Topic: Bow Commander (Spectrum 128k + EsxDos) - A two-panel file-manager

Bow Commander – a file manager for the ZX Spectrum 128K

Two-panel file manager for the ZX Spectrum 128K running on DivMMC/esxDOS.

What it can do:

    Two independent panels with copy, move, rename, delete, and make directory
    The "copy," "move," and "delete" commands can also process subdirectories when applied to directories.
    Multi-select with wildcard masks (e.g. *.TAP), plus quick search-as-you-type
    File/directory info (size, date, attributes, recursive directory scan)
    A built-in file viewer (text/hex/decimal, with search)
    A built-in text editor (gap buffer under the hood, so it stays fast regardless of file size, with smart partial-screen redraws and key auto-repeat)
    Press ENTER on a .TAP/.SNA to load and run it straight from the panel
    A pull-down menu as well as keyboard shortcuts for everything
