On an aside, I recently became familiar with this project because a certain GUI for my Ten-Tec shortwave radio was written under it. It seems to use the 'xclass' toolkit which was removed from the ports tree for lack of love I guess. I had to build it from scratch. Maybe this is a different 'fox' project, or maybe they switched toolkits because I didn't see any reference to 'xclass' on their site. I thought the Fox project was dead becaue the link on the xclass site seemed dead. I've always used 'filerunner'. Again, it's one of those things that I started out with and had no reason to change. I choose it initially because of it's FTP ability which is no longer very important to me. It's not at all a Windows Explorer look/work-alike, and after a short time I found it quite a lot more usable and powerful than Explorer. http://www.cd.chalmers.se/~hch/filerunner.html It's a tcl/tk thingy. Is it 'lightweight'? I dunno.

(Always go back to 'pine' for mail, and do it remotely anyway.) I never could get happy with a terminal-mode newsreader for some reason. Nothing threaded to my satisfaction. Sylpheed was the only graphical client I found which I could make allow me to use an external editor (vim.) Pretty good software also, but the older version I was using was a wee bit unstable. <snip> Thanks, - Tom
