No matter how hard I try to come up with meaningful names for
files, when I come back to them some time later, I have trouble
remembering what those file names mean.

I would like some way to keep track of this, like keeping an index
file in each directory, with the file name, and a short description
of each file.

I am not sure how to maintain the index files however -- you can
create a file in a directory a lot of different ways.

Does anyone know of any programs that would be of any help?
(I am looking for something for Unix)
