"DOS commonly refers to the family of closely related operating systems which dominated the IBM PC compatible market between 1981 and 1995 (or until about 2000, if you include Windows 9X)"
In my time on computers I always had DOS operating in the background until XP arrived. I think the Norton Suite might be what he is looking for. I used CleanSweep (early incarnation) and then it was picked up by Norton, and now I use almost exclusively free- or shareware. There are some very fine free utilities out there and Norton no longer has the good reputation it held in another incarnation. Elaine No trees were killed in the sending of this message.
