Q: What is Total Commander?
A: Total Commander is a file manager for Windows, a
program like Windows Explorer to copy, move or delete files. However, Total Commander can do much more than Explorer, e.g. pack and unpack files, access ftp servers, compare files by content, etc! You can find an overview on our 'features' page.
Q: What happened to Windows Commander?
A: In 2002 there was a name change - the new name is "Total Commander".
Q: What's new in the current version?
A: You can find an overview on our 'What's new' page.
Q: Which operating systems are supported?
A: There are 2 versions of Total Commander: 32 bit and 16 bit. The 32 bit version runs on Windows 95, 98, ME, Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows Vista. The 16 bit version runs on Windows 3.1.
Q: Is there a Linux version? Or a version for Windows CE?
A: Unfortunately not. Because of problems with porting of Total Commander to Linux, the Linux version had
to be delayed indefinitely. A minimal version for Windows CE and the Pocket PC is now available! A recommended file manager for Linux is Krusader.
Q: Can I send suggestions for new functions?
A: Yes, please! If possible, send your suggestions clearly separated and numbered, and as short as possible. Unfortunately our wish list is already very
long, so we cannot guarantee if or when your wish will be implemented.
Q: Can we create a link to www.ghisler.com?
A: We would be very pleased - as long as your pages do not contain illegal
content or offensive material. However, in most cases we cannot offer a link back to your site. Our links are limited to useful addons to Total Commander, and general Shareware links.
