The Volkov Commander 4.01

Version 4 of the Volkov Commander is a complete file manager with lots of features, although it does not support the long filenames of Windows 95/98/NT. However, it has very many advantages compared with many other such tools. Also, it's easier to manage files and directories with VC 4 than editing long DOS commands with plenty of difficult-to-remember parameters.

I magnifici cinque

Ci sono cinque dischetti da 1.44 Mb che mi porto sempre dietro e senza i quali non posso lavorare. Qui di seguito ci sono le immagini zippate di tali dischetti. E' necessario scompattare i file .ZIP (con pkunzip.exe e la password opportuna) e quindi ripristinare il file su un dischetto tramite rawrite.exe oppure DCF. La password per estrarre il file .ZIP è necessaria perché non potevo mettere su rete del software protetto da copyright. E' il nome con il quale mi chiama la mia mamma.

Tools da viaggio: Dischetto di avvio MS-DOS 6.22 con fdisk, format, himem, mscdex, scandisk, smartdrv, sys, undelete, Volkov Commander, DCF, PKzip, dircomp, dirsort, diskedit, ecc. Insomma tutto il necessario.
Norton Utilities 2: Diskedit, Unerase e Ndd dalle Norton Utilities 2 per Windows 95. Utility necessarie per lavorare su dischi con FAT32.
McAfee Virusscan: Antivirus Virusscan McAfee (modalità testo). Ogni tanto aggiorno il dischetto con la versione più recente, ma non sono un fanatico dell'ultimissima release.
Net Tools: Boot disk (Win98) with networking essentials: NCSA Telnet (telnet client and FTP server), Wattcp FTP, Tcpspy (packet sniffer) and some packet drivers for Ethernet adapter (NE2000, RTL8029AS, 3C5x9, ...).
Windows 98 Emergency Boot Disk: Windows 98 boot disk. Includes support for FAT32 disks and drivers for some CD-ROM drivers.
