desperate need of DOS tools 2

[neef]

Hi

I've used DOS since version 1.0 and am now forced to move to a 64bit machine. So I am in desperate need of good command line programs that run on 64bit machines. I don't care if they are 32 or 64 bit just so long as they run

1.. My Text Search (a Norton TS from the 80s) no longer function
2. my command line Explorer like tool that I've used since 86 no longer works. I use that at least 100 times a day. It was called WindowDos long before windows. If they had patented the name what would have become of windows. The tool pops up a directory window and you can move around hard drive very easily. It was a great tool
3.. something that searches a path looking for a program (again old Norton FL command no longer works)
4.. a LIST replacement simple and small

thank-you
I appreciate any feedback anyone has

Have you looked at ZTreeWin?

A virtual machine option may be viable.

Windows Virtual PC
Download Windows XP Mode

http://www.microsoft.com/windows/virtual-pc/download.aspx

Windows XP Mode (Windows 7 only, but not any of the Home versions) "You are not eligible to download Windows XP Mode. You must have Windows 7 Professional, Enterprise, or Ultimate to run Windows XP Mode". If you have an old XP CD (or other older Windows CD) available you can just download the Virtual Machine and skip the XP Mode download.

This covers the whole gambit of virtual machines in "Home" versions if you want to have a look at it. Of course you will need a licensed copy of XP to install and run in any of them (except XP Mode).

VirtualBox is an impressive VM contender

Rather than running Virtual Machines is a dual boot option of Windows 7 and Windows XP an option for you?
