I just released Xfilemanager V0.5.0beta

------

Mircosoft filemanager and obtains Drag&Drop abilities.

Featrues:
---------
- Drag&Drop
- Singlewindow ("Microsoft"-mode) or Multiwindow display
- a few desktop operations
- supports XPM-Icons and X11 bitmaps.
- customizable filetypedetection and usersworkspace (desktop)

Changes: Version 0.1.0 to Version 0.1.1
---------------------------------------
- X11bitmap support
- runs now on SunOS 4.1.3 (thanks to Jeff Jennings)
- should work with Ultrix 4.3-machines (thanks to Andre Beck)

Changes: Version 0.1.1 to Version 0.1.2

  been fixed.

- Bugsfixes of some serious problems, especailly the workspaceeditor.
- system(3) call has been exchanged to be usable on Linux-Machines too.
- User-quotas for Ultrix. (Mail me the Imake-define and the quota-call for
  your system and I will implement it for your machine)
- The LaTeX manual is nearly finished (has been a part of some 0.1.3 version - not all)

Changes: Version 0.2.0 to Version 0.3.0
---------------------------------------
- Handles symbolic links now. (not on coherent unix)
- Icons in the workspace window are free positionable now by moving them around.

- supports now tar and compressed tar archives like normal directories.
- A packagebuilder for tar-files is included in this version.
- I made a general clean up.
- The icons and iconbuttons are now widgets.
- Simple trashcan function
- Comments are no allowed in any definition file.

Machines supported:
-------------------
HpUx, Linux
But it should run on any other machine too (perhaps with some modifications)

Compiler:
---------
Needs an ANSI-C compatible compiler (I tried acc and gcc)

Bugs:
-----
There is a very mysterious bug with the pixmaphandling. See the BUGS file for
more infos.
I think there will be many other bugs, but I haven't found them yet
(except the menu-bug under X114, but I don't know the reason yet)
Iconmovement may be a little bit slow - but I'm working on it.

Location:
---------
ramz.ing.tu-bs.de:/pub/kalkan (there are some other programs to. You are free to
  			       ftp them too).
IP-Adress: 134.169.27.10

Overview:
---------
This is the last version of this program with an own workspace. I will start soon
to write a seperate workspace-manager, which will be able to handle more sperate
workspace-windows and will communicate with nearly all of my selfwritten applications,
esspecially the filemanager. (I had to think about this a long time, but now I
have some ideas and the motivation to go on)
At least, I hope that I wont include so many errors as in the former release of
this program.

Note:
-----
Comments, ideas and bugfixes are welcome. Flames will be ignored.
I hope you will enjoy it, if not, your problem.

Special:
--------
My thanks to all gentle people who reported bugs. (They are to many to list them all here)

Bugreports, Comments and Ideas:
-------------------------------
Send them to kalkan@ramz.ing.tu-bs.de

Bye, Ove.
