Directory Commander - dcc
|
|
=========================
|
|
|
|
|
|
Directory Commander is a filemanager for Linux. As model for this project
|
|
I used the Norton Commander. You must not expect that Directory Commander
|
|
is completly equal to his great brother. But a lot of functions are
|
|
implemented.
|
|
|
|
I don't want to give you a large operating manual at this place, instead
|
|
I want to give you some hints to get it run. Just run it and press the
|
|
F1-key and you will get a short description of possible commands.
|
|
|
|
Dcc is a program that uses the functions of the ncurses library. It is
|
|
compiled with ncurses version 0.72 ! Thats why its possible to run it on
|
|
various terminal types. But this means that you have to adapt your terminfo
|
|
file. Terminfo files are normally located in /usr/lib/terminfo. Dcc uses the
|
|
file with the name which is stored in the environment variable TERM.
|
|
|
|
If not exsisting, the following entries you have to add to your terminfo file:
|
|
|
|
key terminfo entry
|
|
|
|
F1 .. F12 kf1 .. kf12
|
|
Alt-F3 kf13
|
|
Alt-F4 kf14
|
|
Ins kich1
|
|
Del kdch1
|
|
Home khome
|
|
End kend
|
|
PgUp kpp
|
|
PgDown knp
|
|
CursLeft kcub1
|
|
CursRight kcuf1
|
|
CursUp kcuu1
|
|
CursDown kcud1
|
|
|
|
You have to add these entries seperated by commas to your file.
|
|
This is an example:
|
|
|
|
..., kf1=\E[[A, kf2=\E[[B, ...
|
|
|
|
Afer editing terminfo its necessary to compile it. Just type
|
|
|
|
tic "name"
|
|
|
|
But before you can do this you have to know the ESC sequences for all the
|
|
keys named above. For this purpos I added the very little program "keycode"
|
|
to this package. It will tell you which code is generated by pressing a
|
|
key at your terminal.
|
|
|
|
Because most of linuxers use the terminal type console I included it also.
|
|
If you want it please copy this file to /usr/lib/terminfo and compile it.
|
|
|
|
If available dcc uses color capabilities of your terminal ( of course, console
|
|
will give colored output !). But if you use a monochrome monitor ( terminal
|
|
type console with MDA ) you will get a lot of bad stuff on your screen. In
|
|
this case you should run dcc with option -mono.
|
|
|
|
dcc -mono forces monochrome mode
|
|
|
|
To compile the program again just do :
|
|
|
|
make clean
|
|
make all
|
|
|
|
|
|
This program was already successful compiled on a IBM AIX/RISC6000 with
|
|
a "hft" terminal.
