2004-02-09


Name : mc
Version : 4.6.0
Release : 8.4
Summary : User-friendly text console file manager and visual shell.
Description : Midnight Commander is a visual shell much like a file manager,
only with many more features. It is a text mode application, but it
also includes mouse support if you are running GPM. Midnight
Commander’s best features are its ability to FTP, view tar and zip
files, and to poke into RPMs for specific files.
