DOS or Windows
<< < (6/6)
krick:
If you know what you're doing and have a really good reason, use DOS.

Otherwise use Windows 98SE on old machines (P3 and less) and Windows XP on new machines (P4 and higher).  They both support dual mice and dual light guns.

Try to avoid:
Win 95 (no USB support, no fat32)
Win 98 (better USB support but still not perfect)
Win ME (the bastard stepchild of the windows family. trust me, stay away)
Win 2K (does not support dual mice/trackballs/lightguns, otherwise it's ok)

Back in the day I used Norton Commander for that stuff and more, but I don't have a copy of that anymore.

I use DOS Navigator. by RIT research Lab and it is like Norton Commander. This had become freeware now. Its got alot of nice features.

I like DOS Edit and Vernon Buerg's List utility. My version of List is pretty old, it's not Y2k- compliant :) I also use DOS Vedit (an old version) for large files.
