VFU File Manager 4.05

VFU is console (text mode) file manager for UNIX/Linux.

During the years I tried to make short attractive list of features which VFU has. Attractive as Advertising above :) and it does not seem to work... at least it didnt for me and I never liked it.

I made all possible to make VFU cover all file managing needs and offer large set of behaviour options. If I succeeded or not, you can decide for yourself but without trying I believe noone can say for sure.

Installation:

1. how to compile vfu

run `make from vfu base directory

this should compile everything

to compile each part of vfu manually do this:

-- go to `vslib directory
-- run `make
-- go to `vfu directory
-- run `make

if something goes wrong, check these:

-- if your `curses.h file locations is not `/usr/include/ncurses
you have to change this in the Makefile.

-- if vslib library is not in the `../vslib directory you also
have to change this in the Makefile.

2. how to install vfu

run `install script from vfu base directory

install script checks if all required files are available/built and then does this:

cp vfu/vfu rx/rx_* /usr/local/bin
cp vfu.1 /usr/local/man/man1
cp vfu.conf /usr/local/etc

3. how to install vfu manually

-- you have to copy `vfu in the `/usr/local/bin or
`/usr/bin directory and set mode to 755 `rwxr-xr-x
the owner is not significant ( root is also possible ).

-- there is preliminary man page ( vfu.1 ) which could be
copied to /usr/man/man1.

-- copy all `rx/rx_* tools to /usr/local/bin
-- install Net::FTP perl module if needed.
(this is used for FTP support)
