I've posted two Ada apps (MS Windows) at home.comcast.net/~twmoran
Shelves a graphic visualization of files on disk - useful
Orbitals a dynamic visualization of hydrogen electron orbitals - fun

For viewing files in Microsoft Windows disk volumes, there is
SequoiaView which is more impressive than Shelves:

Some people prefer subdivided rectangles. I find shelves with
folders lying on them, and files piled on their folder, better
for this application.

Based on user feedback, I've posted an improved version of Shelves at
home.comcast.net/~twmoran
Shelves displays directories/folders as horizontal bars lying on shelves,
with subfolders and files lying on top of them. Length is proportional to
size so a glance shows files' relative sizes. You can highlight the
display by file name (eg, gnat-3.15p-nt.exe or *.ad?), date, attributes,
or files duplicated across directories. Chances are you will be surprised
at some of the junk you find on your disks. ;) Shelves is written in
Ada and uses the Claw Windows binding. Source available on request.
