- Did you know that AmigaOS 2.x/3.x has this same feature. When a file
- requestor opens on your WB, just drop a drawer icon on it and that
- directory will be read into the file requestor.

- There is one on Aminet in util/boot/AFR_20.lha. The docs are in German
- only, but it's fairly easy to get an idea of how it works. It also
- supports the AppWindow feature and looks real nice too. It can also store
- your favorite (frequently used) directories that can be accessed from a
- seperate view of the FR. I don't use it on a regular basis, I just keep
- it around to show to others since I'm PD librarian for our local user
- group. I can't read German, but I did recognize in the docs that it is
- shareware for 30 DM. It might be worth a look. It looks really cool with
- small icons the way the Mac uses.
-
- If you try it, it comes with a single install program (no LhA archive of
- individual files), so you can't manually install it. The install prog
- will put everything in an AFR directory on the SYS: partition except for
- the icon it puts in WBStartup. It takes about 220K disk space.
