Mine would be DELTREE
Mine would be DELTREE
FDISK, FORMAT, REN, and FTP
Right on RoboTech. Database input is still best served with a dos program. I still use Norton Disk Editor. I think it was one of the few programs from Norton that was worth a damn. It has gotten me out of too many jams to count. Another Norton program that I still use is the Norton File Manager from 94 0r 95. It is quick and easy to use and customise plus it allows me to format floppies in 1.4 Mb format or 1.6 Mb. It also allows full tree view with a single click. I also have a bunch of old SSI RPGs Advanced D & D from 1988 that I still enjoy. I wish someone would rewrite AUTODUEL for the PC. That was a Kick *** game. :cool:
Hmmm...
dir, whoami, attrib, pkzip/unzip, copy/xcopy, etc...
Try to stay away from DOS as much as possible, but sometimes the tried & true ways are still the best!
Ken
copy con <filename>
ztree? hmm I'll look for that.
Ever use a program called Qedit? uses old Wordstar commands..
Lost it a few years ago.. wish I still had it.. CTRL-K-S, CTRL-K-D, etc..
OH! and I have a regular customer who uses DBase II for his business!
Long, long ago (before I got my first copy of Windows 3.1), I got sick and tired of seeing "That directory is not empty" errors and wrote my own DOS app to remove entire directories and all their subdirectories. After I had it working to my satisfaction, someone said, "Dude, you coulda just used DELTREE." Doh!
*sigh* At least my version was a little faster than the one that shipped with DOS at the time (not that you would even notice a speed difference on today's computers).
I still use it from time to time whenever I can actually find the disk. :D
How about the original pkzip. You know, the one that started the whole .zip phenomenon. Call me weird but I still find myself creating compressed archives from the command prompt! Oh.. and how about the DOS version of scandisk or Norton Disk Doctor..? I find that these versions usually find and correct errors better then their Windows counterparts.Quote:

I used a program called CheckIt to burn-in test computers. Still use it once in a while to check for lock up issues with hardware. Just set it and forget it. I think it's about seven years old now.
Novell 3!!!
I still use an old micropost card, and book.
you know used for testing the system on post.
codes aren't really applicable any more, but i still use it.
If we're looking at non-"DOS" commands, it would have to be FX. Best little program I've had to link two machines with out nics.....even if it is slow :rolleyes:
fdisk......
There's just something about it that always brings a smile to my face.....
Oh my god! Who would have thought this would become a subject?
I still on occasion use:
pkzip/pkunzip
deltree
fdisk
format
mscdex
cls
edit
oh and don't forget load*.*,8,1
