Hi Raymond !

I just wanted to say thank you for creating such an incredible program 'FmEdit98'. It's more stable than MS Windows Explorer. I save a lot of time by not having to wait for a program to open to view the contents of a file. It's faster than any program I have and it's smart. I saved 47 MB of harddrive space by dumping all the useless programs that FmEdit98 could replace. You are truly a wonderful programmer. Perhaps you should teach Microsoft a few things. You have my admiration and appreciation always.

Sincerely, Sheila

Hi Raymond,

My name is Serge Beaulieu, I just want to say that I am pretty rigid about what I use for my system tools. It takes something extraordinary to make me move from the standard or generic to another tool. Well ... I must say your program kicks butt!

You have have written what explorer should have been, the fact that it is written in Delphi really appeals to me as well, overall ... this is worth paying for.

Thanks for the cool product.

No doubt you are up to your ears in congratulatory comments; you must tire of reading how useful FmEdit is and how users are substituting it instead for all other file managers. Those of us who lack the skill or education to produce such useful applications may only stand in awe of your remarkable talent and wonder at the
altruism that provokes such kindness as to make it available for everybody.

Certainly, your name is uttered in glowing terms when computer hobbyists - and general users - talk together about the most practically useful application available. I am getting on in years and cannot recall many acts of similar altruism since World War II. Somehow the planet has changed in many ways for the worse but keen hobbyists like yourself are exceptional. If it were not for people such as yourself, the fine hobby that occupies my days in retirement, that of electronic communications would'nt be so universally available. Whilst such free communication is allowed to exist there is always hope for a better world and you, Raymond Allan, have played a significant part in facilitating such freedom.

Please accept my sincere gratitude for your splendid efforts and generosity.

FmEdit is the very best File Manager that ever existed. Thank you very much for creating it. I must have over 10,000 files, which I am placing on CD-R disks and I need to be able to view two directories to make comparisons. I like being able to change views for my other projects, too. Working from within directory files seems the most logical course for computer work--at least in my opinion. Again, thank you so very much. Although I love Microsoft Company, which is located only a few miles away, I think independent software creators are essential to keep the industry interesting, alive and relevant.

I've only been using this for about 4 hours now, but unless it turns out to be unstable or something that I haven't witnessed yet*, I have to just say that this is one KICKASS program! I'm heavily into GNU/betas/etc and this by all indications seems so far to easily be one of the top 5 things I've found in the past two years, and my daily download average runs in the range of at least several Mb of programs. Most are discarded almost right away after I try them, but I'll try about anything once just to see what it is. Discovered your website from a link on the Tin_Omen website, BTW.

*seems to be beating explorer.exe already in stability. That program gives me nothing but grief when I actually ever try to do some serious file structure renovation with it, like sorting the junk out of my 600+ Mb
temporary downloads directory from time to time. - Christopher Hallaxs

Great job putting together a superior replacement for Explorer. On my system Explorer behaves erratically (e.g. scrollbars don't always appear, display doesn't refresh properly). Whether it's Windows98 or some problem with my setup I don't know, but this a fabulous utility. I've mailed in my registration. I believe in the shareware concept; you deserve the 18 bucks.

Thanks. - Joe Bongiardina

Thanks for producing FmEdit!

I have been meaning to write with some suggestions, but everything is there is the new version. (I just paid for it.)

I have been programming in Turbo Pascal since version 2, although I no longer write software for a living.

It feels good to be using such a superb utility and knowing that it is written in Delphi. (I guess I think Pascal allows programmers to write more robust applications.)

I feel that I must write at once to thank you for FmEdit98 (Version 2.0). It is a great, compact and quick tool. Congratulations. It is such a joy to use it. I wish you good progress with your work.

With best wishes,
Frank from Hamburg (Germany)
