ViewMAX

ViewMAX

ViewMAX is the file manager supplied with DR-DOS versions 5 and 6. It is based on a cut-down version of the GEM GUI.

Versions

ViewMAX/1 was distributed with DR-DOS 5. It had a very similar appearance to previous GEM desktops – two fixed-size windows. Each window would either contain icons representing directories and files, or a representation of the directory hierarchy.

ViewMAX/2 was distributed with DR-DOS 6. Various graphical improvements were made in this release, including controls with a 3D appearance and user-selectable colour schemes. Support was added for the DR-DOS task switcher TaskMAX; if this was present, applications would be launched as separate tasks, and ViewMAX could switch between them. The directory tree (if enabled) was now shown beside the list of icons, rather than instead of it.

ViewMAX/3 was intended to be the file manager for Novell DOS 7, but was never completed, though source code for a beta version exists. It would have included support for colour icons, resizable windows, and program groups.
