Firstly, I'm about 80% ready to ship a beta version of a new directory
utility. This one is called "Browser", and emulates the workbench, except
that ALL files are displayed (no, no icons are used). I'm still tryiung
to decide whether to give it away or sell it. Any input?

Of course it'd be an option. If you never dragged your windows off the screen,
you'd never know it was there.
