For all those that have never seen what the greatest file manager
of all times looks like here is a screen capture of XTree for Linux
running in a Xterm window.

All the functions you see at the bottom of the screen
can be done with a single keystroke. Many more can be done with
just two keystrokes. It will do nothing but get even better
with time. MS Windows set us back ten years.

It looks even better in a simple Linux character terminal.

I'm jazzed.

If you like that, you should see the 3d visual file system that was
available (free) for a while on SGI platforms.  Trees could be traced
with the mouse, and at the bottom, the file sizes were represented by
heights of rectangles. Different file types could be assigned different
colors.  Smooth animation while traversing down or across trees.  You
could tell it to ignore arbitrary trees and subtrees (for /bin and
stuff).  Very sweet.  Unsupported by SGI but I liked it a *lot*.
