This is the announcement of:

o The MouseLess Commander 0.9 with Mouse Support.

and the 

o General Purpose Mouse support for Linux Server.

The MouseLess Commander is a directory browsing tool with a very close
look and feel to John Socha's Norton Commander for DOS.  The program
runs on Linux, SunOS and Ultrix systems.  

The GPM Mouse Server is a program that provides cooked mouse events to
applications that requests it.  In case that no applications request
the events, GPM will default to the behavior of selection.

The major change since version 0.8 is that now the MouseLess Commander
comes with mouse support.  In order to take advantage of this new
feature, you will need the GPM server running on your Linux box.  If
you run selection, you will have to replace it with GPM. 

I have uploaded the MouseLess Commander 0.9 to sunsite.unc.edu in the
directory /pub/Linux/Incoming as the file mc-0.9.tar.gz and will be
moved sometime to /pub/Linux/utils/file/managers.

The GPM Mouse Server is available in iride.unipv.it in the directory
/pub/gpm.

Now, this has changed since version 0.8 of the MouseLess Commander:

- Mouse Support.
- Internal Copy command (it no longer uses cp).
- Verbose Copying of files.
- Confirmation on Overwrite and on Delete.
- Support reverse sorting.
- Many visual enhancements.
- Per panel options are saved and restored.
- New truncation of names in the panels.
- History in Input Lines (M-p and M-n).
- Input line enhancements.
- Dialog boxes are nicer than before.
- Cache in gid and uid translators.
- More key bindings for the Input lines.
- Better kill management in Input Lines.
- Bug fixes.

The MouseLess Commander was written by Miguel de Icaza and Mauricio Plaza.

The GPM Mouse Server was written by Alessandro Rubini and is based
upon the code of Andrew Haylett.
