4DOS Alternatives
4DOS is described as 'command line interpreter by JP Software, designed to replace the default command interpreter COMMAND.COM in DOS and Windows 95/98/Me. The 4DOS family of programs are meant to replace the default command processor' and is a DOS Emulator in the os & utilities category. There are seven alternatives to 4DOS for a variety of platforms, including Mac, Windows, Linux, Android and Android Tablet. The best alternative is DOSBox, which is both free and Open Source. Other great apps like 4DOS are FreeDOS, Boxer, DOSBox SVN Daum and JsDOSBox.
4DOS alternatives are mainly DOS Emulators but may also be Game Emulators. Filter by these if you want a narrower list of alternatives or looking for a specific functionality of 4DOS.
