A powerful console two-panel file manager with expanded
support of archivators and FTP, CD, HEX. Unusual and
very convenient file manager for Dos - Win32 legacy

Similar of Norton two panels file manager for Dos/Windows 9x
with a lot of built-in utilities and functional settings.

is displayed next to the list of files; no need for the novice
or infrequent user to refer to a manual or a complex set
of help screens.

..........................................................
Dos Master 1.20 for DOS [118 kb]
This program was originally written because developer
found that 90 percent of the DOS housekeeping chores
that I do are the simple procedures of copying, deleting,
moving, comparing, and editing. Eighty percent of THOSE
chores are just copying selected files and deleting.
Unfortunately, it seems that most commercial packages feel
that you should be bombarded with endless pull-down menus
and pop-up screens that can often make the simple matter
of copying a few files from one directory to another a challenge
to the user. Basic Dos Master philosophy is KEEP IT SIMPLE!,
but with enough extras available to extend the usefulness
of the basic utilities.
