Brief Notes on DO.COM

Here's a little gem that came with no documentation, so I am
writing these brief notes.

This program allows you to string more than 1 command together on
the DOS command line, each separated by semi-colons. Thus, the syntax
is:

do cmd1;cmd2;cmd3

For example:

do dir;chkdsk;ws;pibterm

Try it -- the program really works! An ascii dump of the program
shows the author to be George Fischer, and that the program was written
in Lattice 'c'. Thanks, George, whoever you are.

  1. Very nice! Thank you for this wonderful archive. I wonder why I found it only now. Long live the BBS file archives!

  2. This is so awesome! 😀 I’d be cool if you could download an entire archive of this at once, though.

  3. But one thing that puzzles me is the “mtswslnkmcjklsdlsbdmMICROSOFT” string. There is an article about it here. It is definitely worth a read: http://www.os2museum.com/wp/mtswslnk/
