Title: Lisa File Mover 1.0 — moving the files the Lisa desktop can't see

Lisa File Mover 1.0 — moving the files the Lisa desktop can't see

A small native Office System tool: it lists, copies, renames and deletes files that have no desktop icon — Workshop sources, .PIX pictures, BBSLIST.TEXT and the like — between any two mounted disks, floppies included. No Workshop needed. Keyboard-driven (numbers plus S/D to pick source and destination, L to list, N/P to page), with a Help menu inside the tool.

Tested on a Lisa 2/10 and the LisaFPGA under LOS 3.1. Install by mounting the floppy image and dragging or duplicating the tool icon to your hard disk.

Very nice!

I see "tested under LOS 3.1" ... I wonder... are there dependencies that limit this binary to 3.1 or 3.x?

If so, do we know yet if it is difficult/impossible to create tools that work on 1.x, 2.x, and 3.x?
