30$ shareware, the #1 file manager, based on classical "two file windows side by side" - style
multiple language support, multi rename tool, powerful search function, compare files by content, synchronize directories (remote or local)
ZIP, ARJ, LZH, RAR, UC2, TAR, GZ, CAB, ACE archive handling + plugins
built-in FTP client with FXP (server to server) and HTTP proxy support
if you miss a feature in this list, it's very likely that Total Commander got it anyway
impossible to live without it
NEW: name change: Windows Commander is now called Total Commander, guess why
NEW: file system plugins allow to access PocketPC devices, other file systems etc.
NEW: descriptions can be created for files, and will be copied with the files
NEW: NTFS file streams will now be copied with the files

NEW: improvements to Synchronize dirs, multi-rename tool, ftp client and many other parts of the program
NEW: many detail enhancements, see history.txt in the program directory

if you get an error "missing ASPI layer" (or alike) with an audio CD ripper (incl. VSampler's AKAI CD extract function) or CD writer software, just install this one, reboot and be happy
