Hi Eric,
True! I forgot of Triple-DOS.

Hi Aitor,
the topic reminds me that we have

but it might still provide some inspiration somehow :-)

I realize I'm a little late to this party, but I've got a couple of comments.
The first thing I think to note is that DOSShell was MUCH more than just a
program launcher. It include the same basic implementation and functionality

That certainly is functionally equivalent to the mmenu401 I was
referring to, perhaps it's an earlier version of that program, though it
sounds a bit more advanced than that one, but what the heck, if it
serves your purposes, then it's all worth it.

Not the program I was referring to in my initial post, but that is
certainly an excellent program with a ton of features, and if I still
ran a dos machine, I'd certainly use that one. The filename of the one
I had I think was mm401.zip. I can't however find that particular
archive anywhere.

I think, it's called MarxMenu, not Mark's Menu.

As far as I can see, also a file manager.

For what it's worth, the best dos menuing system I ever found was called
Mark's Menu. It was shareware, but it was fully functional. Besides
the disclaimer that shipped with the software being the funniest thing
I'd ever read, it also had many functions, menus, submenus, I believe it

Um. I may be missing something obvious here but isn't MC a file

Interesting,
I am looking for a fairly simple, ideally text-only, app menu system.
I've found an assortment on the FreeDOS Repo:

And a few on BTTR:

All have something wrong with them.
