     The printed user's manual being sent to registered users as of the date
     of this file is current to Version 6.00.  Any registered users who wish
     to receive a copy of this latest printed manual may order by sending $5
     to NoVaSoft.  This essentially covers our printing and mailing costs.

     The following features have been added or improved since the printing of
     the CMFiler Version 6.00 user's manual:

     "QUICK-STARTING" AN ASSOCIATED FILE in Windows 95:  For PCs running under
     Windows 95, if an association exists between a file extension and an
     application, you can start the application and operate on that file just
     by putting the cursor on the filename and pressing Q.  For example,
     Windows 95 associates .WAV files with its audio WAV file player.  To
     start the WAV file player, and have it load a particular .WAV file, say
     TADA.WAV, just put the cursor on the filename TADA.WAV and press Q.

     FILE COMPARE:  Version 6.04 has a new file compare facility in the main
     services module similar to the old DOS program COMP.EXE.  Put the cursor
     on one file to be compared and press Ctrl-R (for compaRe).  Navigate to
     the second file, put the cursor on it and press Ctrl-R again.  The bottom
     of the screen will show the results of the file comparison.

     ORDERING OF FILES:  The file sort routines in the main and tree modules
     have been dramatically enhanced by use of a presort procedure (courtesy
     of Jan Hajek), and a rewrite of the main sorter.  The option to choose
     between BubbleSort and QuickSort in the Ctrl-O Order menu has been
     removed, because the speed of the BubbleSort is now so fast that another
     option is no longer necessary.  In place of this menu item is an option
     to order the directories alphabetically (the default), or by age, showing
     newest first.  This is handy, for example, for those who frequently make
     temporary directories for short-term reasons, like software testing, and
     want to be able to position on them quickly for the duration of the test.

     ENHANCEMENTS TO FILE EDITOR/VIEWER:  The file viewer has been made more
     seamless when viewing files which are too long to fit into the available
     conventional memory. When searching for a string, viewer will load and
     search the next and each subsequent section of the file until the string
     is found. The file beginning/file end commands (Alt-B/Alt-E) reload the
     first section, or sequentially load and index each section to the end,
     instead of only moving to the beginning or end of the currently loaded
     section.  Completion of string searches by Ctrl-G or Alt-F/Alt-X are now
     better announced.

     A switch (Ctrl-M) has been added to the file viewer to allow masking non-
     ASCII characters.  This helps in viewing word processing files, such as
     WordPerfect files, which have non-ASCII characters distributed
     throughout.

     The Edit Mode/Type Mode indicator is moved from the upper right to the
     lower left, to avoid obscuring text.

     The ASCII pop-up table (Ctrl-A) now initially positions the movable
     highlight to the character in the table that was at the cursor when Ctrl-
     A was pressed.  Also, the binary value of the character is shown, as well
     as the decimal and hexadecimal.

     The action of the mouse has been changed.  With movement, the mouse
     becomes visible if installed, and can be positioned anywhere within the
     working screen.  Clicking the Left Button affixes the cursor to the
     nearest permissible position in the text area (within line delimiters).
     Shift-Left pages down one page, Ctrl-Shift-Left pages 20 pages (like
     Ctrl-PgDn).   Alt-Left pages up one page, and Ctrl-Alt-Left pages up 20
     (loke Ctrl-PgUp).  Both buttons together inserts Esc.

     SPLITTING FILES IN THE FILE VIEWER:  The file viewer can now be used to
     split a file into up to 20 smaller files, at dividers inserted by the
     user.  Alt-I inserts a divider at the location of the cursor, and Alt-S
     splits the file at the dividers. The beginning and end of the file have
     pre-placed, implicit dividers.

     In order to make the command Alt-S available for "Split file," the
     command for switching from view to edit mode has been changed from Alt-S
     to Alt-D (for eDit mode).

     IMPORTING A FILE IN THE EDITOR:  The user may now import another file
     into the file being edited by placing the cursor on the line just below
     the desired insertion point, and pressing Alt-T (for imporT).

     FINDING TEXT IN EDITOR/VIEWER AFTER SEARCH IN TREE MODULE:  After a
     search for a string in the tree module using Shift-F "Findtext" feature,
     the string is passed to the editor/viewer module if called from the file
     list next to the tree display.  To search in the viewer for the same
     string, just press Alt-X (neXt).

     FLOPPY FORMATTING:  The user may now specify a volume label to be applied
     to floppies during a formatting session.

     PRINTER LINE FEED:  A printer line-feed command, Ctrl-i, issues a line-
     feed carriage return to LPT1 only.

     LONG FILENAMES FOR COPY-WITH-RENAME:  Long filename support is now
     available to the Alt-R "copy file with Rename" function.

     FILE VIEWING FROM "EDIT-NOTES" FACILITY:  The file viewer is accessible
     from the edit-Notes (Ctrl-N) facility, with the keystroke Alt-V.  This is
     handy when you are attached descriptions to files, and you want to peek
     at a text file to confirm it is the file you think.

     SHIFT-UP/DOWN ARROWS:  In the main and editor/viewer modules, the command
     Shift-Up/Down Arrow holds the relative position of the highlighted line
     at the same place on the screen, and scrolls the display up or down one
     line at a time.

     TREE DISPLAY ENHANCEMENTS:  A directory count is now included in the
     information area at the bottom of the display.  When using G or Alt-G to
     Goto files or directories, the number of hits is displayed as each letter
     of the test string is typed.  At the completion of a Shift-F Find text
     operation, the number of hits is displayed at the bottom of the screen.

     GOTO DIRECTORY ENHANCEMENT:  The key combination G then \ is equivalent
     to Alt-G, to avoid having to use the Alt- key.
     CONFIRMATORY MESSAGES AND DEFAULT VALUES:  In all file delete operations,
     the default value for the confirmatory message is now N (do not delete)
     instead of Y, to avoid inadvertent file loss. A confirmatory message has
     been added in the file freshener for the case in which no files were
     tagged, to confirm that the user wants to tag and freshen all files.

     MISCELLANEOUS:  The Del key works the same as D for deleting files or a
     directory.  The Ins key works like M (Make directory) if the cursor is on
     a directory, of F (make File) if the cursor is on a file.
