Right. 4DOS is almost overkill and does many many things. > There's also REXX, which already comes with FreeDOS. Right, which is good for shell macro glue wrapping (or whatever you want to call it). Also good for bigints (arbitrary precision). It's portable too. > It's debatable to me whether this should be an integrated function or not, > since it will require more memory. If someone just wanted a simple calculator, various tools exist, not to mention CALC387, which is only 1024 bytes (requires FPU). See below: http://craighessel.webs.com/ P.S. ReactOS has a CMD shell clone (GPL? LGPL?), though I'm unsure how fully functional it is. It actually was partially based upon FreeCOM, but probably they didn't bother sticking to strict ANSI C compatibility. (Seems to need CMake to build, which doesn't have a DOS port. Blindly guessing, but it probably requires MinGW.) http://svn.reactos.org/svn/reactos/trunk/reactos/base/shell/cmd/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ All the data continuously generated in your IT infrastructure contains a definitive record of customers, application performance, security threats, fraudulent activity and more.
