AsmFile

AsmFile is a file manager that boasts a small and fast design, written entirely in assembler. The program utilizes a two pane interface, similar to other popular file managers like "mc." AsmFile can be run in either a console or terminal window, making it a versatile tool for users.

Despite its many benefits, assembly language has been largely ignored by much of the Unix/Linux community. This is often due to historical portability issues as well as negative perceptions of assembly language and the lack of available tools. However, there exists a small niche community of assembly language developers interested in exploring its potential for desktop applications.

Thankfully, AsmFile provides support for this niche community and offers a variety of useful tools for users to take advantage of. For example, the resources section offers links to information and discussion forums related to assembler topics. Additionally, users can find a list for programmers interested in desktop assembly languages.

Of particular interest to the author is the section devoted to predictions and history, which covers the evolution of assembly languages and how they are used today. Finally, users can look forward to upcoming releases in the AsmIDE family of programs, some of which have already reached a useful state. Overall, AsmFile is an excellent file manager that excels in speed and efficiency, all while embracing the potential of assembly language for desktop applications.
