I've been using this interface since, what was it?, 1982, that's twenty 
years, it's coming out in my blood samples now. :^)

Started with Norton, went to Volkov, when I needed long file names switched 
to Windows Commander, that is not free but shareware, but nonetheless a 
great program, and the best I've seen on any Windows until now. Christian 
Ghisler still has a 16-bit version for Win3.1!

I'm not current on the MC port to Windows, or whether it can run under 
Cygwin, but it sure would be nice.
