As a file manager , they allow copying, deleting, renaming or searching for files and directories under OS / 2 and under Windows versions from NT and 9x. The program is distributed as shareware .
The program has been developed since 1993 (version 0.1) by Brian Havard, an Australian programmer. It was originally only written for the OS / 2 operating system. Since version 1.51 in 1997 there was also a Windows version in parallel for the first time.

Both its integrated editor and the integrated viewer can handle syntax highlighting and Unicode text files.
