First tagged release of Claude Commander (cc) -- a Norton-Commander-style
two-panel file manager for DOS / MiSTer ao486, written in 16-bit x86 assembly
as a single resident .COM plus a set of external helper tools.

Download

Grab cc-v1.0.0.zip, unzip it onto a DOS drive (or MOUNT the folder in
DOSBox), and run CC.COM. Press F1 inside for the full key reference.

What's in the box

  • CC.COM -- the file manager (pop-up F9 command menu)
  • CCBAR.COM -- identical build, but F9 opens a Norton-style pull-down
    MENU BAR (Files / Commands / Options) instead of the pop-up
  • Both builds include the new Alt-F10 directory-tree browser
  • External helpers: editor, find, grep, zip/arj/rar/d64/t64 browsers,
    image + wav viewers, hex/sum/diff/split/join/rename tools
  • Data files: cc.ini, cc.hlp, da.lng

Highlights

  • Two-panel browser with tag/copy/move/delete, sort, column cycling,
    quick-search, mask tagging, file-attribute editing
  • Archive & disk-image browsing (.zip/.arj/.rar/.d64/.t64) as folders
  • Alt-F10 modal directory-tree browser
  • Brief 3-column panel view (Ctrl-F10); table-driven view registry
  • Optional Norton-style pull-down menu bar (CCBAR.COM)
  • Build configurator (configure.ps1): pick exactly the widgets you want;
    resident size scales with the set (min build ~53 KB, full ~62 KB)

Builds clean as min / std / full profiles; the resident image stays inside
the 64 KB real-mode segment.
