Midnight Commander for OS/2 -- version 3.5.43b (Development version)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
June 11, 1997
This file contains special information for Midnight Commander for OS/2.
For more information about Midnight Commander, please read the original FAQ.
0. Hello
--------
This is the port of Midnight Commander to OS/2. I think it's now a
BETA version with some (unknown) bugs, use it at your own risk!
1. Installation Instructions
------------
The default installation directory is D:\MC, just copy all the files to
this position and set the PATH to D:\MC. A small REXX program install.cmd
will help you create a desktop icon.
2. Special notes
-----------
- You can also change the drive with F11 and F12.
- Unlike the early version, this version is static linked, so it does not
need any additional DLL. It was also improved to be more faster.
- After setting up your MC installation, you can save your setting using the
menu item "Save setup". If "show_output_starts_shell" is set to 1 in mc.ini,
CTRL-O will start a subshell which is specified in your environment
variable COMSPEC.
- Using the switch -S, a batch file (.CMD) will be produced from MC for
changing the directory to the last working place upon exit.
NC.cmd will demonstrate this feature.
3. Operating System
-----------
I am using Warp 4 and IBM VisualAge C++ for this port. I don't think that
it is a problem to run it with OS/2 2.x, but I can not verify it.
Please drop me a mail and tell me how it works with these OS/2 versions.
