Nifty, I didn't know that. Amazing what mc can do. Couple of points |
| 32 |
that are not obvious in case Harry wants to try mc: it needs to be |
| 33 |
compiled with the samba USE flag set; and you access your samba shares |
| 34 |
using the "Right" or "Left" dropdown menus at the top of the mc window. |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
This function of mc (being an old app) I'm guessing is what inspired |
| 37 |
the similar functions in konqueror and nautilus, but I'm not sure about |
| 38 |
the order of events. |

Thanks for the tip. |
