When I do do any browsing, which admittedly isn't very
often, but does happen once in a while, I use a version of
Lynx for DOS... (My DOS computer does have some *nix
commands on it, too, courtesy of my resident Wizard, who
used a Unix mainframe at work at one time...) I can't do
Ok, how about sharing?
Not sure just what you are after... but, my Wizard
suggested you look for something called The Berkeley
Utilities... He found them on the web back in 2004, they
are standard Unix commands for DOS, up-to-date as of Win98
(so they recognize long file names). He says that if you
can't find them he could send you a copy of them.
Maybe make that the rule?
It probably is sort of an unwritten one... but one doesn't
necessarily know what anyone would glom onto... ;)
any Java, though... but I rarely need it for what I'm
doing. On the occasional time that I do, we just go to the
Wizard's machine, which does have Java capabilities...
Dos with Java? Or Windows or Linux?
No, that's Windows(98) with Java... that's the machine
that also has more protection on it, not being straight DOS
and so less vulnerable.

Nope, My dosbox has a 40gb HDD, I tricked the BIOS into
seeing the whole HDD with ez-bios. You know MS-DOS can't
use anyting over 2gb.

Romdos can. Though I really haven't gotten much into it. Google
it and get the free version.
I know it's designed for embedded applications, but not sure
what you get with it. I can only find the $495 version.
Where do you get a free one?
... At a store: In God we trust; all others pay cash.

Ah...
I guess I'll stick with MS-DOS ... It works. Anyhoo ez-bios
setup my 20gb HDD just fine, into 2gb partitions.
Of minimal interest is the fact that DRDOS will read CP/M formatted
floppies without any special software.

Any form of Windows, less vulnerable than Dos? Excuse me, I have
to go lie down.
Romdos does bigger partitions, and has network stuff in it
that sounds useful. I believe you can remote control it.
Which sounds good for embedded operation.
The old DrDOS, IBM-DOS, and FreeDOS, are available for
free and very good. I try not to have any dealings with
Microsoft because I can't accept their ethics, but
DOS is pretty good anyway, and 6.22 is only 133568 bytes.

Never used DrDOS or the others you quoted. I do have quite a
few /good/ freeware apps tho.

IBM is still selling PC-DOS, so it probably isn't free. I have version 6.3, which is Y2K compatible. Norton had a pretty good DOS product
too (NDOS), they included it with the old Norton Utilities package.

M$ has never displayed any, beginning with the first version of DOS -
which contained code lifted directly and without either permission or attribution from Digital Research's CP/M-86.

Had a look, is romdos a OS?
I have DRDOS versions 5, 7 and (Novell DOS) 7, plus PC-DOS
6.3. The DRDOS product is smaller than the equivalent M$
product and runs better and faster. I never found any DOS -
or Windows 3x - programs that wouldn't run just fine on the
DR product.

Sounds kinna cool hu. After installing a bunch of third party programs into
MS-DOS 6.22 I have the same thing. I not a /big/ fan of MS either, just been
using their software for years now. :(
Microsoft, their DOS is perfectly well written and not
something I would complain about. Some of their utilities
are another matter though.
Microsoft... the people who brought you Edlin.
