Hi all, I accidently found McShell previously unknown to me (as it nearly disappeared from the net). I did put some screenshots here: http://aurora.homelinux.net/photo/dosscrn/dosscrn.html
and a link to the binaries here: ftp://aurora.homelinux.net/public/dos/extra/Xwindow/McShell/MCSHEL31.ZIP The owner of the product is Mike Manning, I wrote to him regarding licensing issues. He wrote he would probably be interested to take off with the development again together with the peoole of boot-land.net if there is interest / time enough. Though he can not release the source but says that the development of additional drivers / applications is possible. (McShell is his property and offers it for free.) I wrote these for your information. Here is a short description of the capabilities of McShell: Features: * CDRom Player with UPC Catalog feature * View & Print ZIP, ARC, ARJ, EXE, LZH & SIT archive files using Drag & Drop feature. View BMP & PCX files and use them as your back drop. Small image files will auto-tile when used as the background for your Desktop. More Image formats to come! * Print Manager, Spools files to print queue where they are sent to the in the background, allowing you to continue working. * Built in Disk Format & Disk Copy.
