That version at Hobbes is version 4.5.6r2 from august 1999, built using EMX 0.9c .
According to https://midnight-commander.org/ the most recent version is version 4.8.28 from march 2022 , but no OS/2 version is listed there.

Dave Yeo:
IIRC, Midnight Commander has X11 dependencies and some other shortcomings, for sure no large file support. Whereas File Commander is a native OS/2 program that has been ported to Windows and Linux so fits into OS/2 well, things like clipboard support which IIRC was lacking in MC.

Eugene Tucker:
I too have found the File commander app to be indispensable too and have used it since I started with OS/2 2.0 back in the 90's for a lot of editing.

jailbird:
I finally got a newer version of the old vi clone Elvis ( https://github.com/mbert/elvis ) working!
