DR-DOS and OpenDOS 7.01 / 7.02 / 7.03 — The Digital Research-Novell-Caldera-Lineo DOSes, now free.

* * * * *

[updated 2005-06-22]

DR-DOS, direct descendant of Digital Research's CP/M, the first OS for microcomputers, has been upgraded and expanded to compete very well against other DOSes for the PC. Variants of it can handle large FAT32 multi-partition hard disks, networking and more. And it works with Windows 3.x!

A very brief (and possibly confusing) business history: Digital Research developed DR-DOS up to v6.0, then sold it to Novell, Inc., which renamed it Novell DOS, and then developed it up to v7. The next owner, Caldera Systems (now part of The SCO Group, Inc.) renamed it OpenDOS and released v7.01 and v7.02. Ownership next passed to Lineo (originally Caldera Thin Clients, and now Metrowerks), which changed the name OpenDOS 7.02 to DR-DOS 7.02, and then released v7.03. The current owner, DRDOS, Inc. (formerly Devicelogics, Inc.) sells bootable and embedded variants of v7.03 and of its own v8.x.

Digital Research	Novell	Caldera	Lineo	DRDOS, Inc.
DR-DOS 6	Novell DOS 6
	Novell DOS 7	OpenDOS 7.01
	OpenDOS 7.02	DR-DOS 7.02
	DR-DOS 7.03	DR-DOS 7.03
	DR-DOS 8.x

The Caldera-Lineo versions 7.01 / 7.02 / 7.03 are available at the download sites listed below, and are free for private, non-commercial use. FAT32 & LFN drivers, and other OS and PNW support files, are also available. For antique collectors, there is CP/M 2.2.

DR-DOS 7.04/7.05 — A DR-DOS that manages FAT32 & LBA hard drives.

unrated

[added 2005-06-22]

DR-DOS 7.04/7.05 was developed by Ontrack Data Recovery in 1999 for use on bootable diskettes, to read FAT32 and LBA hard drives without loading external drivers. The files have been used by Ontrack and by Seagate Technology with hard drive diagnostic and recovery tools, and by IBM with installer tools.

DR-DOS 7.04/7.05 is not a complete OS, but consists only of the three kernel files. The double version number reflects the differing file IDs: IBMBIO.COM and IBMDOS.COM are labeled internally as 7.04; COMMAND.COM is labeled as both 7.04 and 7.05, but is reported on bootup and by VER as 7.05 only.

Despite the limited original purpose, the files can be installed on a system hard drive as part of a complete OS: Doing so is as simple as overwriting a DR-DOS 7.03 installation with the new files.

Caution: There may be incompatibilities between the 7.04/7.05 kernel and some external programs. When two or more hard disks are in use, drive letter assignments might change. Test well! (And think about going to Enhanced DR-DOS or FreeDOS instead, with the same disk handling, better system integration and other new features).

Bug: The RENAME command does not work. But help is available – A fix for the RENAME bug in OEM DR-DOS 7.04/7.05 is an online HTML page that contains a documented DEBUG patch for IBMDOS.COM, as well as other info on DR-DOS 7.04/7.05.

FreeDOS — Free MS-DOS clone with many improvements.

* * * *

[updated 2004-12-18]

'The goal...is to create a free implementation of MS-DOS' that 'Works on old hardware, in DOS emulators, and in embedded systems.' Some components can be plugged into any DOS. With many new and enhanced functions, and an impressive array of addons, this DOS is worth serious attention.

Authors: The many contributors to the FreeDOS Project, founded and coordinated by Jim Hall.

2004-11-30: Beta 9 Service Release #1.

Go to the Files page for downloads.

Go to The FreeDOS Project for support programs, news and links to related sites.

Linux users: See DOSEMU, further down this page, for a variant of this OS.

Also worth visiting is FreeDOS-32, a project 'to provide a heavily modularized framework to enable features that legacy DOS systems don't have, like 32-bit flat memory model, optimized I/O, support for many file systems, compatibility layers, support for modern standards...'

