- Not sure if this is overkill, but you may want to look at a utility
- off ftp called utree. It is like xtree for dos and gives a pretty
- good interface between you and the command line.
-
- i.e. type c for change directory and it will prompt for the
- directory name. It also allows you to go down through
- directories graphically using the arrow keys.
-
- You will definitely get your money's worth.
-
- Give me email if you need a hand getting it going.
-
- An archie search will give you its nearest location.
