Hi all,
Can someone please tell me what are the best GUIs available for FreeDOS?
Naturally, this is a double question, since GUIs fall into two categories:
1) Text-mode GUIs
2) Graphical GUIs
So, which GUI(s) would you recommend for each category?

Hi :-) A nice thread to ponder some free alternatives for
all those fine classic DOS programs from back then :-)

Harbour / xHarbour are free DBase Clipper (database scripting

See also their harbour-project.org web site :-)
First of all Harbour and xHarbour are pretty much two completely

Any idea why OpenGEM is the only GUI environment listed on the

if you look hard withing the website you do find the reference to
other GUIs, such as the Icon GUI. So why OpenGEM is the only

Hi!
Actually, what I had in mind when I asked about GUIs was just GUIs
themselves, not application using them. But it was nice to see...
The starting point of my exploration on DOS-based GUIs was:

Just to be clear, which is the best Pascal version available to date

Perhaps TP 3.0 - maximal effect taken out of minimum of code?

Don't forget various Forth variants.
By production-ready I also mean that they must have a minimal set of

Depends, what actually you mean by

You rather have to use what is available, and that is fairly limited...
There is easily an implementation for more than half of those, but
