Maybe they should use mc :)

I'm just very disappointed because like mc it has been a long
time since the last release (6 months ago), and because they
forgot to remove a lot of files and directories that aren't
used by the plain mc. Maybe also because they started with
4.1.35 and not 4.1.36 (why?).

Yes, the documentation is outdated, they just added a file in
./. Not to flame mc developers, but the FAQ and other files in
4.5.52 are outdated too :)

I like to use CVS and used to use it for mc, but didn't try
since I moved to Slackware 7.1. Do you recommend it? It should
at least build? I run mc as root (no, only mc and kim), and
don't want it messing up my filesystem. If it's stable enough
I'll give a try (otherwise, test as a normal user).

I liked their additions to ftpfs and wildcards in quick cd.
