From JPSoft's email of today, annoucing their new
4NT 6.0 and Take Command 6.0, and...:

<clip>
"There will be no new version of 4DOS. 4DOS 7.50 has now been
released as a free and unsupported program; check our web site
for details"
</clip>

See their download page,
<http://www.jpsoft.com/download.htm>
under "Older Unsupported (FREE) Products"

All the best,
Bjorn Simonsen
 
Out of laziness I guess (to look things up) does the 4dos shell support FAT32
and/or long filenames? In otherwords, can it be used as a dos shell for windows
9x?

Just adding <ftp://jpsoft.com/4dos/files/intro.txt>.
Btw nice to see you are still around :)

Yes, it works quite well. In fact, I use it as my primary shell in
win98. Here's the entry in config.sys that sets that up:

shell=d:\4dos\4dos.com d:\4dos /p

My system never loads command.com unless I specifically choose to.

In alt.msdos.batch, on 25 Sep 2004, Klaus Meinhard, long time
maintainer of the now deceased 4xbtm site (collection of 4DOS and 4NT
related stuff/batch tricks etc.) typed in

<copy>
to help new users to quickly get started with the now free 4DOS I
have written a small FAQ which I intend to post from time to time
(don't worry, not every week). I will include a link to the
Google message number of that FAQ in my future postings. I'm
looking forward to receive corrections and additions to the text.

The same day he posted his first edition of that FAQ, in:

Watch the <alt.msdos.batch> group for updates...or
