Hmm...  Quite nice.  I didn't know it existed.  It says its been in development
for seven years!  D64 Explorer has had three days of development time.

DirMaster wouldn't have met the requirements I had when I started D64 Explorer
though.  It doesn't seem to like GEOS VLIR files very much and I needed to
dissect them and I pretty much needed ASCII dumps...  I can't find a sector
editor, either.  Oh yes, 
I found it but its opened in a strange way.  The assembler viewer insists on
ignoring the first two bytes, too which isn't right for a GEOS program.

D64 Explorer will run on all of the usual suspects and is a little more
"straight forward".  Its also open source.  I will definitely be looking at
DirMaster for inspiration for features in the future though.
