About

xdtm is a graphical shell for X. It appears to be a file manager and application launcher combined.

Originally written by Edward Groenendaal, Ramon J. Santiago, and Lionel Mallet, circa 1991 - 1995.

It uses the X Toolkit widgets.

It comes with a standard set of XBM icon files to represent most file types. Some of the builtin application shortcuts assume #csh as the default shell, but this can be changed.

The xdtmrc configuration file has its own grammar, courtesy of a lovely lex/yacc grammar definition.
