I have uploaded a bug fix release of the MouseLess Commander, a free
Norton Commander Clone to sunsite.unc.edu in the directory
/pub/Linux/Incoming, I think it will end in /pub/Linux/utils/file the
file name is mc-0.3.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 was written in only 24 days on a Linux box and it's
faster than the existing file managers for Linux.
Here is the LSM:

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 <t...@olivia.ping.dk>)
- 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.

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.

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

Version 0.14
- Now can handle directories with an unlimited number of files.
- New link and symlink commands (C-x l, C-x s)
- New insert tagged files or selection command (C-x t)
Version 0.13
- Behave more like the Norton Commander
- Added menu file edit
- If there is no permission to load a directory, now it loads a dummy
directory.
- When a panel is re-sorted, keep the selected file selected.
- forward_word and backward_word command on the input line now skip
over letters and numbers.
- Fixed backward scrolling in the internal viewer.
- The internal viewer now computes the percentage in a more natural
way.
- Added handling of the Home and End keys to the internal viewer
- Bug fixes.
