I just wish someone would come out with Lotus Magellan for Win95. It had all I wanted in a file manager: n Zip file access n buncha viewers for files n indexing of all files for exact, boolean or fuzzy searches (3Mb index for 300Mb data) n instant finding of strings in filenames or contents n saveable searches, including by file name or contents n customizable synonym dictionaries, delimitation characters, etc. n multiple sorts & selects n ... and more. But, no current viewers (was frozen in 1989...), no long name support ... Had to leave it behind....

I also prefer a regular command line, as this is what I am accustomed to and another reason that I am so comfortable with Linux and OS/2, though a GUI is still nice for a lot of other tasks. I think that it's also because Windows users are bigtime mouse users, but you don't "always" need a mouse in OS/2, or especially Linux. Just 2? again. Paul
