Some years ago ANTIC magazine commissioned a new DOS
to try and take the existing DOS 2.0 and DOS 3.0 to new heights but it
never really caught on. Perhaps one reason was that this DOS used
another format that was not compatible with previous DOS versions,
although it can read and convert both DOS 2.0, 2.5 and 3.0. DOS 4.0
comprises three sections, a File Management System, A Command Processor
and a Disk Utility Package. You will find all the familiar DOS commands
included along with several new commands and every part of the package
comes with on-screen help to guide you through. There is not room to
describe every facet of this DOS and it may not be for you but for more
advanced users it is certainly worth a look if only for the interest of
finding out more about disk use. If you are curious to explore your disk
drive further check this out, it could end up being your favourite but
remember that not everyone will use this format so don't go converting
all of your disks!
Boot with Basic.
