GNOME Commander 1.6.0 released
==============================

What is GNOME Commander?
------------------------

GNOME Commander is a "two-pane" graphical file manager for the GNOME
desktop environment. GNOME Commander aims to fulfill the demands of more
advanced users who like to focus on file management, their work through
special applications and running smart commands.
