Using FreeDOS
In the early 1990s, I was a DOS power user. I used DOS for everything and even wrote my own tools to extend the DOS command line. Sure, we had Microsoft Windows, but if you remember what computing looked like at the time, Windows 3.1 was not that great. I preferred working in DOS.
You might understand that I was a little confused and upset in 1994 when Microsoft announced (via interviews in tech magazines) that the next version of Windows would do away with MS-DOS. I looked around for options and decided that if DOS was going to continue, someone would have to create a DOS everyone could use when MS-DOS went away. o it was on June 29, 1994, that I wrote a message to a Usenet discussion group, announcing a new “free DOS” project.
It’s 24 years later, and FreeDOS is still going strong!
