I'm searching for a good filemanager in style of the classic norton commander 2 panel design? Since i had my best experiences with Total Commander in Windows, which one would you recommend for use in Ubuntu?

I had the same question some time ago. And I tried all of the mentioned commanders. Krusader is by far the best one but I didn't want to have whole bunch of KDE libraries installed. Gnome-Commander cripples system theme in order to get some more speed (I guess) but it doesn't support tabs. Mucommander is Java based and lacks integration with system (and it's Java based, did I mention that already). There's also TuxCommander which (at the moment) is not listed but that thing was made using Borland Kylix (now dead project) so its development is stopped or at least doomed. Midnight Commander is really really good, but am not that much of a terminal fan.

The core of "Norton Utilities" was Peter Norton FAT file undelete utility. It allowed files to be restored if the clusters the file occupied before deletion were not yet overwritten. In FAT to restore the file it was enough to restore the first letter of the directory entry (a feature of theFAT file system used inMS-DOS, albeit one that was not originally documented). Following the initial release Peter Norton was made Utilities Editor ofPC Magazine.The package quickly grow and in the second version (version 4, 1986) contained approximately two dozens of utilities (Brad Kingsbury participated in writing of this version as he was hired in summer of 1985; he was a talented programmer and made several original contributions likendd). Linda Dudinyak was Software Architect at Peter Norton Computing from 1987 till 1990 and also made important contributions both to Norton commander and Norton Utilities.

Another interesting part of their software portfolio were famous Norton Guides, one of the first successful pre-HTML hypertext implementation for DOS. Later versions of Norton commander (starting from version 3.0 used this format for help). I think more then a dozen Norton Guides were produced and later guides in this format continued to appear despite the fact that the product was abandoned after acquisition of Norton Computing by Symantec: the format was reverse engineered and people just used it to produce their own guides. The total number of books that were converted to NG format is probably in hundreds. Among the original Norton Guides were:

The initial years of Norton commander development (1984-1988) were years of triumphant ascent of MS-DOS as the most widely used operating system on the planet, which rapidly replaced CP/M starting from late 1983. And rising tide lifts all boats: many programming products created for DOS became dominant in their class and even served as de-facto standards for porting to other OSes. And that was not limited to spreadsheets, word processors and computer games. Utilities were also a fast growing field. Crazy, high stress and high pressure atmosphere of the first commercial software start-ups is now semi-forgotten. But it was the first commercial software "gold rush" which later in a slightly different manner it was replayedduring dot-com bubble.

I used it for creating the first issues of Softpanorama bulletin, one floppy electronic bulleting that I published from 1989 till 1996 (approximately the same time span as official versions of Norton Commanders ;-). Actually I switched to Norton Commander from Xtree, which I used for about a year. Old issues contain a lot of interesting historical information and some adds-on to Norton commander. They are available from this site for free download (texts are in Russian, but most programs use English).

Version 3.0 was a really impressive improvement over the version 2 and it extended the functionality of NC2 in many non-trivial ways. Due to the size of main module (ncmain.exe became 139K) swapping commander out of memory became standard mode of operation for users, instead of optional. Here is what we can learn from help about the team who created this amazing product:

But at this time DOS was in severe decline and interest generated by new DOS programs started to fade. Windows 3.1 was the name of the game and understanding that the best DOS programs can benefit from conversion into 32-bit interface will come much later with Far and Total commander. There was no such understanding among Symantec brass and that probably was the root problem. But this "uncreative destruction" was typical for neoliberal companies, including most software startups.

Version 2 achieved some level of popularity reclaiming some market share for Symantec in the crowded space of Windows utilities. But probably revenue was not enough to continue the development and it was discontinued.The last Windows version of Norton Commander, 2.01, was released on February 1, 1999. I encountered uses of Norton Commander for Windows commander for Windows till late 2006 -- seven years after the last release. Now they almost all disappeared as NCW has problems with the version of NTFS used in Windows XP.

Later they understood the mistake they made and in 1997 there was a reincarnation attempt:probably due to pressure from users in Europe, a European-only Norton Commander for Windows was reintroduced in the Symantec product line (we will briefly discuss it in Chapter 5).NCW was released in early 1996 initially as Windows 95 version only.When I wanted to buy it I actually got a British version. It looks like the product did not sell well and Symantec was not flexible enough to scale down the development and wait for a Renaissance of command line just milking the franchise they acquired, the franchise that had a lot of devoted users. Actually I think they did not understand the importance of the unique method of integration with the Windows shell that Norton commander created (see for example NC for OS/2 which did not even continued command line functionality). And as a file manager it was difficult to compete with Windows Explorer which was free.

Abandonware sites contains good, almost complete collection of versions of Norton Commander. You can use Google search "Norton commander abandonware" to find them. It's not a legal way of obtaining them, though.

Hello and sorry for my question

i used since Windows xp in my a:\

a disk with the volkov commander to be with some comfort using

dosbox then i have a new computer with 12gb ram so was nessesary

to have a 64bit Windows installed because i was using the same

harddisk with the dosbox 0.72 installed the volkov commander was

working fine again.now i have installed the new dosbox 0.73 in my

windows 7 64bit and now my disk in a:\ is no more able to be used.

exist something like norton commander for dosbox?

sorry for my english

For anyone who wants to use NC or VC:

Make a folder "srv" at DOSbox's root

Extract a downloaded Volkov/Norton commander into srv/(nc# or vc# - depends on what you use)

Add the following after [autoexec] and the comments in DOSbox.conf:

I'm using the old norton commander in dosbox.

I just put it in a directory in the dosbos directory.

I just made a directory in my dosbox directory called c:\nc and put it there and added nc in the path in the autoexec section of the dosbox config file:

 path=c:\;c:\nc

works perfect except I used to alter the colors with ansiplus ( a replacement for ansi) to make it look better but I can't load ansiplus in dosbox.

Huh? What does that have to do with this? other than nc which is sometimes used for norton commander but this is supposed to mean ncurses if I'm not mistaken. And dosbox only uses ncurses in debug compiles.

So I don't get it

The synopsis wasn't written by myself. I found that on a site.

I thought it might clarify what can be confusing. I should have stated it was from the web. There are many versions of norton commander, some even developed for Linux in the early days of Linux.
