Retro Canada, known from his in-development port of Super Mario Bros 3 for MSX, has revealed another interesting and ambitious project: a clone of the swiss army knive of file managers,Norton Commander for MSX. Even though development has just begun, the features are already quite impressive:
- Developed 100% in assembly
- Rich colorful text mode interface
- Object-oriented interface with pull-down menus, windows, dialogs, buttons and text-boxes
- Mouse support for point and click
- IBM PC-like cursor emulation
- Mapper usage. There is no limit on the number of files per folder
- Double buffered screen, no artifacts when refreshing
- Integrated shell with fork/join process up to 124 characters of command line
MSX Commander requires MSX-DOS2 and at least 256K RAM. We'll be following this project closely and will keep you informed on any future updates.
