    Well, it is not a DOS application, but a Windows console one.
    There is also a Windows x64 executable available.

    Best DOS clone out there. But who needs that if there is Total Commander? I don't.

    The Best Norton Commander Clone file manager on the windows platform, in the world of file managers many paradigms have emerged but the classic orthodox dual panel display still reigns king for speed and ease, FAR is above and beyond in the orthodox category with its configurability,speed and vast array of plugins that extend the program to beyond like an internal ftp client,email client,process explorer,audio player,remote control etc etc... If you're a keyboard user and missed the good old days of Norton Commander, FAR is simply a godsend. In my opinion nothing beats file management through the use of a keyboard and a classic dual panel file manager like FAR and Total Commander.

    Very highly recommended.

    OK. The program looks promising, BUT!
    When downloading the Setup EXE from the Homepage, Avira Antivir interrupts and notifies me that the file contains a virus. it's name is DR/GrayBird.52
    The URL of the infected (?) file is farmanager.com/files/FarManager170.exe
    ATTENTION, it's the same file linked here, when you click on download, you'll get it!

    up-to-date scanner: Avira Antivir v7.00.00.03 with definitions v6.34.00.121, from 2006/03/30 (Today!)

    however: the rar-archive distributed on the homepage is clean. so this might be a false report for the installer. i don't know.
