The closest I can think of is atree, a shareware program I saw a
unfinished (or limited?) version of once. It's more like a browser than a
'ncd', but you get a graphical representation of the tree structure of
your disk, and you can browse thru it doing the usual stuff (display file,
copy delete, etc ...)
By the way, it's not ncd but one of the nice features of Wshell that
has been added to the shell in 2.0 is the ability to change to a directory
by just typing it's name (no need for 'cd').
And ncd has nothing to do with push and popdir, but you should check
out WShell anyway, it's very good.
(ncd just act like an evoluated cd if you use it as 'ncd dirname' (I
believe it can even correct typing mistakes by going to the directory with
the closest name to what you typed), and if you type ncd alone, it'll then
display a graphical tree structure of your disk and you can change of dir
using the arrows keys).
