Re: Desparately need mc for Win8.1 64bit?

Imagine what a relief to be HOME with Mr.Norton [of the 70's]?
Thank you !!

After using RPi:linux:curl to fetch the misssing half of *.7z,
via the slow problematic connection and copying to Win8.1 by
USBstik, the cartoon-system's behavior couldn't be 'logged'
since MrNorton had not yet come-alive.
 So, I've lost the knowledge of what the installation problem
was. [BTW I've often wondered how much PeeCee is in non-Anglo
societies: eg. how "problem" morphed to "issue"].

Now let's see if/how FM can help paste this to that other hatefull
cartoon-based:Gmail to which my  access is locked.

OMG, FM also shows the line-len; like the superb mcedit.
Of course, the lameness of the mouse, compared to *nix, is not
caused by  -- nogmp.

Thanks to all contributors.

After my linux sytem was stolen, and the inet-connection needed
Microsoft-compatible compatability, I was forced to buy a M$
laptop. The frustrating thing is Win8.1 64-bit;



But eg.
  https://sourceforge.net/directory/%3Fq%3Dmidnight%2Bcommander%2B64/
shows:
  Connecting to sourceforge.net (sourceforge.net)|216.34.181.60|
:443... connected.
HTTP request sent, awaiting response... 404 Not Found


I get 404 too.


  and
http://www.download3k.com/Install-Midnight-Commander.html
  mentions only Win7 for 64 bit.


I'd not expect different binaries for W7 and W8.1.

MC is an OFM, a class of several similar apps:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OFM

On OS/2 and Windows I use only File Commander:

On Linux I use FC and MC. Each has strengths not shared by the other. 
Visually they are little different. It's hard to do without either on Linux.
