Not A Commander

Not A Commander is a file manager designed after the Norton Commander. The program is focused on integrating well with the command line, making it easy for users to manage their files. The development process utilizes the technology of Natural Stupidity, which involves creating a basic version of the program and gradually improving it over time.

The program prioritizes features that the developer personally uses, meaning that certain features may not be implemented if they are not deemed necessary. However, contributions are welcome from others, as long as they do not interfere with the existing functionality of the program.

To build the program, users can run the `make' command. The X11 headers are required for build, and some modifications to the Makefile may be necessary depending on the system. Upon installation with the `make install' command, the program is installed into the /usr/local/bin and /usr/local/lib/nac directories by default. The configuration file nac.sysrc can be used to customize the program, with both system-wide and user-specific configuration options available.

The program uses common Tcl scripts to modify tunable values. Users must be careful with the syntax to avoid errors that may prevent NAC from starting. The list of supported tunables and values can be found at the top of tune.tcl, although these values may change as the program continues to be developed. Similarly, there may be bugs in the program that are fixed in future releases.

Overall, Not A Commander offers a simple and customizable file management experience for users who rely heavily on the command line. While it may not have all the features of other file managers, it is constantly being improved upon and offers a unique approach to file management.
