4DOS ver. 7.5 has just been released for free.  It is 16 bit and says that
it only runs on Win9x/Me, but I wonder if it might work in the NT DOS
subsystem.

These are replacement console shells for command.com or cmd.exe.  They have
a lot more functionality than the MS programs; I'd put them as a lot closer
to bash in functionality than command.com/cmd.exe.  in some ways they may be
more functional than bash, in others less.  I'm still at ver. 5.5 so I
really couldn't compare.

Oh, and I'm still at 2.52A. With they very fast old-style help 4NT.HLP at <F1>. (< 0.3 sec) No waiting for the CHM subsystem (MSIE...) to come up. (2-3 sec) -- Reini Urban http://xarch.tu-graz.ac.at/home/rurban/
