and next number entered.
* F6 * Performs logical NOT(invert) on the current entry.
* F7 * Performs BIT SHIFT LEFT on current entry.
* F8 * Performs BIT SHIFT RIGHT on current entry.
* F9 * Changes the SIGN of current entry.
* F10 * Clears the entry line.
* Shift-F10* Clears the calculator.
* Alt-D * Pop-up an internal calendar display. The screen position may be
changed and is retained for next call-up. Popcal will always display the
systems current month on call-up, which may be changed as follows :
Program Functions:
Left arrow .. = back one month Right arrow . = forward one month
Down arrow .. = back one year Up arrow .... = forWard one year
Ctrl/Rt arrow = get current month Ctrl/Pg down. = move to bottom line
Page up ..... = move up one line Page down ... = move down one line
Home ........ = left one column End ......... = move right one col
Ctrl/home ... = move to far left Ctrl/End .... = move to far right
Ctrl/Pg up .. = move to top line Esc ......... = exit calendar
*************************************
* FILE MANAGER FM.EXE Ver 4.6 *
*************************************
* FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTIONS *
* Name Ext Size Date Inv Off * Entering the letter N, E, S, or D sorts the
active directory in the selected mode, name, extent, size, date. Entering
The letter I inverts sort mode, and O turns sort off. Mouse menu selection
using the left button is the same. The previous two sort types will be
retained and performed upon loading a new directory, until the "O" option
is executed.
* Up, PgUp, Home, ^PgUp * Use keyboard control keys or left mouse button to
* Dwn, PgDn, End, ^PgDn * move highlight pointer to desired directory entry.
* ^T-ree ^X-chg d^O-sc ^P-rog *
* ^T * Load drive directory tree of active dir window.
* ^X * Exchange primary & secondary dir windows.
* ^O,Alt-O,^P,Alt-P * All these functions will accept a command string
consisting of one or more commands, separated by a comma ",". These
commands will be handed to DOS one at a time. The command string may
be up to sixty-four characters long. The last fifteen strings entered
during the current session of FM, will be saved for recall, using the
up/down arrow keys.
Also available for these functions are assignable command strings
which are assigned to the function keys F1 thru F10. These may be
recalled by pressing the function keys.
* ^O * Enter DOS commands for execution. Any command that can be run
from the DOS command line may be executed here. This may be handy for
using file pack routines or for putting the current directory listing
into a file to be called in by the editor, etc.
*Alt-O* UnLoad FM and execute a DOS command. If you need more free memory
for your commands, use this function. FM will reduce its size to
less than 2K bytes before execution.
*************************************
* FILE MANAGER FM.EXE Ver 4.6 *
*************************************
* FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTIONS *
* Ctrl-P * Pass marked files to a command function. This is useful for
performing an operation on marked files only. If used in conjunction
with EDIT.EXE Ver 4.2 or later it becomes very powerful. You can enter
"EDIT /F", and all marked files will be handed to the text search
function of the editor, one at a time. The editor will prompt for a
text string entry and search options at the first file load and search
for the entered string, then enter the edit mode if text is found. You
may then edit the file, or simply exit, and the next marked file is
loaded and searched. You can use the editor's "Alt-K S" function to
save a block of text, which can then be pulled into the next file,
where the search string is found, using the "Alt-K G" function.
Selecting the search, find and replace option, with command option
"EDIT /A", will cause the editor to prompt for both character strings
and search options at first file load. Enter a number on the search
options line large enough to cover all expected occurrences of the
search string in a single file. Entering a "N" on the options line
following the number will find and replace all occurrences of a text
string in all marked files, stopping only to report number of replace-
ments in each file. Without the "N", it stops at each occurrence and
asks if you want it replaced.
After execution of this command, a Ctrl-X may be entered at any entry
stop to terminate and return to FM. The text files should be line
orientated, or EDIT.EXE will insert Cr, Lf, characters at 256 byte
intervals.
* Alt-P * Unload FM and hand marked files to a command. Use "Alt-P" in-
stead of "Ctrl-P" to free more memory for those commands that may re-
quire all of your available memory.
