i dunno that I can communicate with everyone bob, but maybe you notice that none of the dos lovers seem to pick up on what you have to say.
Maybe there is work being done on the Linux CLI, but I dont see any new anouncements of any of it, whereas all of the new programs I see mentioned for Linux are GUI apps. I mention Opera specifically because it is one, the only one, which I have seen mentioned because it has reduced code bloat. Nor do I see where you have responded to the particular examples I gave with respect to file management. This is not something GUI users are even aware that there are any alternatives that might be faster or have more functionality. Now, if you could cite something that has the functionality I mention, which MC seems to lack, that DC.COM and DW.COM have, I frankly would be most grateful. I would love to have the convenience in Linux that I see in DOS. Simply stating that Linux has vast numbers of superior tools may be true, but if the dos users dont know where they are, that dont matter. That CLI work in Linux continues in networking is not relevant to the issue at hand, which was what was good for the single user at his own machine. I dont have firewall problems. I am not running a server. Linux is great for that. I have said so several times. When the subject came up here of file managers, DW.COM was suggested, and I was quite happy to try it. Were there anything in Linux that you knew of that was as functional, I'm sure you would have suggested that the Linux users try it on their own CLI terminals. I didnt see you, nor anyone else who uses Linux offer any clue. Why not? the reasonable assumption is that MC is the only thing anyone knows about. That MC is lacking is not a problem caused by Linux, but the fact that it has not been upgraded or replaced with another more tool with more functionality is evidence that work on this CLI is not being done for the single user/single PC environment. Which is my whole point. It might be Bob, that crafting the code for a more functional file mangager is a whole lot easier in such a limited operating system as dos, which does not havta deal with what other users are doing at other terminals. HAve you run DW to compare it with MC? To unsubscribe from SURVPC send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe SURVPC in the body of the message.
