With the introduction of Win95 many software developers stopped their DOS efforts. You may have to search thoroughly to find nice DOS software. Here are the best things i've found so far.

ARACHNE browser	Very nice graphical WWW browser for DOS. An ongoing development of the Czech DOS friend Michael Polak. His browser supports many of today's standards as HTTP, FTP, SMTP, POP3, MIME 1, PPP. Easily configurable, usable with dial up internet, and on a LAN. Free for non commercial use You also MAY register, private registration fee: 30 US dollar ARACHNE site: http://home.arachne.cz
FastFlip	Task Switcher for DOS. DOS is not a 'multitasking' OS, but do you need real time multitasking on your stand alone computer? With this task switcher you can run several programs simultaneously, that is, only the current task actually 'runs ', the others are 'waiting'. It's nice, but crashes once in a wile... SHAREWARE registration fee: 35 US dollar Download FFLIP218.ZIP (102 k)
Fractint	A fractal creating program. A fractal is an image based on an infinitive mathematical calculation. You can influence the fractal by choosing an other colour palette, or by changing the parameters of the used formula. You can save the resulting image as a GIF file. FREEWARE Fractint site: http://spanky.triumf.ca/www/fractint/fractint.html
GIF Tools	GIF Tools contain 2 programs: GIF Make and GIF Info. GIF Info gives information about a GIF image (size, no of colours used, ...). With GIF Make you can make an ANIMATED GIF out of a number of normal GIF's. It's also usable to make TRANSPARENT GIF's from normal GIF's. GIFMake is NO drawing program, you'll need another program to make the GIF's you want to animate. FREEWARE Download GT20FREE.ZIP (47 k)
Neopaint	Good & understandable drawing program. It reads & writes GIF, BMP and PCX formats. It allows you to work at more that 1 image at a time. It's easy to use, and more powerful than Windows's paint. SHAREWARE registration fee: 45 US dollar Neopaint site: http://www.neosoftware.com/np.html
DAMP	The nicest MP3 player i've found so far. It's capable of visualizing the music played, it fills the screen with colours & patterns, changing in sync with the music. Playlist files are supported, but even easier, hit "DAMP C:\MP3\*.MP3" to play all the MP3's in the specified directory. FREEWARE DAMP site: http://come.to/hedgehog-software/
