    From Shawn Highfield@1:229/452 to All on Thursday, May 17, 2007 15:47:08
    Hello All,

    Many years ago I used a program I can't remember the name of that allowed me to move files, import file_id.diz, adopt files, delete files etc. I can't remember if it was OS/2 or DOS based, but it was a text mode application.

    Can anyone recomend something similer that works on today's hardware?

    I use MFM (Maximus File Manager) -- it's old but it still works. DOS, of course. :-)

    Send me a note if you need it and I'll email it to you.

    You may be thinkng of MAXFILE, a text based file system manager that comes as an OS/2 version, but I don't know if there is a DOS version. I think there may be a PM version as well.

    That's the one! ;) I knew you guys would know what I was talking about.

    I found mfm_119v.zip on the internet and it appears to have the pascal source code. If that's the latest version I'm all set, if not my email is s<mylastname without brackets>@gmail.com ;)

    Thanks!

    I found this one on google as well and will test it out!

    Yup - that's the latest one! Good luck with it - it works well for me, and I still use it under Windows XP!

    So far so good! I did have to tppatch it, but everything is good now. I've almost got it ported to VPC/FPC now, once I get that I'll add a feature to import file_id.diz and it will be perfect.

    Thanks for the tip!

    Let me know when you get it fixed; I'll put it up on the Maximus Home Page.

    Later,

    Will do. :) My Pascal coding is a little more rusty then I thought it was, but that's to be expected I suppose.
