Hello, Emacs Community!

A Sunrise Commander (http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/wiki/
Sunrise_Commander) User had the following problem:

    I  practically  don't use the "viewer window", instead I
    use `dired-view-file' which would display  the  file  in
    the pane with convenient commands for browsing the file.
    I found a little awkward the scrolling  in  the  "viewer
    window"  (actually  for  me  there  is  another  problem
    related with my poor-sight: I use large  fonts,  so  for
    sunrise  commander  to  be  useful, I have to use a very
    wide frame. Then the "viewer window" is very  wide  with
    only a few lines(...)

    I want to get rid of the "viewer window"(...)

    Also I want to visit the selected file in a new frame.

So we worked together to redefine a few functions in Sunrise to do
precisely this. The resulting code is a new extension called
"PopViewer", now available at 
                                joseito.republika.pl/sunrise-x-popviewer.el.gz">http://joseito.republika.pl/sunrise-x-popviewer.el.gz
-- if you have the same itch, you can scratch it too :)

As usual, all comments and contributions welcome.

Cheers,
