CLI collection

[David J Patrick]

Just a simple idea; "cli"
    An nCurses program that  launches an "executable browser".
It looks like a simple file manager, like mc, but it groups or filters 
executables not by location, but by environment.
   cli, nCurses, tk, gtk, kde, gnome, etc.
Sort by filename, size, resources req, pipe-able. etc
when an executable is highlighted, the man file (if it exists) is 
displayed in a panel.
If it's a script, it is displayed in another panel.
This would help remind the (curious) user what software is installed 
without going through all the various */bin directories.
It would also help the user choose the right program for the preferred 
environment.
    Great idea ? goofy idea ? Can already be done with mc idea ?
u tell me,
