You are talking about two different programs.  The public domain SID is
a simple system monitor, which shows active tasks/libraries/device etc.  
This is the one available from newton.physics.purdue.edu.

Tim Martin's SID is a very nice directory utility, which lets you 
copy/delete/rename/move between directories, execute scripts, run programs,
display files in a variety of ways, automatic archiving/dearchiving etc.
It is very comfortable and highly customizable.  

I downloaded an early version from a local BBS, but I have not seen it
at any FTP sites, and it is not in the Fish collection, as far as I know.
