It was dropped in IBM-DOS 7.0 and MS Windows95. apt-cache show mc ... Description: Midnight Commander - A powerful file manager. - normal version Midnight Commander is a feature-rich file manager. It has mouse support in a linux console and in an xterm. It started as a Norton Commander clone but now it is far superior to it. Among other things it can do FTP, includes a hex editor, comes with an internal editor which can be invoked separately as 'mcedit' and lets you do most system administration tasks. Dosshell was more likely another example of Microsoft's way of finding new features for Dos/Windows - find a feature/program that you like and imitate it.
