Zeal Commander (or zc) is a visual file manager.
It is heavily inspired by Midnight Commander.
Zeal Commander is a full-screen, text-mode program that allows you to copy, move, and delete files and entire directory trees, search for files, and execute programs.
Warning
Zeal Commander reads and writes data to all of your mounted disk devices.
- Rename - Rename files or directories
- Copy - Copy files

Zeal Commander supports directories with up to 255 entries. If your directory contains more than 255 entries, the remaining entries will not be listed.
Note
Execute is enabled for files that do not have an extension, or end in .bin
Note
Change font works with .f12 files, commonly used for DOS Fonts with an 8x12 font layout.
Refer to Memory Mapping
for Zeal Video Board on the exact format of fonts.
Note
Theming is currently only supported by recompiling a custom binary.
Three themes are provided in the current source, THEME_DEFAULT, THEME_DARK and THEME_BRIGHT

Zeal Commander supports Theming by defining custom constants in theme.h.
Default Theme
Dark Theme
Bright Theme
You can define custom themes, by adding the following constants to theme.h
The TEXT_COLOR_* constants are from zos_video.asm or zos_video.h
