Don't knock it. I love my mc, but just now and again I use konqueror instead, because it understands long file names. It is an excellent file manager, and allows ftp drag-and-drop so you can think yourself back seven years and pretend you are in doze98 using one of those gui ftp clients (except konqueror doesn't crash every 7 minutes). And it's a good browser. -- richard -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
