This program will provide a Graphical user interface to a lot of unix commands. I don't want to write a large manual, because it is so easy to use. First I would like to thank Dr T.C. Zhao an Mark Overmars for there great xforms library. Without this library I wouldn't even have thought about writing this utility. Also I would like to thank the people on the Xforms mailinglist who have contributed a great deal in helping me solving bugs. Why another filemanager ? ------------------------- Of all the filemanagers for unix (yes there are very beautiful ones) I've never seen one that is straight-forward. All kinds of beatiful drag & drop functions and so on. This program doesn't have al these decorative functions. I tried to make a filemanager that is as fast as possible. When you start it, some people might recognize the look. Yes it looks like the famous diskmaster on the amiga. What do I need to start it ? ---------------------------- Since Xdiskmaster uses unix commands, you will have to have them on your system. here is a list of the commands it uses: They will all have to be in the '/bin' directory sh ls cp mv rm mkdir chmod find grep egrep it alse uses the EDITOR and TERM variables to start the editor. I have spent a lot of time bugfixing, so I hope it's pretty bugfree, but of course if you find anything, please let me know. Have fun !!!
