Hi, first, apologies if this is not the right forum for these announcements, but since this is the first time I release something under the GPL, I'm not that conversant about appropriate customs... I have written a little tool that mimicks similar programs I've seen in the Windows and OS/2 world. It is written in GUILE (a really cool tool). Without further ado, here's the start of the README: This is gtk-du, v0.5, a utility that helps you to get an overview of the sizes of directories and to clean them up by supplying a suitable GUI. The latest version can be obtained from http://www.cs.purdue.edu/homes/lutterdc/software/index.html What gtk-du is -------------- gtk-du combines the functionality of the UNIX utilities du and rm and eases the task of cleaning up directories. I get really annoyed every time I have to clean up my directories, since I find myself in the endless loop of du, rm, cd, du, rm, du ... Typically, I du each directory several times, since I forgot how big things are in there. To avoid this, gtk-du reads and caches the sizes of all directories starting at a certain directory, displays them in a nice GUI and lets the user navigate the directory tree with the mouse. The really courageous user can even remove a whole directory and its subdirectories.
