[Discussion] Thinking of going IMAC

[Thomas Clayton]

Felmon,

"

or 'mc' in Linux.

The old DOS program would be "Norton Commander" (NC). It's 'competitor' (at the time) was "Xtree". Our FM2 is, I think, closer to "Xtree".

I'm a "File Commander /2" (32-bit text-mode OS/2) user, as well as, "EF Commander" for OS/2 (very old, GUI) and for MS-Windows (older free version but, not, the newest commercial version). (EF is the German programmer, Emil Finkel, BTW.) I _DO_ have the NC for OS/2 (GUI) but _prefer_ the text mode FC/2 which I bought a (shareware) license for.

IF I've just started a new thread, which I didn't intend to do,
THEN let's call it "File Managers".
