You can download it and find more information at

   http://home.sol.no/~leilarse/lcmd/index.html

This is the last free beta release before the 1.0 shareware release. the author had hoped to make support for ZIP-files in the 1.0 release, but it will have to wait until version 1.1 when it is considered to be stable and snappy enough. It will come, however.

You can download version 0.99.8 from the URL above. This is still a Beta release, so be aware that it possibly contain some bugs -saids Larsen.

 - But this version should be very stable. There are no serious bugs that I am aware of. I will continue to develop Larsen Commander, and you will always find the latest public release at this page first. I will only upload and make public the versions of Larsen Commander that are considered to be stable - saids the developer.

Larsen Commander is freeware at the time being, but it will turn into shareware as soon as it reach version 1.0. Until then you are free to use the Larsen Commander beta at no cost at all. I will only ask you for comments and bug reports, which you can send to leifel@online.no.
