FileLink

Version 2.10 (23rd Jan 2000)

FileLink creates link files on an EPOC machine in a similar way that Miscrosoft Windows uses shortcuts. That is a file, which when run, will open up another file or folder.

This is especially useful if you create a folder with links to all your frequently accessed items and then bookmark this folder.

Main features:

• Create links to files, folders or programs.
• Create a 'Batch Folder' link to open up all the files in a folder in one go. (Useful after a reset or backup if targeted at a 'Startup' folder with links in.)
• Links to files can specify a program to use to open it, enabling direct opening of non EPOC files. E.g. opening HTML files with WEB, or text and book files with VReader.