* ± Mrk/UnMrk ^M-ask Off/On * Use the + and - keys or left mouse button
to mark or unmark the highlighted entry. Enter or select "Ctrl-M" to
set a new listing mask for the active directory window. Enter "M", or
select off/on to toggle the current mask off or on.
*«─┘View/Load ^V-iew Type * Press the "Enter" key or left mouse button to
list the highlighted file. In list mode, use screen control keys to
browse through the file, or mouse left button to page forward. The
normal file list mode is ascii text. Hex listing mode may be toggled
on/off using "Ctrl-V" keys previous to selecting view file. If the
highlight is on a directory entry, that directory is loaded into the
active window. When highlight is on the ".." entry, the parent direc-
tory is loaded.
* Alt-V * The view function has limits on the size of a file that can be
displayed. This limit depends on file structure and list type. For
those large files beyond the limit, using the "Alt-V" function, allows
you to enter a mega-byte offset to begin view file.
*************************************
* FILE MANAGER FM.EXE Ver 4.6 *
*************************************
* FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTIONS *
* F1 Hlp Scrn ^F9 Set Date * Press the "F1" Key to select FM's help display.
Then press any key or move mouse to page through the help screens to the
desired topic. Select or enter "Ctrl-F9" to set marked files to the current
system date.
* F2 Copy /Backup /Restore * Press "F2" key or left mouse button for these
functions. If no entries are marked the copy & backup functions are applied
to the highlighted entry only. If tree is active, files go to highlighted
directory, otherwise you must then enter a destination path (i.e. d:\dir).
This path will be checked for an existing file and date of that file. FM
will not copy over a file with equal or greater date than the source file.
You can rename files using the wild card characters "*" and "?" on copy or
move functions. At path entry, the down arrow key, or both mouse buttons
will bring down the inactive directory path, if one is loaded. If a file
won't fit on the destination disk, you will be prompted to insert another.
Upon copy and restore completion the destination directory is loaded and
displayed in the inactive directory window.
For backup, enter the destination drive, with the /B option, (i.e. d:/b).
Previous to a backup copy the destination diskettes will be soft formatted.
Directories will be created on the destination disk, and the disk is marked
with a BAK?? (?? is 00 to 99) label for identification. Backup files may
be of any size and will be continued on the next diskette.
For restore, make the source directory durrent, and enter the destination
drive with the /R option (i.e, d:/r). The diskette ID is checked and must
be inserted in the same order as backed up.
* Alt-F2 Copy / Bakup / Restore * This function is available from secondary
tree window only. Press both the "Alt" and "F2" keys to select. Copy will
begin at the current highlighted tree entry and all files in that directory
and all its sub-directories, will be copied to destination drive. All other
copy and backup parameters are the same as function F2.
For restore of an Alt-F2 backup, select the root directory of diskette.
*************************************
* FILE MANAGER FM.EXE Ver 4.6 *
*************************************
* FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTIONS *
* F3 Delete /Erase Files * Press the "F3" key or left mouse button to delete
the marked or current highlighted files, or empty directories. Marking a
file twice sets a double mark for file erase mode. This mode over-writes
all file data and truncates deleted entry to zero.
* F4 Move/Rename Files * Press the "F4" key or left button to move or re-
name the marked or current highlighted files. Enter a destination path at
the prompt. This function determines by the path entered, whether to re-
name or to copy and delete files. To rename the current file or directory
, just enter a new name (i.e. newdir or newfile), with no file path. You
may use the wild card characters "?" and "*" for renaming a group of files
(i.e. *.dat or ????02.*).
* F5 Locate Files * Press the "F5" key or left button to locate a files.
Wild card characters are permitted in file name, (i.e. *.bak or my????.Fil
etc.). You may enter a drive letter and number of drives to search (i.e.
*.bak C:2). This entry searches drives C: and D: for all files with a .bak
extent. Press the "Esc" key at prompt, to load the directory in which the
last file name listed resides, into the active directory window.
