> Moxfm is a free OSF/Motif based file and application manager 
> for generic Unix systems running X11. Moxfm allows you to
> browse your directory tree and to copy, move, link and delete
> files in an intuitive way by simple drag-and-drop actions.
> It provides context-sensitive popup menus. Directory displays
> are updated automatically in regular intervals when the
> contents of the directory changes.
> The integrated application manager provides a kind of shelf on
> which you can place your favorite applications, as well as the
> files and directories you are currently working with. It also
> allows you to access different groups of applications and files.
> User-definable file types let you specify a command to be
> executed when double-clicking on a file or dropping other files
> onto it. Last not least, moxfm can automatically mount and
> unmount special devices like floppies as you open and close the
> corresponding directories (mount points) or copy files to them.
> 
> I have written moxfm using the source code of the excellent
> Athena widgets based xfm file manager. Moxfm uses configuration
> files with the same format as xfm (except the device
> configuration file). The program is not exactly a Motif port
> of xfm, but additional features have been added, e.g.
> support for multiple application windows.
> 
> I have uploaded the sources of moxfm to
> ftp://ftp.x.org/contrib/applications/moxfm-src.tgz .
> The most recent version of moxfm and binary releases for Linux,
> HP-UX 9.x and IRIX 5.x are always available from my WWW page
> http://ips105.desy.de:8765/~mai/moxfm . There you will find screen
> snapshots as well.
> 
> If you have questions concerning moxfm or problems compiling
> or running it, e-mail me.
> 
> Have fun,
