This is a File system Win95-like Explorer.

Main features are :
	- highly configurable (icons, mime types, ...)
	- tree follower (directory tree follows you when entering subdirectories)
	- configurable tree (you can add link to any folder you want : Desktop, Trash,
		Home, ...)
	- support for mountable devices (with mount and unmount operations)
	- support for FTP
	- support for archive files (Tar, Zip and Rpm)
	- does not need KFM to be running (it implements its own protocols)
	- provides a set of Win95-like icons, or use KDE icons
	- use KDE mime types or personal file association
	- many features of Win95 Explorer are implemented (to much to be
		listed here).
	- internationalisation (only in french and german at this time)
	- implement threaded operation (can be killed at any time), no subprocess,
		zombies, ...
	- implement drag'n drop (XDND).
	...

To do :
	- missing Explorer features (not much)
	- more internationalisation (need translators)
	- some minor improvements

I need TESTERS and FEEDBACK. If you tested it and like it (or not)
just send me a e-mail to tell me what's good or not, what should
be done or removed, or just to give me your impressions.

Requirements
------------
	KDE 1.1
	Qt 1.41 (or higher)

Tested uner Solaris 2.5.1 and Linux. Not tested under libc5-based system,
there will be probably some compilation problems. If so, report them.



Installation
------------

like usual :
	./configure
	make
	make install (as root)

2 useful flags when configuring :
	--enable-optimization : "-O2" switch
	--disable-exceptions : "-fno-exceptions -fno-rtti" switch


History
-------

KFM is great, don't blame me with that. I didn't write this application because
I don't find KFM a good application. I know KFM exists and don't send me mails
with "what's wrong with kfm ?".
I was used to Win95 explorer and kfm lacks some of its usable features. Here's
my point of view :

1) this was an exercise for me, and a hobby
2) I really missed a tree follower in kfm
3) I wanted to configure my tree to add what I want (folders, devices, ftp, ...)
4) I wanted only one window open to move/copy with drag'n drop (without a tree
   follower, it's really difficult)
5) I missed some little very useful features from Win95 Explorer like :
	- rename file "online"
	- change file view (small/big icons) without rescanning all the directory
	...
