I used that too,  but it falls over when you have more than 700-some-odd
files in a directory.  It simply won't display them all.  Switched to
InspectA,  which I still use a lot,  but that has a problem (in the OS/2
version at least) when there's more than 2G of free space.

It makes some aspects of things manageable,  but GUIs tend to get in the way more...

 BB> Hey, you can cook over a open fire, but a microwave is nice.:) 

For some things,  but I sure wouldn't want that to be my *only* option for cooking!
