Y-OpenTop has been available for some time now, and is based on OpenTop,
the FIRST iconic desktop manager for UNIX.

Files are shown as active text or icons, and gives you a full directory
browser. Files can be copied deleted, and so on, just using a mouse.

Y-OpenTop is available for a wide range of machines, including Sun, HP,
Mac, etc.

Contact me at address below for more details.

Richard.
