Subj : EXPLORER and SHEZ replacements

I am looking to replace a couple of programs w/OS/2 vers... one that I use
under Windows, and the other under DOS.
 
Windows Explorer - I have tried File Freedom and a couple of others from
Hobbes, and have found them severely lacking.  I have one other, Filestar/2,
which says that it expires after 30 days, and costs $45.  I am looking for
something a little cheaper.  ;-)  I am used to the Explorer that comes with
95/98, and not the newer, flashier ones, if that means anything.  ;-)
 
SHEZ - this is a DOS ZIP, etc., archive manipulator.  I actually used it
as my "Explorer" on the DOS machine, too.  File Freedom's manipulation
of archives is unacceptable.  I have also tried PMzipper, and find it
lacking & difficult to configure.  I am still able to use SHEZ, but its
screen output is a little "choppy."
 
I am not real impressed with what is available on Hobbes for much of
anything so far.  Is it kept up to date at all?  They used to have OS/2
files on tucows but, if they still have an os/2 area, I can no longer find
it.
 
Thanks.
