Template:Infobox software Volkov Commander (VC) è un file manager per DOS ispirato al Norton Commander. Volkov Commander è scritto totalmente in linguaggio Assembly ed è molto leggero (meno di 100 KB) e veloce.

Volkov Commander è stato scritto da Vsevolod V. Volkov, programmatore ucraino nato nel 1971. La versione stabile del programma è stata rilasciata come shareware. A preview version is also available, which is interchangeably mentioned as an Alpha or Beta release on the website. The Webmaster for the public face of VC was Daniel R. Egner of Germany.

Version 4[modifica | modifica wikitesto]

Version 4.05 is the last fully functional release of the Volkov Commander. It is a pure DOS application, so it doesn't support special features of Windows 9x like long filenames. (Apart from that, it can be used under Windows 9x.) Besides the Russian version, there is an English one. Version 4 is shareware and can be tested free for 30 days.

Version 4.99[modifica | modifica wikitesto]

Vsevolod Volkov was working on a new version 5 of his commander (VC 5). It was still in a phase of development. This upgrade works in a Windows 9x / Windows NT or OS/2 environment. VC 5 supports long filenames, and can explore archives (*.zip, *.arc, *.rar, etc.) as though they were directories. When updated last time, the actual beta release was version 4.99.08 alpha. Most of the features of the final release are already available. Though it is a pure DOS application, the new commander supports some of the special features of Windows 95/98/NT. "Beta version (4.99.xx), of course, can be tested for free, because in this stadium of development it does not yet represent a complete program."

Rumored later version[modifica | modifica wikitesto]

Rumours about existing Version 5 of Volkov Commander:

In the community, someone posted about the existing VC 5. Here is what Vsevolod answered:

[...] VC 5.0 is a fake. The last released version is 4.99.08 alpha. [...] I really didn't release new version for very long time. So, development of VC is hold in fact. But I don't exclude possibility of new releases. I have no roadmap and could not promise something."^[1]Template:Unreliable source?

VC 4.99.08 is included within UBCD v3.4, as part of the general FreeDOS base package.
