Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Volkov Commander is an old file manager for DOS, in the close tradition of Norton Commander. The Volkov Commander has been completely written in assembly language, thus very small (less than 100KB) and fast. Volkov Commander was written by Vsevolod V. Volkov, a programmer from Ukraine, born in 1971. The stable version of the program is released as shareware. A preview version is also available, which is interchangeably mentioned as an Alpha or Beta release at the website. (The Webmaster for the public face of VC was Daniel R. Egner of Germany.)
