Introduction
------------

Tux Commander is a windowed file manager with 2 panels side by side similar to 
popular Total Commander or Midnight Commander file managers. The main goal of
this project is to create powerful and user friendly file manager for Unix 
operating systems.

General features:
 *  Graphical application, uses GTK2 windowing toolkit
 *  Two directory panels side by side (vertical)
 *  Tabbed interface, buttons for quick access to favorite places
 *  Configurable mounter bar for quick access to removable media and 
    network shares
 *  Multilingual user interface
 *  Basic VFS (Virtual File System) support, allowing you to browse archives 
    and network places
 *  Extendable via plugin system, several VFS modules available 
    in the distribution
 *  Portable, no installation required, usable right after the extraction
 *  Designed for GNOME and XFCE desktop environments while preserving complete
    independency (libraries are loaded dynamically when available)
 *  Extension-based file type actions (associations)
 *  Threaded file operations
 *  Large files (> 4GB) support
 *  Main application written in Object Pascal language (with FreePascal 
    as default compiler), plugins are written in C/C++ language
 *  Sources available in GIT repository 


Using Object Pascal language might be considered as limiting factor, however
we recently switched to FreePascal compiler, solving many compatibility issues.
Also, the x86_64 port was introduced and is officially supported as well as
the i386 platform. PowerPC port is working, though issues may appear.
Kylix compatibility will be still maintained.
This project uses Pascal GTK2 bindings from the gtk2 for pascal project,
which are now part of FreePascal v2.0 distribution.
