Doug Barton 2fadfa2cfb For ports maintained by ports@FreeBSD.org, remove names and/or
e-mail addresses from the pkg-descr file that could reasonably
be mistaken for maintainer contact information in order to avoid
confusion on the part of users looking for support. As a pleasant
side effect this also avoids confusion and/or frustration for people
who are no longer maintaining those ports.

viewglob is an utility designed to complement the Unix shell in
graphical environments. It has two parts:
1. A tool that sits as a layer between the shell and X terminal,
keeping track of the user's current directory and command line.
2. A graphical display which shows the layouts of directories
referenced on the command line (including pwd).
The display reveals the results of file globs and expansions as they
are typed (hence the name), highlighting selected files and potential
name completions.
It can also be used as a surrogate terminal, where keystrokes typed in
the display are passed to the shell. Files and directories can be
double-clicked to insert their names and/or paths into the terminal.
