It has two parts: + + 1. A tool that sits as a layer between the shell and X terminal, + keeping track of the user's current directory and command line. + 2. A graphical display which shows the layouts of directories + referenced on the command line (including pwd). + +The display reveals the results of file globs and expansions as they +are typed (hence the name), highlighting selected files and potential +name completions. + +It can also be used as a surrogate terminal, where keystrokes typed in +the display are passed to the shell. Files and directories can be +double-clicked to insert their names and/or paths into the terminal. + +WWW: http://viewglob.sourceforge.net/ + +- Jean-Yves Lefort +jylefort@brutele.be |
