XCOM (for DOS)
Xcom (GUI system) has released for DOS. Xcom is a multi-windowed desktop environment with a file manager - it allows you to browse, copy, view and manage your files, start and stop programs, watch and listen basic media content and music. Unlike other windowing systems and protocols, it integrates the basic functionality as a monolithic, cohesive program.
Xcom is a free of charge program. This software is still in pre-alpha stage, but its already functional.
Xcom can run on 386DX based computers (SX is maybe supported as well).
It requires 16 MByte (virtual) memory to run smoothly.
PLEASE NOTE: This is a public pre-alpha test-version.
Use at your own risk. Beware of bugs (there will be).
It should work on DOS and DOS clones, it offers a better alternative against Windows 3.1 on retro machines.
Features:
-Taskbar
-Start menu and right click menus
-File management
-Fast start and boot
-Sound Blaster compatbility for sound
-SVGA (VESA VBE) for high-color and true-color display output
-Keyboard and mouse support
-Viewing and editing text files
-Viewing pictures and listening to audio
-AVI support (YUV)
Features for retro computers:
-Can force-copy files with bad sectors
-Compiled with FPU emulation (untested, needs more testing)
-Can run simple (16 bit) DOS programs and games
-Can exit to dos
-Starts and stops within seconds
