 some of them were modified.

 This software uses the FOX Toolkit Library (http://www.fox-toolkit.org).

 Install
 ~~~~~~~
  Type :
  ./configure
  make
  make install
  
  or use the RPM package for Redhat and compatibles Linux distributions.

 Configuration
 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  You can perform any Xfe customization (layout, file associations, ...) without editing
  any file by hand. However, you may want to know how the FOX registry works,
  because some customizations can easily be done by editing the configurations files.
  Be careful to quit Xfe before hand editing any registry file, otherwise changes could not be
  taken into account.

  The system-wide configuration file Desktop (which is a registry file) is located in /etc/foxrc,
  or /usr/lib/foxrc, or /usr/local/lib/foxrc, in the given order of precedence.

  Since version 0.82, local registry files for Xfe, Xfv, Xfi, Xfq are located in
  the ~/.foxrc/XFileExplorer directory.
  
  Every FOX application reads the file Desktop, but Xfe is specific to the X File Explorer.

  Since version 0.88, the system-wide configuration file Desktop is at first run copied
  into the local registry file ~/.foxrc/XFileExplorer/Xfe
  It is thus easier to customize Xfe (this is particularly true for the file associations)
  by hand editing because all the local options are located in the same registry file.

  PNG Icons are in /usr/local/lib/foxicons. You can change the path in Options->Change icon path. 
  (You may want to change it, if Xfe is not installed in /usr/local.)


 Build an RPM package
 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 You first need the correct fox-1.4.x and fox-devel-1.4.x packages to be installed.
 To create an RPM package from the Xfe sources, simply type :
   rpmbuild -ta xfe-VVV.tar.gz
 where VVV is the Xfe version number (e.g. 0.80).
 
 The created RPM package xfe-VVV-1.i386.rpm is usually located in /usr/src/rpm/RPM/i386, but this
 may vary depending on your distribution and/or your customizations.
 To install the created RPM package xfe-VVV-1.i386.rpm, enter the following command (as root) :
   rpm -Uvh xfe-VVV-1.i386.rpm
 
 
 Build a Debian package
 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 You first need the correct libfox1.4 and libfox1.4-dev packages to be installed.
 Extract the sources and enter the source directory :
   tar zxvf xfe-VVV.tar.gz
   cd xfe-VVV
 
 Then, build the Debian package (no need to sign the package, thus the -uc -us options) :
   fakeroot dpkg-buildpackage -uc -us
 
 And finally, install the created package (as root) :
   cd ..
   dpkg -i xfe_VVV-1_i386.deb

 Many thanks to Maxim Baranov for his excellent X Win Commander and to all people that have provided useful
 patches and advices.
