Hello everyone -- These past several weeks I've decided to explore a few dozen or so DOS shells -- primarily freeware ones -- that seemed to offer something especially useful or interesting to me, and which I felt might also be of use to you. Here are a few:
1. DOS Navigator -- http://members.com.net/dos/fileman2.htm 2. DOS Controller -- http://members.com.net/dos/fileman2.htm 3. PC Valet -- http://members.cox.net/dos/fileman2.htm 4. Genesis Commander! -- www.simtel.net/ All of those above are freeware. It's surprising how creative various programmers have been with their many DOS shell projects, particularly when it comes to the variety of clones devoted to the Norton Commander model -- huge clones, tiny clones, Moldovan clones, Hungarian clones. You name it, there's a Norton Commander clone of just about every flavor imaginable. Why are there so many shells? Does our choice and use of these somehow give us a special identity -- like those cute remarks on T-shirts and bumper stickers? Or the neighborhoods we choose to live in, the careers we might pursue, or the styles with which we decorate our homes? I want to know. It fascinates me. Tell me about what DOS shells (if any) that *you* have used over the years or would recommend to others. And tell me what you think of those I've mentioned, if that interests you, and if you're familiar with them. Thank you.

But does it make a difference?! Net-Tamer V 1.11.2 - Registered PS -- If you know where I can find version 2.0 of Genesis Commander!, let me know. Every link to Christian Paukovits (the author) leads me nowhere. He used to have a university web site in Vienna, but now he's vanished. The only version I seem to be able to locate is v1.32. :- To unsubscribe from SURVPC send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe SURVPC in the body of the message.
