DESCRIPTION

15       worker  is  a  graphical file manager for the X Window System.  It uses
16       the classical two-panel view of the files and directories.  It has many
17       internal  operations  while  any  external program can also be used for
18       operating on the selected items.
19       You can easily add actions to filetypes or  buttons  with  the  builtin
20       configuration program.
21       For  details  read  the  documentation available at the Worker homepage
22       (see below).
