              X-Files  -- The Ultimate File Organizer --

             current version 1.21 beta, dated 29.11.1996

X-Files is a graphical file management program for Unix/X-Window
environment.

For more info see:

  http://pinhead.tky.hut.fi/~xf_adm/
  http://www.hut.fi/~mkivinie/xfindex.html

The packages are also available at:

  java.inf.tu-dresden.de:/pub/unix/x-files

IMPORTANT NOTE: If you were so quick that you managed to get the
version 1.20, it contains fatal installation bugs for new users...
They are fixed in the current version.  Sorry about the inconvenience.

======================================================================

X-Files is written in Tcl/Tk and offers e.g. the following:

*  An entirely configurable set of up to 96 Actionbuttons, although basic
   file operations can be performed even without any buttons!

*  The actionbuttons can also be configured to launch different
   applications making X-Files a nice front-end.

*  Two fast mouse button binded operations can be associated for each
   file type.
   These are examples, configure your own combinations:
   E.g. textfiles: left MB   -> your favourite viewer
                  middle MB -> editing with your favourite editor

*  Easy configuration of the previous items with built-in editors

*  Editor also for X-Files resources

*  Transparent access to tar- and zip-packages. Basic file operations are
   supported both to and from a package.

*  Easy installation with our own installation script

*  Moving within the directory hierarchy is flexible, fast and very visual.

*  A pop-up menu for a quick use of the basic file operations and also
   for other operations of your own choice

*  Directory history of the last six directories accessed

*  Safe delete with one-step undo

*  A few well thought and tested shortcut keys

*  Context sensitive pop-up help

*  Pattern select, cool looks and much more...

======================================================================

What you need to get X-Files working:

*  Unix/X-Window environment.  Developed on Linux, tested on SGI Indy,
   HP 700, and Digital Alpha.

*  Tcl/Tk 7.4/4.0 or higher.

*  3-button mouse or 2-button mouse with 3-button emulation.
