Well, there's dxue in DECwindows, which is similar to the text-oriented
PC file managers.  A couple of graphically oriented file managers are
those from Visix and IXI.  Both present Macintosh-style user
interfaces, with most ofthe power and all of the limitations of the
Macintosh shell.  They've been widely advertised, but I don't have
contact info.
