Description:
VFSdos is a DOS console, text-based environment for Palm handheld computers equipped with a VFS expansion slot (such as the m505, Clie, Handera and TRGpro).

VFSdos is very similar to the good old' COMMAND.COM. It's not only used for simple DOS file operations - it's a DOS environment were VFSdos applications and batch files can be executed from SD/MMC/MC/CF cards.

VFSdos should not be confused as a DOS emulator. It will not run the same DOS programs as your desktop. It will only run VFS DOS applications specifically written for it. It's main use is to allow developers to create command-line / console applications such as command-line assemblers.

VFSdos is not designed to be used as a file management application. There are better solutions for this, such as McFile and TealMover. It's primary use is to provide a console text-based environment for the use and creation of command-line applications. It is also for those who miss the old DOS days of the PC (like me :-)

What do you need to run VFSdos: A palm equipped with a VFS expansion slot such as the m505, SONY Clie, or TRGpro (upgraded to OS 3.5.3) and an expansion memory card.

You should also have a good knowledge about DOS on your PC. VFSdos is mostly targeted to old DOS programmers such as myself :-)

Developers should have a look in the included DEVELOP.ZIP filefor information on how to write VFSdos applications.

Update Description:
v2.02 (6/6/03):
- High density support for PalmOS 5 (80x53 screen)
- Color support for text output
- Bug fixes.

Very very amusing and it actually works! :-D if you're sane you're using "filez" instead of vfsdos -- vfsdos simply provides the user a text-based way of managing their VFS data...
