X16 File Manager (Norton Commander-clone)
Posted: Fri Dec 15, 2023 8:10 pm
X16 File Manager (XFM) is a Norton Commander-clone. It supports all basic file and directory management functions as well as launching tokenized basic programs and machine language programs, AND return to XFM as soon the program exits. So a true Norton Commander feeling.
Whats new in v2.0
Version 2.0 has been a major refactoring run. The main goal was to shrink the prg size. Allthough the previous version already fitted in a rombank (16kb), there wasn't much room for new features. With this major refactoring run, I've managed to free up 5kb and improve performance on several parts and fixed some bugs I encountered. So there is plenty room for additional features.
Program: Rom image: User guide:
Instructions:
- download fm.prg
- load fm.prg and run it
ROM-version
XFM is now available in a rom-version. Download romfm.bin into the emulator directory and run the emulator with:
x16emu -rom romfm.bin
Then you can run it like this:
BANK 1,16:SYS $C000
