is there any Lua library/module that would allow me to have two directory

Any piece of code would be very useful, even if it did not have the file
managing functions (copy, rename, delete, etc) implemented, as I can add
them later.
What I need most is a working two-pane layout for the file directories,
possibly with file selection capability.
I would greatly appreciate if you could point me to some Lua project that
has already implemented a (two-pane) setup similar to the one described
above, even if not for the purposes of file management, so that I don't have
to start from scratch. I would just make the required modifications to fit
my needs.
Perhaps usable if your project is limited to Windows support. Not a
Lua project, but a point-and-shoot file manager (what they were called
before Peter Norton wrote one) that is extensible with Lua.

version 2.0 are available under the BSD license, along with many
scripts and plugin sources.

Windows box when 7-Zip isn't equal to the task. It's quite powerful.
And what's not to like about Lua extensibility?
