Rixstep

Test Drive Xfile

Xfile from Rixstep is the only file manager for OS X capable of seamlessly handling all file systems - fdesc, HFS+, HFS+ case-sensitive, UFS, volfs, ZFS. It's the only file manager capable of detailing all file information available on OS X - and offering full editing capabilities for all these system features.

And Xfile is the only file manager for OS X that shows you everything - literally everything. Without exception. You'll be amazed - perhaps even shocked - at how much is out there that you never saw before.

Xfile is the only file manager offering you the power you're accustomed to on other platforms.

Available for all OS X versions including Leopard.

Red Hat Diaries: Apple/NeXT Merger Details

Apple will maintain NeXT's commitment to cross-platform and cross-processor support, and will continue to develop, sell, and support products currently available, including those for Windows NT, Solaris, HP-UX, and NEXTSTEP. In addition, we plan to add support with Rhapsody on PowerPC processors. Cross platform support for WebObjects and OpenStep aligns perfectly with Apple's overall strategy of moving core software technologies such as QuickTime cross platform.

We firmly believe that Apple's acquisition of NeXT will increase the market acceptance for the NeXT technology in which you've invested time, resources, and money. Apple is firmly committed to enhancing, selling, and supporting this technology in the future, and to providing NeXT customers with innovative technology for cross-platform development of mission-critical, enterprise solutions.
