mTCP TCP/IP applications for DOS PCs https://www.brutman.com/mTCP/
Sat 18 Jan 2025 09:37:29 PM PST archive.org

mTCP is a set of TCP/IP applications for personal computers running PC-DOS, MS-DOS, FreeDOS, and other flavors of DOS. The applications include a DHCP client, FTP client and server, HTTP getter and server, IRC client, netcat implementation, network drive share client, ping utility (natch), packet sniffer, SNTP client, and telnet client.

mTCP runs on all variants of DOS including IBM PC-DOS, Microsoft MS-DOS, DR-DOS and FreeDOS. All of these applications will run well on the oldest, slowest PC that you can find - I routinely use them on an IBM PCjr made in 1983 because nothing beats the fun of putting a 39 year old computer on the Internet.

People are using mTCP for goofing off and for real work. If you have a DOS machine that needs to send data across the network mTCP can help you get that done. Besides its utility to vintage computers I have heard of people using it to transfer lab data from dedicated industrial PCs, allowing backups to be run on old machines, and sending sales reports from the branch offices of a retail store to a central server.

Don't have a vintage computer laying around? No problem! mTCP applications will run in a variety of virtual and emulated environments. It has been tested with modified DOSBox builds, VirtualBox, VMWare, and QEMU. See the documentation for the details.

mTCP applications should work on any IBM PC compatible personal computer running DOS. To be more specific, an IBM PC compatible with an 8088 or better CPU, 96KB to 384KB of system memory depending on the application, DOS v2.1 or newer, and a network interface that has a packet driver like NDIS or ODI.

ZIM command line tools. Of note are:

  • zimcheck verifies that a given ZIM file is not corrupted.
  • zimdump inspects or dumps (part of) a ZIM file.
  • zimsplit splits a ZIM file smartly into smaller chunks.
  • zimwriterfs creates ZIM files from a locally-stored directory containing "self-sufficient" HTML content (with pictures, javascript and stylesheets). The result will contain all the files of the local directory compressed and merged in the ZIM file. The generated file can be opened with a ZIM reader.

In Arch's extra/ package repo.

Jemm is an "Expanded Memory Manager" (EMM), based on the source of FreeDOS' Emm386. It should work with MS-DOS and compatible DOSes, including FreeDOS. Like other EMMs it uses extended memory to simulate expanded memory (EMS) according to EMS v3.2 and EMS v4.0. Can load drivers and resident programs into UMB (upper memory blocks) to free up core memory. Can map RAM to the video address segments A000-AFFF and B000-B7FF. Installs VCPI (Virtual Control Program Interface) services to allow DOS applications running in V86-mode to switch to protected mode. VCPI also implements a simple memory manager. Installs a VDS (Virtual DMA Service) API to give drivers/applications some control over DMA and physical addresses in V86-mode.

There are 2 versions of Jemm:

  • Jemm386: standard version which needs an external eXtended Memory Manager (XMM; examples: Himem[S]X, MS Himem, XMGR ) to be loaded.
  • JemmEx: extended version which has an XMM already included.

JemmEx most likely is the better choice because it will need less DOS memory than an external XMM + Jemm386.

Czkawka (tch•kav•ka (IPA: [ˈʧ̑kafka]), "hiccup" in Polish) is a simple, fast and free app to remove unnecessary files from your computer.

Krokiet ((IPA: [ˈkrɔcɛt]), "croquet" in Polish) same as above, but uses Slint frontend.

Amazingly fast - due to using more or less advanced algorithms and multithreading. Cache support - second and further scans should be much faster than the first one. CLI and GUI (gtk4 or slint). Multiple tools for flexibility.
