ExtraDOS Toolbox Professionalş is a compilation of powerful and
sophisticated tools for MS-DOS users. The programs offer
functionality; some enhance programs already found in MS-DOS, other
tools were familiar to the Unix world and are now available in MS-DOS.
ExtraDOS also compliments PC Tools and Norton utilities by offering
many features not found in these packages. The quality of our tools
will allow you to work faster, smarter and better.
Many of the ExtraDOS Utilities have been included in PC Books including, DOS
Power Tools, Killer DOS Utilities, Inside DOS 6, DOS 6 Secrets and more.