Still-breathing, major commercial DOSes — Not freeware, but stuff that many people come here searching for.

IBM PC DOS 2000 (PC DOS 7 with Y2K fix) is still available and is worth considering, if you are willing to pay for a 16-bit DOS. Take a look at its feature set, at IBM's DOS & REXX page. If you already have PC DOS 7, get the free Y2K fix, in any of 14 languages, at the Y2K Fixpak page.

MS-DOS is no longer sold or supported by MS. Also, MS has apparently shut down its ftp site, once a source of free updates, supplements, etc. Try a search for anything you need, from vendors of older software, and from ftp sites that still have support files online.

4DOS and 4OS2 — Enhanced command processor replacements for DOS and for OS/2.

* * * * *

[added 2004-10-29, updated 2005-08-03]

The well known 4DOS and 40S2, replacements for the DOS command.com, and for the OS/2 command.cmd, are now freeware. Both of them contain all of the commands of the files they replace, plus many more. A few examples, from the docs:

• LIST displays the contents of files in text or hexadecimal mode, lets you search a file, and can print either an entire file or a single page
• The FFIND command searches for files based on their names and their contents.
• SELECT lets you pick the files you want to work with from a 'point and shoot' display.
• EXCEPT – and a related feature, 'exclude' ranges – let you work with all of the files in a directory except those that you want to exclude.

4DOS and 4OS2 also have powerful batch processing, and many other capabilities. If you need to know more before you download either one, get the 4DOS Introduction and Installation Guide intro.txt (71K), or the Reference Manual ref50.zip (pdf file, zipped, 1.5MB).

Connect (CN, IBM Handshaker) — Integrated shell with impressive Norton Commander-style file manager.

* * * *

[added 1998-10-29, updated 2004-11-09]

Among freeware programs, Connect is truly in a class of its own. Connect is not just a file manager – but a multi-component programming environment and general shell. Connect can function as a nearly complete 'desktop' environment. It sports a text mode, mouse- & menu-driven, multiple document ('Borland') interface. The various components share a common clipboard (even the configuration text boxes have clipboard support). Screenshot.

Connect incorporates several noteworthy units that should interest the non-programmer:

• File Manager: Movable, sizable, and iconize-able directory panels allow you to view as much – or as little – information as desired (even the width of the name column is adjustable to show short or long filenames under Win9x). Drag and drop copy and move capability. One prominent feature is the 'unfold subdirectories' option which allows you to display a single virtual directory of files contained in multiple selected directories and their subdirectories. Connect displays popular archives as directories, displays file descriptions, and has Win9x LFN and clipboard support. Includes a good file finder which can search in archives. Here's a 720 x 400 screenshot.
• Viewers for text, dbase, and html (with hyperlink navigation – nice).
• Impressive text editor handles large files; permits multi-file text search / replace with regular expressions. Capable of Drag and Drop of text between *different* editing windows. Screenshot.
• Capable hex editor (can hex-edit multiple files).
• Other: VT100 terminal (with X-, Y-, Z-modem, Kermit protocol support), phonebook, dialer, alarm, print spooler, CD player, programming features, and lots more.
• Y2K compliant.

See the included READMEEN.HTM for an English overview of features. For a more in-depth evaluation of Connect see the OFM Paradigm page at Softpanorama.

Install notes: Unzip with create directories option. Modify cn.bat to point to Connect directory, adjust default archive and other settings as necessary. Installed files require about 6MB.

Disadvantages: Some configuration settings are nested deep within menus and may be difficult to locate during the initial learning phase. Many readers will not benefit from the help files because they are composed in Russian only.

Tips: Investigate the interface with the mouse – there are many context sensitive areas. Press both left and right mouse buttons when attempting to use drag and drop copy in file manager (and editor). Many file manager setting dialogs (e.g., display options, archive settings) are accessed through a right button pop up menu in file manager (same for the terminal). To view DBF files select a dbf file and invoke the VIEW command.

Here's another review.

