Hey all!
I'm looking for a couple "file manager" type pieces of software. I
can't
find them on WinWorld.
First one is from about 1984-1985, possibly called
DRBOSS.COM, I just
remember it used IBM extended graphics for "window" borders (which were
colored red) and the filenames were either in gray or green. The main
feature was you could select a few files at a time, then do some operation
on those selected ones. And as a .COM it was well under 64K.
The other is from around 1996, and called MWIZ or Menu Wizard. Apparently
there were a few variations with possibly the same/similar name. All I
recall about this one is it came with both a .EXE and a .COM, and was
written by a person named Tony. I believe it was available on the '96 or
'97 BYTE magazine CD, and possibly also on CompuServe (I'm not current on
what the state of any CompuServe archives are these days).
Not urgent - just curious if they could be found.
And if anyone is in an MS-DOS mood throughout the holiday break: I still
find my ancient CDIR.EXE useful even in DOSBOX or on my physical IBM 5150.
It is available in my utility collection archived here:

For other early IBM PC notes (like floppy drive emulators and NIC setup), I
have some notes here:

(including all about using the tape deck!)
