X-Files - The Ultimate File Organizer ^(v1.43)
Page was last modified:02 Jul 99

X-Files is a graphical file management program for Unix/X-Window environment. It was inspired by the Amiga program DirWork.

This application differs slightly from the main stream file managers in that it has always only one window. On top (or bottom) of the window you have Actionbuttons^TM -area. Other main areas are the two directory listings for file related actions. You can use quick pop-up menu for basic operations. File extensions can be configured to launch any program you desire for that file.
The appearance and functionality can be fully configured according to your taste using the built-in editors.

Tested on: Intel Linux, DEC Alpha, SGI, HP-UX, Solaris
(Should work on any Unix-machine running Tcl/Tk.)
