4DOS 7.01A, a minor update to the last major release, is now available for 
download from   http://www.jpsoft.com/download.htm

For those not already familiar with 4DOS, it's a shareware replacement for 
Microsoft's hackneyed DOS command shell COMMAND.COM.  It adds many improvements 
and conveniences, while maintaining a high level of backwards compatibility.  
Features especially useful at the prompt include command-line editing and 
recall; filename and variable-name completion; aliases; popup lists of all 
directories visited, commands issued, and possible file and variable name 
completions; and one-key access to the detailed hypertext online manual.  Batch 
improvements include speedier compressed and in-memory formats, professional 
flow-control structures, and literally hundreds of new functions.  There are 
dozens of new commands, and most of the traditional DOS commands have been 
given new features and improved syntax.

Shareware, $70; the trial package is fully functional for 21 days.  Updated 
versions of 4NT (a CMD.EXE replacement, which can run under both the NT-based 
and the DOS-based lines of Windows) and Take Command (a graphical command 
shell) are also available. Disclaimer:  I am not affiliated with J. P. 
Software, but am a happy customer.
