Saratoga Information Systems today released CrossPoint 
its UNIX visual file manager. CrossPoint is a full screen interface 
to the UNIX file system and has a unique dual mode user interface. 
There is a hot-key mode for regular, or power users, and a scrolling 
menu mode for novice, or casual users.

CrossPoint brings to UNIX users the ability to manipulate files and 
directories using a full screen cursor oriented approach. CrossPoint 
works on ascii terminals as well as bit mapped graphics displays. 
Crosspoint presents your files as a standard UNIX hierarchy of files, 
as a flattened hierarchy, or in a visual tree mode (graphical).

CrossPoint makes the following tedious jobs simple:

Copying, moving, or removing files or groups of files 

	Cloning  directories
	Getting complete information about a file
	Finding files of the same name in different hierarchies
	Executing user defined command strings on files or groups of files
	Showing only those files that match a given specification

CrossPoint also offers three special features. First, with a single 
keystroke, you can invoke your preferred text editor on the currently 
selected file. Second, with another keystroke, you can invoke your 
preferred shell. Third, CrossPoint has an expression searching function 
that allows you to locate files that contain the expression you specify. 

CrossPoint is a powerful tool for file manipulation intensive jobs, 
and is available now for SUN 3/50, Xenix 286/386, UNISYS, ARIX, and 
OPUS systems. Other ports, and an X Windows version are on the way.
