Description: lightweight file manager for X11
Xfe is based on the popular but discontinued X Win Commander.
It is desktop independent and is written using the C++ Fox Toolkit.
It has Windows Commander or MS-Explorer look and is very fast and simple.
The main features are: file associations, mount/umount devices,
directory tree for quick cd, change file attributes, auto save registry,
compressed archives view/creation/extraction and much more.
Included are a graphical file viewer (xfileview), an rpm package manager
(xfilequery) and a simple image viewer (xfileimage).
