That was fun. Useless, but fun. I haven't seen #MS-DOS 4.0 since I borrowed my uncle's laptop (with a grayscale LCD, so this is the first time I see DOSSHELL in colour!)

I got inspired by #Microsoft releasing the MS-DOS 4.0 source code - https://www.theregister.com/2024/04/26/ms_dos_4_open_source/ - of course they didn't release the installer, the #DOSSHELL nor localized versions, so the install disks were obtained elsewhere...

Reminds me of the old quote "DOSSHELL? Of course DOS is hell"

Microsoft dusts off ancient MS-DOS 4.0 code for release on GitHub

There we go. Slightly more useful. Not much, but slightly.

I wonder if I can get it to show the date and time in a sensible format like it does under real MS-DOS?
