I have uploaded a new version of the MouseLess Commander to
sunsite.unc.edu in the directory /pub/Linux/Incoming, it eventually
will end in /pub/Linux/utils/file/mc-0.6.tar.gz

The MouseLess Commander is a directory browsing tool with a very close
look and feel to John Socha's Norton Commander for DOS. The MouseLess
Commander doesn't have all the bells and whistles of his DOS
counterpart, but it's nice and comes with source code under the GPL.

Since the last announce in comp.os.linux.announce (version 0.3) this
has changed:

Version 0.6 

- Extension dependant execution implemented (now you can execute
  things like tar tzvf over compressed tar files, just a tap in the
  Enter key).
- Added simple expansion of usefull variables in the user menu.
- Avoid unnecesary reloading of subdirectories using stat (suggested
  by Torben Fjerdingstad <[email-masked]>)
- Added options to disable colors and display version number.
- Allow start up directory specification (ex: nc /usr/local/bin /tmp)
- Some cosmetic changes.
- Bug fixes.

Version 0.5
- Fixed bug in the help browser that crashed the program.
- New internal viewer.
- New long directory listing format.
- some bug fixes.

Version 0.4 

- User Menus (F2 key)
- Quick search of files in a panel (Alt-filename takes you to that file).
- Char quoting (C-q)
- exec() enhacements.
- now you can suspend the program (C-z)
- The find file command now seems to be very stable.
- misc bug fixes.
