This page has DOS utilities which I've written - they are all freeware so use to your heart's content. All are no longer supported, so don't mail me asking for updates.
You can discuss these utilities in the forum.

LFNDOS v1.06 (23k) - Provides the Windows 95 long filename API to DOS programs. 
WARNING: LFNDOS is an old program now, it was written over 3 years ago and may not work properly with today's large hard drives. If in doubt, don't use it.
Any DOS program which can use long filenames, for example DOS 7 Command.com, edit.com and all DJGPP programs, can load and save using them with LFNDOS. Designed for Win95 users using DOS-mode, although it works under old DOS versions too! C++ source code (122k) now available!

NetCopy v0.2 (40k) - Peer-to-peer file transfer over a DOS IPX network. Fed up with loading Windows just to copy a file? Here's your solution. Also supports serial cable transfers. Also supports bulk-sending of a file to up to 7 other people on the network at once.

WinEm v1.00 (154k) - Allows you to run Win32 (R) console applications from DOS. Not particularly useful, but it does let you use stuff like XCOPY32 from plain DOS. And, developers: you can write console-mode applications which will run natively in Win95/98/NT and also in DOS. DJGPP source code (45k) available.

ADIR v1.05 (18k) - Like the normal DIR command, but shows long filenames - even when Windows isn't loaded! Works with Win95 in DOS mode, and old DOS versions. Now superseded by LFNDOS, but if you don't have Win95 or any LFN-aware programs, then this program will let you view long filenames on, for example, a disk from a friend.

DOS FAQ (8k) - This is a FAQ list of commonly asked questions by people new to DOS or who have been away from it for a while. It covers from how to view a list of files (DIR) up to creating and removing directories. Not for the experienced DOSser!

DOS Utilities not written by me

ShowText by Dave Sherriff (6k) - Displays all the ASCII text in a binary (eg. EXE) file. This is useful if you want to see all the text stored in the file, or if you're just generally interested

DDL v1.03 by P.Frost (4k) - An incredibly useful utility which allows you to load DOS device drivers from the command line, without having to reboot. I use it to load my CD-ROM driver only when I need it, which saves memory the rest of the time. Almost eliminates the need for a config.sys!
