Download Directory Opus 9.1.1.5

A few days ago, Gpsoftware updated its Directory Opus file manager to version 9.1.1.5. The program is similar to Total Commander, but much more extensive. Directory Opus has its origins on the Commodore Amiga, where it was extremely popular in the early 1990s. In 1994 developer Jonathan Potter teamed up with Greg Perry and the program has been published by Gpsoftware ever since.

Directory Opus is versatile and extremely configurable, and therein lies the problem, because the program can certainly seem a bit complex for novice users. Directory Opus runs on Windows 2000, XP and Vista and is available in a 32-bit and 64-bit version. The program can be tested for no less than sixty days, after which a license of 51 euros will have to be purchased. More information about Directory Opus 9 can be found in this semi-official manual are being found. Below you can find everything that has changed in the program since the previous entry in the Meuktracker:
