Introduction

This is a fork of Microsoft's Windows File Manager. It is an attempt to get the application running on older versions of Windows such as Windows NT 3.x and Windows 9x.

Currently the Unicode build successfully builds with Visual C++ 4.2, and the application runs under Windows NT 3.51 and Windows NT 4. Windows NT 3.1 is not yet supported because the application uses functions which didn't exist back then. Windows 9x support will also be tricky because there are lots of compiler errors in the ANSI build. If Windows 9x is possible though, who knows? Could it run under Win32s?

History

The Windows File Manager was originally released with Windows 3.0 in the early 1990s. You can read more about File Manager's history on Wikipedia.
