Hi,

Yesterday, JP Software (http://www.jpsoft.com) has officially
released 4DOS 7.50, a powerful replacement for COMMAND.COM
incorporating thousands of convenient feature additions while
still maintaining a high level of compatibility with the
traditional commands. Similar enhanced command processors
exist for OS/2 (4OS2) and NT/2000/XP (4NT).

The bad news is, that unless they see some significant sales
of 4DOS (which works fine on any DOS 3.0 or higher, including
in Windows 3.xx/9x/SE/ME DOS boxes (partially even under
NT/2000/XP) and under OS/2, DR DOS 3.31 - 6.0, PalmDOS 1.0,
Novell DOS 7, OpenDOS 7.01, and DR-DOS 7.02 - 7.06) this
might be /the/ (or one of the very) last version(s) of 4DOS,
so I recommend to give it a try. 30-day trial shareware
versions can be downloaded from their site above.

The latest issue of 4DOS has many smaller enhancements and
some major new features, see the WHATSNEW.TXT file for details.

In particular DR-DOS 7.02+ users might be interested to learn
that the 4DOS help system has been significantly updated to
contain correct information about latest DR-DOS features, and
how to get the most out of this combination. 4DOS 7.50 even
incorporates a few changes to make 4DOS running under DR-DOS
as convenient as possible. Also interesting is, that DeviceLogics,
Inc. (http://www.devicelogics.com, http://www.drdos.com), new
owners of DR-DOS, now also act as a 4DOS distributor.

Greetings,

 Matthias
