Hard Disk Director v.5.0
Selected as Best DOS Shell by:
1. Shareware Magazine
2. PC Computings Guide to Shareware
3. Dr. File Finders Guide to Shareware
Hard Disk Director is a very powerful but very easy to use
Hard Disk Menu and DOS SHELL. The programs are brightly
colored and intuitively designed so that they can be easily
used by novice and expert alike. All programs load and
operate very quickly and don't require endless navigating
through menus. The hard disk menu has unlimited sub-menus
with each having up to 20 entries. The DOS shell has
directory tree and file views for copying viewing and
moving files. Advanced features of the DOS shell include
marking and copying or moving directories or directory
branches even across drives. Director can also give you a
complete file listing of every file on your hard disk or
disks up to available memory.
You can mark files in the DOS shell and then pop up the
hard disk menu over the shell and run programs with the
marked files as command line arguments. Director swaps
itself out to disk or expanded memory (user configurable)
so the memory overhead when running programs is only 2kb.
The registration fee for Hard Disk Director is $40. For $40
you get a new diskette without registration reminders, a
printed 66 page manual and unlimited technical support via
phone, mail or CompuServe.
Hard Disk Director is the only shareware DOS shell to come
with file viewers for many popular PC programs. The
current list of file viewers are:
ASCII and Hex, WordPerfect 5.0 and greater, MS Word and
Windows Write, WordStar 4.0 and greater, Word for Windows,
dBASE, FOX Pro and compatible, Lotus, Quattro Pro and
compatible, Paradox and PCX picture files.
New features in version 5 are:
1. The ability to mark files and compress them with PKZIP
or LHA/LHARC as well as view the contents of Zip files.
Besides viewing a file list of the Zip file's contents,
users can view or run a particular file in the viewer as
well as mark files and extract or delete them. This
viewer requires that the user has their own copy of
PKUNZIP for extracting files.
2. The ability to mark directories and just view a listing
of the files in the marked directories.
3. The ability to toggle from Director's tradional view of
directories on one screen and files on another to a
split screen mode with directories on the left and files
on the right.
