ftp://ftp.netlabs.org/pub/qtapps/QXmlEdit-0.8.5-os2.7z

Welcome to QXmlEdit v0.8.5 port for OS/2 and eComStation.

QXmlEdit is a simple XML files editor. It is very simple and it lacks some
features like explicit namespaces support, but it has some peculiarites.
It is not a textual editor, but it is tree control based, so it is impossible
to generate some XML syntax errors, like missing or misplaced closing tag. This
advantage is more and more important with the growing of the XML file size.

20. [Uncle_Brr] (Mar 21 09:16) MuCommander @
http://www.mucommander.com/download/nightly/mucommander-current.tar.gz |
NC-like cross-platform JAVA-based file commander with NFS/FTP/SMB/Bonjeur/etc
support | requires Java 1.6

===
----------------
muCommander v0.9
----------------

muCommander is a lightweight, cross-platform file manager with a dual-pane
interface. It runs on any operating system with Java support (Mac OS X,
Windows, Linux, *BSD, Solaris, OS/2...).

Documentation can be found at http://trac.mucommander.com/ .

Please visit the muCommander forums (http://www.mucommander.com/forums) to ask
questions, suggest features or report a bug. Your feedback is always welcome!

Official website: http://www.mucommander.com
Copyright (C) 2002-2012 Maxence Bernard.

Requirements
------------
A Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 1.5 or later is required to run muCommander.
Java 1.6 is recommended, you can download it at http://java.com.

Mac OS X users: your favorite OS already comes with a Java runtime so you're
good to go!

If you're having problems launching muCommander, make sure the JAVA_HOME
environment variable points to the directory
where your Java runtime is installed.


What's new since v0.8.5 ?
-------------------------

New features:
- Tabbed browsing support (ticket #185).
- Added support for Xfce desktop environment (ticket #394).
- Text viewer and editor can now display line numbers.
- New quick list for root folders, mapped onto Alt+5 by default (ticket #400).

Improvements:
- Natural file ordering, suggested by 'andraaspar' in the forums. All symbols
now come before digits (ticket #282).
- Improved the display of filenames when they are not entirely visible, by
removing characters in the middle so that
both ends of the filename are visible.
- Current folder is now automatically changed to a workable folder when it is
no longer available (ticket #333).
- Upgraded the JmDNS library (used for Bonjour support) to version 3.1.
- Upgraded the jCIFS library (used for SMB support) to version 1.3.14.
- Better RAR archive support (ticket #152).
- Text viewer and editor can now wrap long lines (ticket #101).
- The bookmarks quick list is now displayed unsorted (ticket #416).
- Changed the quick search mechanism in quick lists to match the one used in
the folder pane (ticket #171).
- Added an option to change the font size in the text file editor/viewer by
pressing Ctrl while rotating the mouse wheel
(ticket #409).
- Application state is now persisted on shutdown in a dedicated snapshot.xml
file, instead of being stored along with
preferences in preferences.xml (see
http://trac.mucommander.com/wiki/StatePersistence).
- Changed the color of hidden files to be different from regular files (ticket
#262).
- Changed the default keyboard shortcuts of the 'open in both panels', 'open in
other panel', 'recall next window' and
'recall previous window' actions, to make room for the new tab-related
shortcuts.
- File editor/viewer is now getting the focus when initiated (ticket #92).
- Comic Book Archive files (cbr, cbz, cb7, cbt) are now recognized as archives
(#454).

Localization:
- New: Turkish translation, contributed by Emre Ayta��
- New: Catalan translation, contributed by Jordi Plantalech
- New: Belarusian translation, contributed by vboo.
- New: Norwegian translation, contributed by Ingrid Amundsen.
- Russian translation updated. Update contributed by Alexey Sirotov and Evgeny
Morozov.
- Ukrainian translation updated. Update contributed by Oleksandr Kovalchuk.
- Spanish translation updated. Update contributed by Xavi Mir��.

Bug fixes:
- Pack dialog now implements the same filename selection algorithm as other
dialogs (ticket #167).
- When an invalid destination was entered in a transfer dialog, the spinning
dial icon would keep spinning.
- Fixed an issue that would occur when creating directories whose extension
match that of one of the supported archive
formats (see ticket #360).
- Fixed a bug that could cause the deletion of S3 files to fail.
- Fixed an exception on shutdown (ticket #377).
- Fixed an exception when trying to update text files in archives using the
internal editor (ticket #408).
- File renaming is now cancelled when the filename editor loses focus (#428).
- Fixed a deadlock that could prevent the application from shutting down
(#431).
- Fixed an issue that caused unpacking of 7z archive file to produce corrupted
files (ticket #347).
- Fixed several bugs related to SMB handling (tickets #351 and #436).

Known issues:
- Some translations may not be up-to-date. Refer to
http://trac.mucommander.com/wiki/Translations for more information.
- Windows: Recycle Bin not working on Windows 64-bit with a 64-bit Java runtime
(ticket #234). One way to work around
this issue is to use a 32-bit Java runtime.
- Mac OS X: "Do you want the application "muCommander.app" to accept incoming
network connections?" dialog keeps popping
up on startup even if the dialog has been previously accepted (ticket #339).
This dialog can be suppressed by
disabling 'Bonjour' support in the muCommander preferences.
- Executable permissions on local files are not properly preserved when running
a unix-based OS with Java 1.5.
- SMB support may not work properly on non multi-language JRE.
- 'Copy files to clipboard' not working with some applications (files are not
pasted).
- Mac OS X: some keyboard shortcuts may conflict with global system shortcuts.
- Authentication issues when using several sets of credentials (login/password)
for the same server (see ticket #76).
- Untrusted HTTPS connections are allowed without a warning.
- Windows Vista/7: "java.net.SocketException: Permission denied: recv failed"
error can appear when trying to access FTP
sites. This seems to be a Windows firewall problem, with a possible
workaround:
http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=7077696
- Unpacking files from 7z archive files can be slow.

Command Line Interface
----------------------

muCommander comes with a few command line switches.
The following options are available:
-a FILE, --assoc FILE Load associations from FILE.
-b FILE, --bookmarks FILE Load bookmarks from FILE.
-c FILE, --configuration FILE Load configuration from FILE
-C FILE, --commandbar FILE Load command bar from FILE.
-e FOLDER, --extensions FOLDER Load extensions from FOLDER.
-f FILE, --commands FILE Load custom commands from FILE.
-i, --ignore-warnings Do not fail on warnings (default).
-k FILE, --keymap FILE Load keymap from FILE
-p FOLDER, --preferences FOLDER Store configuration files in FOLDER
-S, --silent Do not print verbose error messages
-s FILE, --shell-history FILE Load shell history from FILE
-t FILE, --toolbar FILE Load toolbar from FILE
-u FILE, --credentials FILE Load credentials from FILE
-h, --help Print the help text and exit
-v, --version Print the version and exit
-V, --verbose Print verbose error messages (default)
-w, --fail-on-warnings Quits when a warning is encountered during
the boot process.

In addition to these, muCommander will interpret anything that comes after the
last switch as a URI and load it in
its windows.
So for example:

mucommander -b ~/.bookmarks.xml ftp://us...@myftp.com ~/dev http://slashdot.org

Will:
- read bookmarks from ~/bookmarks.xml
- load a connection to myftp.com in the left panel of the main window
- load ~/dev in the right panel of the main window
- open a second window and load http://slashdot.org in its left panel
- load the default directory in the second window's fourth panel
