XTGOLD
 

Hey Guys,

I know its a LONG SHOT. but does anyone have XTGOLD???

Just to jog the memories it was a Dos Based Menu application (Users could
load other applications by selecting the application on a Menu/Sub Menu) was
out on early 286's

Would like a copy of it for a DOS System I am configuring.


Cheers

I remember it but don't have it anywhere.

Try this: http://www.google.co.nz/search?q=XTGOLD

The results all look like they're clones but I'm guessing as long as it
works in a similar manner it's what you need. The first couple I tried
looked like they're actually Windows console apps but I'm sure if you
look through enough of the results you should be able to find what you
need.

Just did some further searching adding "dos" to the query above and
found this discussion:
http://www.oldversion.com/talk/showthread.php?t=1270

One of the links on that page led to
http://www.xtreefanpage.org/x13avwj.htm - click downloads in the nav
and maybe one of those will work.

Found it fairly quickly.

You just need to add the "abandonware" qualifier in your google search
(yeah, I know abandonware is illegal...).

Yes - that was a great tool. A real shame it never made the jump to 32 bit
systems. I never found a 32bit replacement.

Try searching around a bit, you might find a copy or a close enough clone.
This web site is cool, themed like the xtree screen.

Yep it was the best damn file manager around for Ms-DOS
(until Symantic killed it).
The nearest I've found is Midnight Commander for Linux.

I used a DOS based Menu system called HDM which was pretty good too.

Yes, Midnight Commander is one of the things I miss now that I'm back
to a Windows only box (for now). My Explorer Plus offers the option to
use XTree Gold keyboard emulation to its users, so presumably some of
them made that particular move.

Would it make me some kind of dinosaur if I still had it on my C:
drive?

I don't know, these young punks today with their LCD screens and their
X-Boxes. In my day we had a Dos prompt and we were glad to have it.

Didn't microsoft make something called dosmenu.exe? Yeah, it may not be
what you want, but it may already be on the machine...
