I feel handicapped working with explorer
editing, appstart, ftp , dosprompt, archive handling
as they were folders, app start etc.
But I had to "fool" myself to begin with, so that
hitting explorer icon took me to windows commander  
Fits on a floppy, takes little resources.
Has LPT cable connection possibility(laplink, lynx)
comes in 16-bit version for older systems.

Well as you can tell I'm really happy with it.
It was my use of Norton Commander on old dos machines
which got me interested in it (It is a clone of NC
like FAR is).
