Thank you to the author of MC

[Robert Black <simstick gmail com>]

When I was teaching myself Linux about nine years ago and X was still having 
growing pains Midnight Commander probably meant the difference between 
learning linux and giving up as most work was done from the command line. 
I realized today that I never said thanks back then when it probably would 
have meant a lot more. Not sure what the status of the original author is but 
if anyone knows let me know.
