[Ann] Graphic Vision File Manager
Jason Burgon
manager application - GVFM.EXE. New to this version is:
Full SBCS DOS codepage support.
A Windows-like fully customisable "Start Menu" that allows you to set up
links to your favourite programs, batch files and text documents.
A large font for use with 1200x1024 and 1600x1200 video modes (or for those
with a visual disability).
Resisable file information pane fields.
GVFM is available from the "downloads" page of my website:
http://homepage.ntlworld.com/gvision/
Also available from the same page is my Graphic Vision(tm) Borland Pascal
application framework which includes the source code for an older version of
GVFM.

*** Does it require Windows to run or can any DOS version make usage of
it?

No, that's why I said "my DOS/Win9x/ME graphical..." :-)

Yes, but it requires XMS services, so you need to load HIMEM.SYS or some
other XMS driver. Also take a look at FastVid (also available from my
website) if you're running a PPro or PII (and possibly other CPU's as well)
since this might improve GVFM's graphics performance by a factor of 10 or
more.

*** I saw that, but past experience dictates that some authors say that,
yet it turns out that their "DOS" program is really a Windows' DOS
*utility* and requires Windows.
The reason I wanted clarification was so that I could make a decision
as to whether to add it to my DOS "Websites" directory.

*** That's no problem. Most any DOS setup from the early 1990s
forward would have such services available.

Yes, it was perhaps a little unclear. My intension was to exclude the
Windows NT line of O/S's.

Note that it's not just GVFM it could help, but all DOS applications (eg
many games) that use the Linear Frame Buffer that's available to most video
cards.

Tried Mahjong - but, it has old rtm.exe and dpmi16bi.ovl ... so it
crashes with runtime errors!

My, I never knew anyone read the small print! :-) Anyway, your wish is my
command and I've now updated my "downloads" page accordingly.

Yes, it also contains an old version of mahjong.exe for some strange reason.
Mahjong.zip has been updated accordingly.

Same thing. You can tell the difference by the "s" on the end of
"Graphic[s]".

Agreed.
