New DOS version

I haven't tried this yet but it looks great! Apparently Microsoft
released DOS to the public domain and someone "fixed" it.

For those of you that wish DOS wasn't dead, look at:

Here's what MS-DOS 7.1 reportedly does:
What's new in MS-DOS 7.10 since MS-DOS 6.x?

There are many enhancements, new features and bugfixes in MS-DOS 7.10
since MS-DOS 6.x. For example:

* FAT32 and FAT32X drives support (*very* important nowadays)
* Extended FAT16 (a.k.a. FAT16X, type 0E, usually being the primary
partition) drives support * Large hard disk and LBA ExtendedX (Int
13x) partition (type 0F) support (*very* important nowadays) * Long
File Names (LFN) support * Full Y2K (Year 2000) compliant and supports
4-digit years (e.g. DIR /4) * Large memory (>64MB) and XXMS 3.0
support * Euro sign support (Code Page 850, Right Alt+5) * The
protection that keeps the stability of DOS * Efficient use of UMB
memory (The DOS kernel and COMMAND.COM are loaded high automatically)
* Extended commands in CONFIG.SYS to use UMB memory, such as
FILESHIGH, BUFFERSHIGH * Environments variables can be used in the DOS
command line directly, e.g. ECHO %PATH% * The maximum length for path
variable is expanded * Some new commands added, such as ACCDATE,
LOGO(in CONFIG.SYS) * Volume LOCK/UNLOCK feature added to protect data
and LFN on the (hard) disks * EDIT can be used to edit both text and
binary files and multiple files * REN can rename a directory as well
as files * The locations of DOS system files (especially IO.SYS) are
much more flexible * Dual-boot with older versions of MS-DOS (e.g. DOS
6.x) feature added * Animated startup logo support by using a custom
LOGO.SYS file * You can decide whether to execute a command using
Enter/ESC key now while using the step-by-step feature * Support for
loading Win9x GUI (including all versions from Win95/95A to Win98SE
GUI) on top added * Many undocumented but useful options and switches
added, such as COMMAND /Z * Updated and newer versions of DOS commands
and tools included, such as MORE, MSCDEX, MSD * And many more...
