Barebones Software Upgrades File Manager/2.

Barebones Software announced today an upgrade of their award-winning File Manager/2 (FM/2), file management software for OS/2 PCs, to version 2.48. FM/2 2.48, available immediately for $40.00 personal license, $80.00 single-copy commercial license, is the most comprehensive single file management package available for OS/2 today.

File Manager/2 is a full-featured file management package. Along with the standard file system object manipulations like renaming, moving, and copying files, FM/2 allows users to modify directory trees, view various types of archives, edit OS/2 extended attributes, view .INI files, kill processes, undelete files and more. The new FM/2 2.48 allows users to instantly edit the Comments extended attribute of any file system object, enabling easy and consistent file system object documentation also available to the WPS and other applications, and to customize FM/2 for different users on the same machine.

File Manager/2 can be ordered directly from Barebones Software, through BMT Micro, or via Compuserve's SWREG service. Registered users of FM/2 after version 1.47 can upgrade at no charge. Users who registered versions before 1.47 can upgrade for half the current license cost.

Announcing BlackBook v1.0 for OS/2.

BlackBook is a personal address book program designed to run under OS/2 Warp 3.0 (or later) Presentation Manager (PM). In addition to the functionality of an address book program, BlackBook features built-in Internet connectivity, a telephone dialer, and a multimedia-enabled birthday reminder utility.

BlackBook runs a database that can hold thousands of records, easily accessed through an easy-to-use single window interface. Each record will hold a person's name, a photo (in one of several supported formats, including GIF, PCX, and BMP) birthdate, two addresses, four telephone numbers, an E-mail address and World Wide Web URL, and up to 16MB of additional text.

BlackBook features an RFC821-compliant SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) client, in the form of a "mail window" that allows you to enter an E-mail message and send it. The mailer is fully configurable for compatibility with most Internet services. BlackBook can also be configured to run an external mail program, and is interoperable with MR/2 ICE 1.05 (or later).

Ever forget about someone's birthday? With BlackBook's Birthday Notification software, this need never happen again! This streamlined utility, which has a memory footprint of less than 60KB, will monitor the birth dates entered into a BlackBook database and remind you, with multimedia playback if so configured, of an upcoming birthday.

BlackBook is freeware! This means that individuals running BlackBook for their own personal use do not pay anything for its use. BlackBook is *not* "crippleware" nor a "demo version." It is a fully-functional piece of software with no restrictions on use. For commercial sites wishing to use BlackBook, a competitive license fee (as low as $20 CDN per user) is required.

BlackBook should be available at the Hobbes, Walnut Creek and probably other sites as bbk100.exe. For more information the author, Viet-Tam Luu, can be reached via e-mail.
