[RESOLVED] What's the oldest utility/program you still regularly use?

What is the oldest utility you still use on a regular basis?

Being DOS based myself (from the days of the TRS-80 and beyond), I still spend a lot of time in a DOS window. I constantly use MJOG (memory jogger) from 1993 and Vernon Buerg's LIST program 1995), but my prize goes to RENQ (prompted renamer) from 1985.

FORMAT or DIR

I don't really use that many "old" DOS commands anymore, unless fdisk, attrib, and all the other commons are considered old.

is CTRL+ALT+DEL considered a dos command?
it worked under DOS even in the early days and i dont think a day goes by that we dont use it.

dir, format, fdisk, and dosftp....yes...use the last one a lot....

I've got a buddy who still uses Norton Commander in dos. He claims that it's still as much of a useful program as it was the day he first got it. Oh, by the way... is there any dos left in WinME? Sooner or later it will be a thing of the past...

Not including the others mentioned (fdisk, format) how about cardfile.exe from win3.1.

Windows-ME DOS

I believe I found a link to this page here on Windrivers not sure what forum though. I have not tested this yet, but it says you can still have access to dos under Win ME

FORMAT!!!!! and more specificaly: format c: :D hehe I use it all the time

Norton Disk Editor. Still a decent hex editor for "browsing" through EXE files.

Norton Commander. I drop out to a DOS prompt & run NC if I want to actually SEE what's in a file.

Remember the Superscape frame rate benchmark? The spinning PC and the letters H A L dropping down? Still use it on an ancient box for soak testing monitors.

WinZip of course.. been using it since the days of 40 megabyte hard disc's!

"ON"....followed by a close second "OFF".

Next to those it would have to be Winzip

Format C: fdisk ctrl + alt + delete

EDIT!
