by Pavel Roskin - Wednesday, February 5th 2003 14:01 PST
About: GNU Midnight Commander is a text-mode full-screen file manager. It uses a two panel interface and a subshell for command execution. It includes an internal editor with syntax highlighting and an internal viewer with support for binary files. Also included is Virtual Filesystem (VFS), that allows files on remote systems (e.g. FTP servers) and files inside archives to be manipulated like real files.
Changes: Midnight Commander would stay in memory and eat CPU cycles if it was run from su in an xterm and the xterm was forcedly closed. The documentation and translated messages have been updated. Portability fixes have been applied. This version is a major release and is believed to be very stable.
