FAR 2.0 build 1017 Beta / 2.0 Build 981

FAR 2.0 build 1017 Beta / 2.0 Build 981 is an effective application designed for managing files and archives in Windows operating systems. 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.
