You may make as many copies of the Program as you wish, give them
to others, upload them to any BBS or FTP site worldwide, include
them in software collections such as CD-ROM disks, distribute them
through Disk-of-the-Month (or Subscription) Distribution, and
distribute them in any other possible way, as long as you:

-- do not share your Registration Number with anyone else and
do not make copies of any printed materials from your Registration
Package, if the copy you use is a Registered Copy;

-- include all of the unmodified files, as listed in the
PACKING.LST file included with your copy. If any of the files or
the PACKING.LST file itself is missing, you should contact us, or
the dealer you obtained the Program from, to receive the complete
set of files;

// Suggested Short Description:

File Manager StepUp v.2.0 for Windows 3.1 and Windows for
Workgroups 3.11 - just makes File Manager work better.
Provides the standard File Manager's dialog boxes with additional
useful elements ('history' lists, 'verify' checkboxes, etc.);
shows the dialogs with 3D effects; brings customizeble Quick Menu
and Execute Menu with ready-to-do commands; allows to easily view,
edit, or print arbitrary files; contains a set of useful utilities
(calculating the size of directories including their subdirs,
etc.), detailed context-sensitive Help, animated logo... FM StepUp
makes the File Manager an actually user friendly application. Try
it - and you won't believe you worked without FM StepUp before.
The way software should be!

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

// Suggested Long Description:

How many times you wanted to run a program with specific
parameters through Run command of the File Manager and were forced
to type all the command line options again and again? Ever wished
the File Manager to have the ability to remember the previously
entered command lines?

How many times you copied files on a floppy and regretted not
being able to quickly turn the VERIFY mode ON to be sure that the
information has been correctly stored on the disk?

How many times you wanted to quickly view a file with a
non-standard extension (like README.NOW), and were forced to
activate the Program Manager, open the Accessories group,
double-click on the Notepad icon, click on File, then click again
on Open... So many clicks and so many seconds spent just to take a
look at a file! Why did the guys from Microsoft not make their
software a little bit more convenient? Maybe Windows 4.0 will be
finally a user friendly system?

You don't need to wait so long. Just install the File Manager
StepUp and your wishes come true! Here is the list of the features
the File Manager gets with the FM StepUp:

<> Enhanced File Managers dialog boxes, including history
lists, browse buttons, verify check boxes, etc.

<> Commands to easily create, view, edit or print arbitrary
files, not necessarily associated with an application.

<> Customizable Execute Menu provides an easy way to access
frequently used applications and perform pre-programmed
operations on currently selected files.

<> Customizable Quick Menu, instantaneously accessible with
the right mouse button, contains the most frequently used
commands and keeps track of the execution history of other
commands.

<> A number of special commands are provided to make you more
productive.

<> FM StepUp allows you to restrict certain features of the
File Manager in the same manner as you do it for Program
Manager. This is particularly valuable for use by
corporate system administrators.

<> Complete context-sensitive help is available from all
dialogs. The help file provides a complete user's guide
for FM StepUp.

<> FM StepUp is highly customizable. User can control
virtually every aspect of the FM StepUp, from choosing
it's menu name to specifying which dialog boxes to
enhance.

Try it - and you won't believe you worked without FM StepUp
before.

The way software should be!
