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:
“I knew a gentleman who was so good a manager of his time that he would not even lose that small portion of it which the calls of nature obliged him to pass in the necessary-house, but gradually went through all the Latin poets in those moments. He bought, for example, a common edition of Horace, of which he tore off gradually a couple of pages, read them first, and then sent them down as a sacrifice to Cloacina: this was so much time fairly gained.”
—Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
