First, because all OSX users would be new customers, not old customers simple downloading updates for free. (just and idological thing, not because they are deadbeats, I am a linux user my self) However, OSX side might in fact be very, very profitable for Ghisler and company. The Linux side of things would not be very profitable, as Linux users in general do not like paying for software. Also, there are frameworks available for Delphi to also make it cross compilable.Īs a result, I was wondering if Ghisler might be interested in perhaps cooperating with another developer, perhaps some one skilled in OSX and Linux coding, to port the Total Commander first to a crosscompilable framework, and then to OSX and Linux. Total Commander is written in Delphi 2, which is a derivative of Pascal.

However, I did notice that Double Commander can be compiled cross-platform due to it's use of Free Pascal toolkits. The Double Commander is a grate little clone of Total Commander, but the development on it is so painfully slow, and at the moment it's just much too buggy. Out of those the only solid alternative at the moment is muCommander. I love the Operating system, and even more so, I love the hardware. I have recently made the switch to mac, and for the most part I am very happy.

I know this has been proposed and rejected in the past, but I know there is a serious need and desire for total commander on mac and linux operating systems.