Mi-Shell (MSH) — Configurable and programmable Norton Commander-like shell.

unrated

[added 2004-12-17, updated 2005-12-08]

This large program can be run in one of two basic ways: 'Out of the box' as an expanded Norton-style shell, or user-configured by means of scripts (ASCII files) and substitution of components. Mi-Shell starts up using a default script, CONFIG.MSH, which is itself a program, written in the MSH script language, that sets parameters for shell functions. CONFIG.MSH also calls up other, external programs that perform many functions. User-configuration can consist of changing the operation of internal functions, or replacing the default external programs, or both.

Some default support programs that can be changed by the user: On opening, Mi-Shell looks for the Berkeley Utilities, and will use some of them for standard functions. File / directory comparison tool is Delta. File editor is the standalone MWE (this one is included). Mi-Shell has many other functions, and many possibilities for expansion through use of the scripting language.

*SMALLER* LINUX DISTROS COMPATIBLE WITH DOS PARTITIONS

These can coexist with DOS/Win9x on the same partition.

BasicLinux (BL3) — A small Linux with Internet support.

unrated

[added 2000-10-15, updated 2005-08-03]

This newer Linux distro was designed to run on minimal hardware, yet it includes TCP/IP networking capabilities (ppp/plip/ethernet/slattach), an adequate set of networking applications (web browser, ftp, telnet, fetchmail, router/firewall), and other tools (Pico text editor, bash, and several unix tools).

BasicLinux runs in a 4MB RAM device giving it a degree of quickness even on slower 386es. Although many ramdisk-based Linux distributions are designed to be booted from floppies, the distribution files for BasicLinux (~2MB) can be unzipped to a hard disk directory and Linux can be booted immediately from the DOS prompt. Although you can also boot from pre-prepared floppies (2 req.), a HD boot will obviously be quicker (e.g., about 80 sec. from boot command to login prompt on my 386sx/20 w/8MB RAM, which is fast compared to floppy-only Linux distros). Because it runs in a ramdisk, BasicLinux is a fairly safe distribution to use for learning and experimenting; however, it does permit mounting (and modification) of other drives and was not designed for tutorial purposes (e.g., lacks man pages). A package is available for installing to a dedicated Linux partition.

As distributed, BasicLinux provides only about 800K free space in the 4MB ramdisk but an additional 4MB ramdisk can be created if you have 16MB+ RAM. You can mount other drives in order to permanently save work from the ramdisk, but you'll need to be comfortable with creating mount points and mounting devices. The DOS version of BL3 boots from DOS on a hard drive, runs in a loop file, and requires a 386+ CPU, 3MB RAM, and a DOS (including Win 9x/MS-DOS 7). The Floppy version runs in a ramdisk, from two diskettes, and requires a 386+ CPU, 12MB RAM, two 1.44MB diskettes (or one 2.88MB?). BasicLinux is derived from Slackware 3.5 and Linux kernel 2.2.16.

ZipSlack — Small Linux distribution, part of Slackware package, still in development.

unrated

[added 07-22-01, updated 2005-12-08]

Not really small, but a reliable package that is worth considering. From the publisher:

ZipSlack is a special edition of Slackware Linux that can be installed onto any FAT (or FAT32) filesystem with about 100 MB of free space. It uses the UMSDOS filesystem and contains most of the programs you will need. This means that you do not need to repartition your hard disk if you already have DOS or Windows installed. ZipSlack installs into a directory on your DOS filesystem. It can also be installed to and booted from a Zip disk.

This distribution is ideal for people who don't have a lot of hard disk space, do not have a fast Internet connection to download the entire distribution, or who want a Linux distribution they can carry around on a Zip disk.

Requires about 107MB allocated disk space, 80386+, 8-16MB RAM.

2005-09-15: Slackware v10.2, with Linux kernels 2.4.31 and 2.6.13.

Go to The Slackware Linux Project for more info. Go to Get Slack, to find a list of download sites. Look in a site for a directory something like /linux/distributions/slackware/slackware-10.2/zipslack/.
