readme:
# tinycommander
Shell script for the minimalistic busybox Almquist shell (ash) to approximate a file manager (similar to midnight or norton commander).

The Almquist shell is a rudimentary but complete tiny linux shell which is used as "standard shell" in Busybox or Tinycore Linux.
To simplify the work with command line based linux systems a file commander or explorer is very helpful.
Tinycommander simply uses a shell script to provide a piece of software - thus nothing else is needed but a shell (i.e. no libraries).
In addition to the file manager tinycommander provides some tools like a scientific RPN-calculator or a simple slide presentation program.


its possible to extract fields/info from this ".info"file by executing the file its self !!  ???

eg

Code: [Select]

$ busybox ash ./tinycomander-sh.tcz.info readme

Can we have this program in the repo?
Can we have this program in vanilla microcore?

Looking at this:

https://github.com/zooxo/tinycommander

..it's 11 years old, is there a more recent version?

We try to keep the programs included in releases to a bare minimum.

We include enough programs for someone to install and modify a
system that satisfies their needs.

After all, isn't that what this project is all about?
No bloat. Install only what you want/need.

A file manager is not required for that. The included calculator and
file viewer already exist. They are called  calc  and  less.

When I put "zooxo tinycommander" I get only one result.
tinycommander has only 22 KB.

Can I ask for tc-17.x x86-64 version?

Title: Re: tinycommander

Copied to tc-17.x x86_64 repo - since it's a script the architecture doesn't matter.
