GNU 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. You will wonder how
|
|
you could ever live without it.
