<h3>
 <a NAME="WIW"></a>
 <i>1. What is Worker ?</i>
</h3>
Worker is a filemanager for the UNIX X-Window-system.<br>
Directories will be presented in two independent listviews (like Midnight Commander), in doing so
many additional important information will be shown. For working with the files you easily have to
select the file with the mouse or with the keyboard and perform an action on it by using a hotkey or by 
hitting a button.
<br>
There is no restriction of the number of functions. Any external program can be used for working with files.

<p>

Furthermore Worker offers a real filetype-recognition (the focus is set on the content and not on the fileextension
(but this is possible too)), the underlying database can be easily enlarged. Different actions can be defined for every
filetype for example what should happen if you perform a doubleclick on a file or how this filetype should be displayed.

<p>

Some advantages (in my opinion):
<ul>
 <li>
GUI
 </li>
 <li>
Graphic configuration <br>
can be changed at runtime.
 </li>
 <li>
Easy adding of new functions.
 </li>
 <li>
Easy addaption to other languages.
 </li>
</ul>

 <a NAME="SYS"></a>
 <i>2. System requirements</i>
</h3>

<ul>
 <li>
  <i>A running UNIX-Sytem</i>
 </li>
 <li>
  <i>A running X-Window-System</i>
 </li>
 <li>
  <i>C++-Compiler (GCC recommended)</i>
 </li>
</ul>

<p>

I have tried to observe POSIX.1, because of this a POSIX system increases the possibility 
to compile the program.

<p>
I developed Worker using the following configuration:

<ul>
 <li>
Slackware 7.0
  <ul>
   <li>
GNU/Linux 2.2.13
   </li>
   <li>
libc6 (glibc2.1)
   </li>
   <li>
X11R6
   </li>
   <li>
GCC-Compiler (egcs)
   </li>
  </ul>
 </li>
</ul>
Worker was succesfully tested on the following systems:
<ul>
 <li>
GNU/Linux
  <ul>
   <li>
2.2.5
   </li>
   <li>
libc6
   </li>
   <li>
X11R6
   </li>
   <li>
GCC-Compiler (egcs)
   </li>
  </ul>
 </li>
 <li>
Sun Sparcstation
  <ul>
   <li>
SunOS 5.6
   </li>
   <li>
GCC-Compiler
   </li>
  </ul>
 </li>
 <li>
Solaris 2.6
 </li>
 <li>
FreeBSD 2.2.2
 </li>
</ul>
