FAR Manager (short for File and ARchive Manager) is an orthodox file manager for Microsoft Windows and a clone of Norton Commander. FAR Manager uses the Win32 console and has a keyboard-oriented user interface (although limited mouse operation, including drag-and-drop, is possible).
Originally, FAR Manager was written by Eugene Roshal (the creator of WinRAR), but since 2000 the development is carried on by a team called the FAR Group. The project's Unicode branch (2.0) is open-source (under the revised BSD license). All branches are available as 32- and 64-bit builds. FAR Manager is often viewed as a very customizable file manager and text editor, and a free alternative to Total Commander.

Famous quotes containing the word manager:
“Nothing could his enemies do but it rebounded to his infinite advantage,—that is, to the advantage of his cause.... No theatrical manager could have arranged things so wisely to give effect to his behavior and words. And who, think you, was the manager? Who placed the slave-woman and her child, whom he stooped to kiss for a symbol, between his prison and the gallows?”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
