OPERATOR(1)

NAME
operator - File and Application Manager

SYNOPSIS

operator

DESCRIPTION
The Operator package provides a simple and comfortable Application and files management. Here is a list of the Operator features:
Drag and Drop - Copy/Move/Change dir/Print and more.
Directory Views - List/Tree/Icons with regular expression filtering.
Applications Groups - User defined applications, grouped into user defined groups.
xterm - Xterm windows with defined buttons and menus.
The command used for starting up the Operator package is simply 'operator'. The Operator start by default with five different windows. The user can choose to startup with different set of windows, as described in the init file. The first window is the Control window. This window contains a icon for each active Operator window. Double-click on such icon will raise the window. There are few buttons that activate different actions (the list will be updated in the future releases). The Quit button will quit from the Operator program, closing all windows. The xterm button opens a xterm window, inside an Operator window that adds few buttons to the xterm window.
The Control window also has menubar with some items. The Windows Item is common to all the windows in the Operator application, choosing a window type from the the Windows menu will open a window from the requested type. If there is a selection of a file or directory the opened window will show the wanted directory (if file, show its directory).

BUGS
There are many bugs for sure :-) but I didn't find all of them yet although I checked this program many times. I have a list of known bugs and I'll wait for updated from you to the list (more bugs reports or bug fixes).

Please report any mismatch between the documents and the running system. I'll appreciate code updates that fixes the bugs. If possible try using the 'Operator / Control-Window / File / Send-Mail'.
