My name is Leif-Erik Larsen, and I am proud to announce the release 
of Larsen Commander 1.0 for OS/2 Warp!

Larsen Commander is a powerful GUI File Manager and Command 
Processor that has a look and feel like the classic Norton Commander.
The most notable difference is that the Larsen Commander is pure GUI.
Still it has a built in command line and a scrollable console
monitor.

Larsen Commander combines the very best of two very different worlds
- the command line and the file management panels. Both available at
the same time, and even in parallel while commands are running in the
background!

The product has been in public beta for more than a year. This first
official version is therefore proven to be very stable and useful.

You can download it and find more information at:
