I'm trying to stay my opinion technically and objective. I'm afraid
someone will not happy, but I want to balance between programmer and
user, which have different point of view.

The idea was come from "Norton Commander", it can use command line as

but it's main port is for Linux, not DOS.

I'll try and give more feedback.

We need to work hard to keep DOS running and try to replace M$-Windows
as much as we can, why using badly written software that cost a bomb?

Programming is an art, and sharing the program or opening the code is
not a must, it's a gift.

I respect everyone working hard sharing their result, not for money
but a quality software.

Agree.

I also work with LIST for a long time. That's why I know it's style
best ;-)

PG works great when using pipe, maybe it can also become a LIST clone
if you wish. (no harm!)
