*********************
Presentation
X-Files is a free utility program for the BeBox (BeOS DR8).

It allows to exchange files or directories between
Macintosh or DOS media and the BeBox.

This version was validated with:
 - Macintosh floppy, Syquest, Zip, CD-ROM
 - DOS floppy

Thanks for your feedback; i really will appreciate it.

*********************
Usage

Exchanges with an external medium are achieved:
  - by Drag & drop when writing on,
  - by select + menu when reading.

Macintosh partition are automatically opened at mount time

*********************
Bugs & limitations:

- only floppy media is currently tested for DOS

- exchange with Macintosh media is slow

- When copying files to/from BeOS, the already existing files
are overwritten.

- Only Mac Data fork is handled.

- There is currently no way to stop safely a copy of a folder
which contains lots of files or subfolders

- Tool don't handle more than 25 levels of subdirectories;
each directory is limited to 500 files.

-i didn't test what happen when writing onto a full media.

- X-Files GUI is poor.

- Format is restricted to already formatted device
