If you do use DOS again I have a copy of Xtree Gold.
Also, I might just be able to get my hands on Desqview. Nothing sepcial about it except it had almost all the fuctionality and feature of Windows 95, about ten years earlier. The problem would be finding a 5¼" floppy drive. Well, that and a couple hundred worth of RAM, which is probably worth about fifty cents now.

You make me remember things I'd hoped I'd never think of again.
My boyfriend in college built me my own version of DOS. It had an ascii picture of my likeness, a sexy startup quote, and lots of secret commands that regular DOS didn't have. I'd sometimes take the boot disk to my internship and start the PC with that instead of whatever they were using.
Were you one of those that played Moria? It, Hack, and other ascii-dungeons came pretty late in the DOS reign (2d graphics games were starting up at the same time but they were mostly lame--except for "Jill of the Jungle" [;)]), but I found Moria very entertaining--even though I couldn't win it. I loved to walk into a "room" and find packed to the brim with @'s and %'s and &'s. Eeek! My master won it, though, by learning a cheat from someone else that gave him unlimited object wealth. He refused to stop playing it until he defeated the "Balhog."
