Total Commander 7.50 is in the open

One of the tools I have used the longest on the windows platforms are Total Commander, previously known as Windows Commander. The license I have is from 1996. That I get for helping with beta testing. Before that I used it at work where they had a license. It was back in the windows 3.11 days, and I had been a big user of Norton commander in DOS.

So what is new in 7.50. I guess full UNICODE support is the big one. But now also I think Ghisler has let go of the idea of the install have to fit into a floppy. OK, I do not know if or when it got to large. But I guess whit the new help file there is no return. So now the response, it will not fit within the size limit.

Also, Ghisler is now maintaining sftpplug. The problem is that he still can not export the whole package since the laws in his country. So you have to download some files separately. Two DLLs from libcurl.
