Attached a screenshot of the filemanager PC-Shell for DOS.

It was a common view of my PC in the DOS era. Yet I had failed to run the program properly ever since FAT32. PC Shell can't startup if there is even one fat32 drive attached or something like that. So I disabled all harddisks in the BIOS and booted with floppy's only. Used PCXdump to make the screenshot.

PS: A good and up to date replacement I discovered lately: Graphic Vision File Manager for DOS: http://homepage.ntlworld.com/gvision/gv/index.htm

You have Volkov Commander and such for this task under ms-dos. They are newer and have more features.

Yes I've read about volkov, but the thing is that I kinda got used to the drag and drop/ multiple windows of windows 9x. And I feel kinda crippled when having to manage files in any another way. So therefore GVFM is my personal favorite. (and it has more to offer than just the fancy screen)

a good file manager overview here:

Anyways, the reason I started this pcshell topic is just for nostalgia. I don't mind the program is useless now, but I wanted too see how it used to look on my screen.

Ahh... Those were the days, huh? *wipes tears*

Never thought this thread would be that long, but now, for something different.....
