THE LARSEN COMMANDER ILLUSTRATED REPORT

Larsen Commander is a powerful GUI File Manager and Command Processor that has a look and feel like the classic Norton Commander. The most notable difference is that the Larsen Commander is pure GUI. Still it has a built in command line and a scrollable console monitor.

Larsen Commander combines the very best of two very different worlds;- the command line and the file management panels. Both available at the same time, and even in parallel while commands are running in the background!

The product has been in public beta for more than a year. this first official version is therefore proven to be very stable and useful.
