DOS Dos Master 1.20 for Dos [118 kb]
This program was originally written because developer

that you should be bombarded with endless pull-down menus
and pop-up screens that can often make the simple matter
of copying a few files from one directory to another a challenge
to the user. Basic Dos Master philosophy is KEEP IT SIMPLE!,

of the basic utilities.
