A2 File Cmd 0.6.7 — Two panels. One Apple II.

A two-pane ProDOS file manager for the 128 KB Apple IIe, in the spirit of
A2Command and Norton Commander. Free software, GNU GPL v3.

What's new since 0.6.6

  • Added VDrive: two ProDOS volumes served over a Super Serial Card (or a //c's port 2) at 115 200 bps by ADTPro, veserver.py or surl-server, with the ADTPro VSDrive protocol; installed for the session, like Ammonoid.
  • Added a full-width progress bar to copy, move and delete; ESC interrupts them, and the panels update file by file.
  • Fixed a blank screen on unsupported machines: the launcher now requires an Enhanced IIe, //c or IIgs with 128 KB and 80 columns, and says so before returning to ProDOS.
  • Fixed ShrinkIt extraction after viewing HGR/DHGR images: the LZW dictionary no longer overwrites main memory through the graphics banking switches.
  • Fixed extraction progress: show each file from the start, with its archive position, progress bar and extracted byte count.

Files

A2FILECMD.po bootable 140 KB ProDOS floppy with the program — ADTPro, CiderPress, most emulators

A2FILECMD.2mg 32 MB hard disk (/A2FILEHD) with the DEMO/ folder — emulators, CFFA-style cards
