Hello

There was a class called DirectoryModel that was suppose to be in the
preview class that is not there. This class was suppose to be a view of the
files system.   Anyway,  I think the JFileChooser class may be configured as
a directory viewer.  If that doesn't help look at the FileSystemView class
in swing.  It is call the gateway into the file system.
