 |

| Quote: | Why is Total Commander 7.5 so much larger than Total Commander 7.0x?
Older versions of Total Commander were packed with the EXE packer UPX.
This makes the program itself much smaller. Unfortunately some virus
scanners do not like packed executables. They either take an awful lot
of time to scan the program each time you try to start it, or they
report a suspicious file.
Therefore Total Commander 7.5 is no longer packed. If you need to run
Total Commander 7.5 from a floppy disk, you can get an UPX-packed EXE
from our homepage:
http://www.ghisler.com/packed_download |
Apart from the fact that this is Version 8.0 (maybe "> 7.5"?) :
- Shouldn't there be an information about the size of the 64Bit version?
- Is an upx-packed Totalcmd64.exe version planned?
- What is a floppy disk  , and will the 64Bit version run from such a device?
Regards

@Sir_SiLvA
This was a joke. I'm old enough to remember 8" single sided disks.
I guess No, because the available space of such floppies is limited.

Well, the size change came with TC 7.5, that's why the text still mentions it...

In the current T.C. 8.0 beta2 SIZE!.TXT file the string "7.5" has been replaced by ">7.5". Therefore I guess we may consider this severe case closed.
Total Commander 8.0 beta2 64-bit
Total Commander 8.0 beta2 32-bit

Yes, that seemed the most logical change, although >= 7.5 would be the mathematically correct expression.
