I see the same thing with the copy of Total Commander that I downloaded the 
other day, although I haven't used it yet.

I probably won't use it, if I want to do a File Compare I will just do as I 
have always done and go to a CMD Prompt and use FC.

I'm a computer hobbyist, not a business, and I truly appreciate Programmers 
like Irfan Skiljan who make good, useful computer programs available for 
everyone who wants their program and His program doesn't have a NAG SCREEN when
it starts.

His IRFANVIEW Graphic Editor program is Freeware, He tastefully has a Usage 
Info option under the Help menu telling how He'd appreciate Donations to help 
him improve His program, but there is no THREAT about 30 days or else to shame 
me.

I remember way back in the late 1980's (my Commodore 64 days) there were 
Businesses Selling Software and there were Knowledgeable Computer Hobbyist Who 
Wrote Programs for the Fun of it, to help everyone learn about computing.

I remember when I first ran a Utility Program I got on a disk I got after a 
Copying Session with a Friend, and saw the programmer asked for $$.$$, it 
surprised me that someone would ask money for the program they released to the 
computing world.

I had never heard of Shareware at that time.

I only used a local Commodore BBS that had a few Files I could download, it 
wasn't anything like Compuserve, which I still have the package with the offer 
of XX hours Free on Compuserve that came with my C=64 PC (Personal Computer) I 
bought in March 1984.

Back to TC, FC, ZTree - I remember in Win3.1 File Manager I could open 2 
windows and move file back and forth like Ztree TC and FC (FileCommander) 
allows.

I just had a thought of something, I probably could open My Computer or Windows
Explorer and NOT run them at Full Screen but reduce one of them down to Half 
Screen and start another instance of the program again to use it like I did in 
W3.1 File Manager .

  Ed
