Midnight Commander Description

A Unix file manager and shell. Midnight Commander is a user-friendly yet powerful file manager and visual shell, useful to novice and guru alike. It provides a clear, user-friendly, and somewhat protected interface to a Unix system while making many frequent file operations more efficient and preserving the full power of the command prompt. After some practice, you will wonder how you could ever live without it.Being a text mode application, GNU Midnight Commander can be used locally or remotely, on the console or under X Window System. By using full screen space of the terminals, it provides an intuitive user interface to the operating system, aiming to be a useful tool for users with any level of experience, from a newbie to a guru.GNU Midnight Commander used to support a GNOME interface, which was historically the first file manager for the GNOME project. This interface is no longer part of GNU Midnight Commander.GNU Midnight Commander runs on POSIX (Unix-like) operating systems, such as GNU/Linux, FreeBSD, Mac OS X, Solaris, HP-UX and others. It can also be compiled under Cygwin on Windows.GNU Midnight Commander uses GNU Autoconf which should automatically configure it for every Unix clone. Following configurations have been tested in the past (this list is very old):- i386-*-linux1.x, 2.x- alpha-linux-linux2- sparc-linux-linux2.x- sparc64-linux-linux2.1- mips-sgi-irix5.x, 6.x- mips-dec-ultrix4.3- rs6000-ibm-aix3.2.5- sparc-sun-sunos4.1- sparc-sun-solaris2.3, 2.4, 2.5- sparc-sun-netbsd1.0- hppa-hp-hpux9- hppa-hp-hpux7- m68k-apple-aux- unixware- mc88110-aviion-dgux5.4R2.01- i386-*-sco3.2v4.2- i386-*-sco3.2v5Because GNU Midnight Commander is a full screen program it doesn't run on dummy terminals but anything more advanced will do (like vt100). If your terminal works with vi, emacs, elm or pine it will work with GNU Midnight Commander.
