Payton Byrd has introduced A2Command, a ProDOS file manager similar in form and function with MS-DOS based Norton Commander. Payton’s CSA2 announcement is attached below.
Hello,
Most of you probably don’t know me, but I’ve been lurking off and on for many years. In 2010 I created a project for the CBM machines called CBM-Command, which is a file manager in the vein of Norton Commander. Not long after I started that project, Oliver Schmidt recommended that I port it to the Apple 2 since the project is written in C using cc65. I began the port in May but had to back-burner it for a lot of reasons after Oliver had put a great amount of work into helping me get it up and running. Well, half a year later and I’m back at work with A2Command. I have a project page all set up and you can even download the source code as Oliver and I commit it. The homepage is at http://a2command.codeplex.com and I’m sure you’ll be impressed with the screenshots. Hopefully we’ll get the first beta out soon (can’t promise a date yet).
If you are interested in helping with the project, just let me know!
