About:

  NE File Utility is a file management utility similar to File Manager

  found in Windows 3.x or DOS Shell found in DOS 5.0. The application 

  allows you to copy/move/create/modify/rename/etc your directories 

  and files. It also gives you a visual way to navigate your hard drive

  instead of accessing items directly through the command line.



  This application came about largely because I've never really tried to

  make an application like this using QuickBasic and I figured it would

  be a fun little project to work on. Hopefully someone else can also

  find it useful.



----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Minimum System Requirements:

  IBM PC/XT or greater

  512Kb of RAM (May also work on 256Kb but haven't tested)

  *Hercules Monochrome Adapter or CGA or greater.

  **Hard Drive or two floppy drives



Note: IBM MDA may work but has not been tested yet. (Will be 

      before release). 



Note: The application will in fact run off a floppy disk (tested as low 

      as a 360Kb) but temp files will be saved where the application is

      run from so if you do not have a hard drive and only one floppy 

      drive, it will write the temp files to the newly inserted disk.

      If you have two floppy drives, the 1st floppy drive can be used to

      run the application and the 2nd drive can be managed without issue.

Command Line Parameters:



FILEUTIL [/?] [/RESET] [/XT=ON|/XT=OFF] [drive:\][path]



  /?          Displays this help screen.

  /RESET      Deletes all current temp files and configurations and 

              replaces them with their default values.

  /XT=ON      Turns on PC/XT keyboard compatibility mode for legacy devices.

  /XT=OFF     Turns off PC/XT keyboard compatibility mode for legacy devices.

  drive:\     Starts application directory view on that drive. (Default C:\)

  path        Sets the path on the directory to open (optional)



Example: FILEUTIL C:\DOS will start the application viewing the DOS directory.

Know Issues:

  * Error handler not enabled in compiled EXE form of application. This is

    due to a compilation error that will need to be resolved at a later 

    date.

  * Copying/Moving to a location with insufficient space does not produce 

    an error message. 

  * When in doubt, use /RESET command line argument to get back to working

    order. It may error out before completing but the application should

    work afterwards. (Reset is done based on order of importance in the 

    files reset, if it fails after 1 or 2, it most likely will not matter).
