BTW, my all-time favorite file management program comes from 1984!
It's called PFM. Fast, small, intuitive. But not as poweful as Valet
seems to be. Anyway, I use with with Xy all the time. Back in my
pure-DOS days I even used it as my DOS shell.
>From my perspective any file manager worth its salt should have a
quick and dirty way of viewing the contents of a file. Many of the
heavy-duty file managers won't allow me to peek into XyWrite files,
let alone EXE files.
