IIRC filedir.js was some quick thing I hacked together to read the file library
 stuff.  filebase.js is a
more efficient one that Deuce made; I think I fixed a bug or two in it later
on.

filebrowser.js might actually be a filesystem browser.  I think it's a library.
  I believe it's used as
the browser module in ANSIView.

filearea-lb.js would be the thing that actually browses file
libraries/directories.  I think it's okay
but needs some stuff added to it.  Kind of a 90% finished project, but usable.

I believe file_size.js is for converting file sizes to more human-friendly
strings (1Mb, 100Kb, etc.)
