FMAN.TXT

FMAN.EXE is a freeware replacement for the WIN 3.X file mananger.
It was originally written to replace the glacially slow 3.0 file
manager. Since FMAN was written, WIN 3.1 has been released and FMAN
appears to work well with the new version. Though the WIN 3.1 File
Manager is a big improvement over the 3.0 FM, FMAN offers some
functions that are not included with FM.

RmDir -  Remove Directory
Search - Specify a search pattern and FMAN will list only those
	 files that match the search pattern
Move -   Copy files to another directory and erase the originals
List -   An ascii file lister that lists files in a text box and
	 displays BMP, ICO and WMF files

FMAN was written using Visual Basic and the Visual Basic Toolkit
addon that provides an animated bitmap. In order to run properly
you will need a copy of VBRUN100.DLL in your path somewhere (pre-
ferably in your \WINDOWS directory) and you also will need to have
the ANIBUTTON.VBX file in your \WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory.

Since this is freeware, you don't get much (actually, any) 
documentation but the program seems to be fairly intuitive so give
her a try. Hint: the right mouse button click selects 'ALL' files -
useful when moving or deleting entire directories.

Lastly, FMAN is currently running on both a Lantastic network and
a Novell Netware network. If you have any problems drop me a note.
I don't provide support but I do upload modifications occassionally.
