+This version of the Midnight Commander comes with two interfaces: a
|
|
|
+graphical one for the GNOME desktop (http://www.gnome.org) and a text
|
|
|
+mode interface (the same old user interface we have had for a long
|
|
|
+time).
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Most of the engine is shared between both versions, but they come with
|
|
|
+radically different interfaces: the GNOME version is aimed to be a
|
|
|
+simple to use tool for novice users.
