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.
