In case you weren't aware, both 4OS2 and 4DOS are freeware now (one is
a replacement for CMD.EXE, the other for COMMAND.COM in VDMs), and each
has a much more powerful START command.

4OS2 will also implicitly start a VDM if you run a DOS program (or DOS
batch file) in a VIO session.  No explicit START needed (most of the
time, anyway).

JP Software's last version of 4OS2 (now freeware):

    ftp://jpsoft.com/free/4os2304.zip

Scitech's modified version (with a few bug fixes):

    http://www.scitechsoft.com/ftp/devel/4os2/4os2304f.zip

and JP Software's last version of 4DOS (also now freeware):

    http://download.jpsoft.com/4dos/4dos.exe

The copy of 4DOS on the JP Software site is a Windows EXE, but you can
still use UNZIP to unzip it under OS/2 or DOS.
