• Not A Commander snapshot 11/09/05

  I've needed to build NAC on a recent RedHat and that has turned out to be surprizingly difficult and brought the need for some fixes. Some of them are fixes for the genuine NAC bugs, and some are workarounds for the bugs in glibc and Tk.But now I can say that NAC works on Linux again.

• Not A Commander snapshot 02/03/04

  Not A Commander is yet another graphical clone of Norton Commander(tm), done with emphasis on convenience of work with command line. Also a lot of Tk widgets and class infrastructure has been developed for this project. The February snapshot includes: * the viewer selection position becomes always visible when moved (and that made the resizes with an active selection much faster too) * minor improvements in the class infrastructure * naciew in hex mode now can display selection (but it can't be changed in hex mode yet) * the colors for selections can now be set in tune.tcl, and with options to the viewer widget
