Necromancer's Dos Navigator 2.15.1929 - A Norton Commander clone.

(Windows/DOS/Linux)

About:
Necromancer's Dos Navigator is a "Norton Commander" clone. It uses a well
known text-mode interface, is highly customizable, and has a lot of
features. Its key features are a text editor with syntax highlighting,
horizontal/vertical blocks, multiple codepages, undo/redo, bookmarks,
powerful searching, and regex; a file viewer with text view, asm/dump/hex
edit, raw blocks, header viewer, search, regex, and unlimited filesize; a
powerful filepanel with higlighting, VFSs, and filefind with textsearch
and regex; a calculator; and more.

Changes:
This release adds several bugfixes and enhancements to the file panel
(concerning big screen widths), histories, turbovision, archives (new
types, serious bugfixes, detection enhancements), an editor, and VFSs
(deleting all files from the find panel).

Release focus: Major bugfixes

I can't tell from the page which download link to use. And why .rar files?

Bit more. It seems that despite the "freeware" designation this is
donationware & nagware. The DOS & Win32 versions throw up a splashscreen
at start asking for donations (tho the linux version doesn't seem to).

The d/l links
"WINDOWS versions" are the "long filename enabled" 16 bit version which
runs in a DOS window.
"DPMI versions" are DOS Protected Mode 16 bit versions.
"Linux versions" self explanatory.

The *.rar compression produces better compression ratios than the zip
format and is favoured in Russia (where NDN is developed) over *.zip.

First impressions is it's nowhere near in the same league as the original
Win or DOS Norton Commander (commercial) and the Linux version doesn't
come up to the open-source Midnight Commander.
