    What is Rodent?

    Rodent is fast, small and powerful file manager for the GNU operating system (but it also works in BSD). That's one way to look at it. Another way is to call it a graphic shell (that's probably more accurate).

    Rodent wastes no space on menus or function.

    V is an all-purpose File Manager for Windows.

    V is not just another Windows Explorer replacement. Its main strength is its inbuilt file viewer which excels at viewing files quickly - whether they are 100 bytes or 100 gigabytes in size.

    A Dual Pane interface (optional) makes it.
