File Workshop aspires to be an ultra compact, portable windows application, consisting of special file tools. The application has been coded in C++ from scratch and is really small, fast and reliable. It is aimed to be more a state-of-the-art tool than a program with shining interface.

(Jan 3 2010) Since today, the "File Workshop" moved on its own domain! In the near future I am planning a major site update and then I will continue the developement of the File Workshop...
(Dec 2 2009) Unfortunately, a hard disk failure caused me to lose lots of important personal files, including source code of the "File Workshop" and also an unreleased update. So, now, I have to recreate parts and continue the project from an older backup and there will be a delay till the next update.
(Aug 2 2009) File Workshop update: you can save the "Specified locations" (requested feature).
(Jul 27 2009) File Workshop update is recommended. I made many important internal code improvements.
