browse v0.85 by Kevin Hendrickson (hndrcksn@scss14.cl.msu.edu)

Description
-----------
browse is a Be application that does the opposite of add-ons like TermHere
(by Laurent Domenech) and TermHire (by Pierre Brua). It expects to be
launched from a terminal window and sends a BMessage to the Browser to open
the requested directory or file. If you launch it from the Browser, it
just opens the root directory.

browse can be used with or without an argument. Without an argument, it simply
tells the Browser to open a window on the Terminal's current working
directory. With an argument, it tells the Browser to open the directory or file
represented by the argument. If the argument cannot be resolved, it prints
an error message and a line showing proper usage. If the argument is -h, -H
or -help you get the command usage info.

Examples
--------
browse works with absolute and relative paths. Absolute paths must start
with /boot or /<name of your boot volume>. For example any of the following
commands will open a window onto the development folder containing the BeIDE
hierarchy on my boot drive:

$ browse /BeoWulf/develop
$ browse /boot/develop
$ browse /boot/dev*  

The following line will launch the application owning the file and open the file
within it:

$browse browse.proj

Installation
------------
You should put browse in a directory that is in your PATH environment like
/boot/bin. I have it in /boot/local/bin on my machine.

Miscellaneous
-------------
The latest version of browse can be found at:

Be's ftp site and http://museum.cl.msu.edu/~hndrcksn/Be/browse.html

Since browse is so simple, there probably won't be too many improvements in
the future just bug fixes.
