XmFm - An X11/Motif File Manager for OpenVMS

Description:

	xmfm is a file manager that shows files as icons in panes.
	It divides the display of a directory into three areas,
	executable files, directories and ordinary files to distinguish
	between them.  When a file is selected a range of actions can
	be performed on it. This is configurable on a per user basis.
	xmfm also allows arbitrary programs to be run from within it.

Availability

	Posted to vmsnet.sources 30 Jul 93.  The latest version is
	available for anonymous ftp from Public.TGV.COM (161.44.128.87)
	as [.MAHAN]XMFM.BCK or [.MAHAN]XMFM_SHARE.*.  The first is
	a VMS backup saveset and second is VMS Shar format.

Platforms

	This has been tested on a Sun Sparcstation and Digital's OpenVMS
	platforms.  The Sun exectuable can be compiled with either
	gcc or cc.  The OpenVMS exectuable uses VAX C for OpenVMS and
	DEC C for OpenVMS AXP.  It requires Motif 1.1 or above.

Building:
	For the Sun Sparcstation do the following:
	In most instances, it should be sufficient to type
		xmkmf
		make
		make install
		make install.man
	You may want to change some of the DEFINES flags. A list
	of these is given in the file DEFINES. You may also wish
	to change the compiler options. Make these changes in the
	Imakefile before running xmkmf.

	For OpenVMS do the following:
		@MAKE
	Currently, it is set to build based on the assumption that
	you have Motif 1.1.  If you are lucky enough to have access
	to DECwindows/Motif 1.2 (eg, you work for Digital) then
	read the comments in MAKE.COM about enabling RowColumn resizing.

	After building the image, before running it you must first
	define the logical name XMFM_PIXMAPS to point to the location
	of [.XMFM.BITMAPS] to allow XMFM to locate the icon bitmaps for
	the file and directory icons.  Also, copy the file XMFMRC.VMS to
	DECW$USER_DEFAULTS:XMFMRC.DAT and XMFM.AD to DECW$USER_DEFAULTS:XMFM.DAT.

Bugs

	Report all bugs with the OpenVMS version to mahan@tgv.com.  For
	the Sun send them to jan@ise.canberra.edu.au.

Known OpenVMS problems:

	Currently due to a bug in the DECwindows/Motif 1.1 (which I
	understand is present in OSF's Motif 1.1), RowColumn resizing
	is disabled by default.  See the bugs list under the HELP
	pulldown menu for information on other bugs.
