How did this happen?  I use that,  very much more than any other file manager
here,  both the dos and os2 versions...

The only problems I've noticed with it (so far?) are that the program seems to 
get real slow when it comes to displaying the files in really large
directories.  One of these days I'm going to make "unsorted" the default and
see if that's where the slowdown is.  In only one case did it ever actually
have a problem,  and I had a *LOT* of files in one directory there,  something 
over 1400 (that area has since been split up into two directories).

That's the way I felt about FM/2.  That stupid thing went into a screen that
displayed a "shower of currency" and then proceeded to exit,  after giving you 
an annoy-screen.  The first time this happened was maybe 20 minutes after I'd
installed it,  the second time within the hour and in response to me trying
for "help" to figure out some aspect of it -- that's all it took,  and the
program is not only no longer installed but no longer available in the files
section on this bbs...
