Where can I get the fancy file manager package that I
see on Open Look advertisements?

The file manager is a required part of the OPEN LOOK functionality.  Any
vendor claiming to sell an OPEN LOOK compliant GUI must supply the file
manager; its properties are specified in Chapter 12 of the OPEN LOOK
functional specification.

This is not correct.  The file manager is a part of the Sun Deskset package.
It is part of Sun's OpenWindows product.  The properties specified in the
Open Look functional spec, merely says (my quotes) "if you produce a file 
manager and want it to be Open Look compliant, this is what you have to do".

The OPEN LOOK File Manager comes with the OPEN LOOK source tape or
the binaries as sold by AT&T Computer Systems or Sun Microsystems
or anyone else that is selling binaries derived from the source tape.
