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


Steen´s 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 it´s 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.

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

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...

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?
