You can do that at the command prompt in Windows, and already could in old DOS with no need of any additional tool. :bleh:

Ah, rules or no rules, I made this topic live again (would it really make you feel there's more harmony in the world if you had multiple topics for this program?). I still like some admin to fix v5.5 into v5.51.

Pretty much so, except all the tabs are in one vertically split window. That results in much less clutter both onscreen and in your taskbar.

Yes, but TC can also be configured to pack/unpack other archive types - the level of integration is such that they could just as well be natively supported, since after you set the paths to the archiver executables, you can open RAR, LHA, ACE (and a few others) from TC directly, just like ZIP.

After reinstalling system first thing to do is to set-up network, second - install TC!
And all the drivers can be installed. Install one, copy it from "to do" folder to "done" with just one button. No need to use mouse, everything is clear and simple!

It's more conveniant in Windows, but under DOSBox I do not use NC for now - I use TC under Win, and I type everything. As you said - it's all about preferences  k:

okay, got me there but I don't really do much FTP uploading and all dowloading I do through IE ( yep not even firefoxed :tai: )
as is the usual case all depends what you are doing and your preferences although I could not see any benefit to using one specifically for dosbox

TC has a bucketload of features your Windows Explorer doesn't, like operating on tabs (you can have as many open as you like, and the directories they're opened on are stored upon leaving the program), integrated multi-renamer, built-in ZIP packer/unpacker (that is far superior to the one in Win XP, and you can configure TC to use other external packer/unpacker software like WinRAR automatically), FTP client... and that's just a fraction. The thing is like a swiss army knife.

Ahh, one of my favourite thread types!
People with huge experstise are discussing what program serves what purpose best.
And then they discuss [what happens when] and [but if you wanna do xyz].
Go on guys, no offense! I always find it very entertaining. k:

I'm surprised you're using such a clunky and inconvenient interface as Windows Explorer. Mind trying out a recommendation for Total Commander?
Back to the topic, Norton has a lot of advantage over your everyday command line, especially if you've got an allergy to frontends.
It's very convenient GUI when your Dosbox games directory gets larger (mine's got over 50 games in it... go figure).

sorry 5th! , looks like I'm just having a go at you today , I always find windows explorer or even just opening directory windows pretty easy and my abandonware directory also has 50 games :P
I always used to use xtree gold and was a big fan of that a loooong time ago but I just don't but as said personall I find windows ( and ocassional dos command line ) fine for everything I need to do and why install another program when the built in works fine ?
