Console file managers |
|
.......................................................... |
|
|
 |
Archive Lister 2.55 for Dos/Win32 [605 kb] |
|
|
|
A powerful console two-panel file manager with expanded |
|
support of archivators and FTP, CD, HEX. Unusual and |
|
very convenient file manager for Dos - Win32 legacy |
|
systems. |
|
|
|
.......................................................... |
|
|
|
Dos Navigator 1.51 [786 kb] |
|
|
|
Similar of Norton two panels file manager for Dos/Windows 9x |
|
with a lot of built-in utilities and functional settings. |
|
Wastes a lot of base memory in DOS. I recommend using it |
|
only in conjunction with Qemm97! |
|

Directory Freedom 4.00 for DOS [786 kb] |
|
|
|
DF is very simple to use. A menu of DF's basic functions |
|
is displayed next to the list of files; no need for the novice |
|
or infrequent user to refer to a manual or a complex set |
|
of help screens. |

|
Dos Master 1.20 for DOS [118 kb] |
|
|
|
This program was originally written because developer |
|
found that 90 percent of the DOS housekeeping chores |
|
that I do are the simple procedures of copying, deleting, |
|
moving, comparing, and editing. Eighty percent of THOSE |
|
chores are just copying selected files and deleting. |
|
Unfortunately, it seems that most commercial packages feel |
|
that you should be bombarded with endless pull-down menus |
|
and pop-up screens that can often make the simple matter |
|
of copying a few files from one directory to another a challenge |
|
to the user. Basic Dos Master philosophy is KEEP IT SIMPLE!, |
|
but with enough extras available to extend the usefulness |
|
of the basic utilities. |
