Hi Team, can you please help me out.
Looking for a freeware File Manager which will run under DOS and from a
Floppy Disk.
TIA

I'd use DOS Navigator+ (DN+).
When I had troubles and couldn't get into Windows,
it helped me out very well.
DOS' "copy *.*" does not copy subdirectories,
and if you want to copy a tree like that it's a big job.
A great DN+ advantage is that it can copy trees.

Need a small (freeware) command-line unzipper?

Hello Guys,
Thanks very much for the suggestions and help. I will check them all out
now.
Had a major lock-up the other day and then it refused to reboot. Big
headaches for a while and it's not easy trying to identify files and
directories from dos when all the names are well in excess of the dos 8
letter limit :~( I'm now putting together a rescue set of floppys
programs.
Thanks again.
Leo
 
I've heard of programs supporting long file names in DOS.
Freeware, yes. Maybe I even have some, but I'm not sure.
Does anyone know?
If not, you could try Google anyway.
Good luck!
 
But OFF TOPIC I guess...:(
