X File Explorer
X File Explorer (Xfe) is a filemanager for X. It is based on the popular, but discontinued, X Win Commander. Xfe is desktop independent and is written with the C++ Fox Toolkit. It looks similar to Windows Commander or MS-Explorer, and is very fast and simple. It features file associations, the ability to mount/umount devices, a directory tree for quickly changing directories, the ability to change file attributes, automatic registry saving, the ability to view/create/extract compressed archives, and much more.

Still the best file-manager für Unix/Linux!
Just the Ticket
Recently took my 75-year-old mother-in-law out of the world of winviruses. Xfe provides the functionality she needs on her desktop, without the overhead of a highly integrated, highly touted "Desktop Environment".
Perfect for me
Superb addition to the aterm, clex and midnight commander.
Best of all, no need for GNOME or KDE. Lovely.
Small and beatifull
From all the file managers I have tried, xfe is the one I use. Does what I need. Thanks Roland.
