FAR Manager works in text mode and provides a simple and intuitive
interface for performing most of the necessary actions: viewing files
and directories, editing, copying and renaming files and many other
operations.FAR Manager has a multi-language, easily configurable
interface. File system navigation is made easier through the use of
color highlighting and file sort groups.
The functionality of
FAR Manager is greatly extended by external DLL modules - plugins (made
possible by a special set of interfaces - the "Plugins API").
For example, archive support, the FTP client, the temporary panel and
the network browser are all implemented as plugins included in the
standard distribution of FAR.
