X16 File Manager (XFM) is a Norton Commander-clone. It supports all basic file and directory management functions as well as launching tokenized basic programs and machine language programs, AND return to XFM as soon the program exits. So a true Norton Commander feeling.
Whats new in v2.0
Version 2.0 has been a major refactoring run. The main goal was to shrink the prg size. Allthough the previous version already fitted in a rombank (16kb), there wasn't much room for new features. With this major refactoring run, I've managed to free up 5kb and improve performance on several parts and fixed some bugs I encountered. So there is plenty room for additional features.

XFM is now available in a rom-version. Download romfm.bin into the emulator directory and run the emulator with:

First impression of the ROM version that I tested was really good. Nice work!

At the one year anniversary of the initial development of X16 File Manager, I've just released the newest version.

5kb size reduction nothing to sneeze at! Good job on this tool!
