I found some very good sites featuring a good collection of DOS utilities list. Altough thereīre some very simple and small programs, but is a good source for people searching for good DOS related information.
Enjoy :ok:


Steenīs DOS page

Oldskool PC

Some batch utilities (more technicall)

Custom and original boot disks

Interesting DOS programs (MP3, MPEG and DIVx in a DOS machine? Excellent)

USB drivers for...DOS

Arachne. Web browser for DOS machines...it works I tested it some time ago

F-Prot antivirus for DOS. A DOS based system is a virus free environment, but itīs good to have a modern antivirus for it. Last but no least, is FREE

A little something for DOS users:

Pkzip / Pkunzip packing utility

RAR, another packaging tool

So that's it for packaging programs, more tools will follow.

nice link needed them

Grinder 29-05-2005 04:11 PM

always glad to be of help.

oh, and if you are looking for
games that fit on a single diskette,
here are two shareware Sites:

The first one, with a long list of games smaller than 50 KB, very useful for my old 286 ;)

Second one, they have more serious games (as opposed to fan-made games)

(Note to the Admins: I don't want to advertise for other sites, i looove abandonia:bleh:)

now how did i miss this thread?
i'll pin this
also i think we should have a separate ''dos users only forum'' where we can discuss about dos

Grinder 01-06-2005 08:50 AM

thank you, omoletzu!
And, btw, i also had the idea of a pure dos user thread.
that's why i started that poll dos or dosbox.

here's some other links:
Dos Command Center, some say it's even better than NC

A very good CD-Player for DOS

Diskcopy program, supports about 23 formats

DIARY, an electronic diary program

More will follow later...

Grinder 22-06-2005 09:30 AM

No downloads, but a nice museums:

The Obsolete Computer Museum

Old-Computers

Sierra's own Adventure Museum

Have fun!

Grinder 23-07-2005 12:51 PM

Another nice "museum", but mainly for videogames:

Vidgame.net

And some DOS-related stuff:

The FreeDOS Project

All the DOS commands, very helpful

Who needs M$-D0$, anyway?

Hope to be of help. Why don't you other people share a few
URLs and/or tips with us?
