I have a program called ``files'' that works pretty well.  The
version I'm using is 2.1.  A newer version (2.2) was posted to the
net awhile back (I believe it was alt.sources) but unfortunately
I never did receive all 10 parts and have even lost the original
articles.

Version 2.1 has a few rough spots but works pretty well with FreeBSD
1.0.2.  Under FreeBSD-current it isn't too useful (I believe this
might be due to compatibility problems with the new curses, but
haven't had the time to track it down.)  I haven't tried it under
FreeBSD 1.1 (yet).
