	If all you need is a more powerful kind of DOS, you might
look into JP Software's 4DOS.  They used to have a version of it for
Win95, but that was the last time I looked.  Haven't a clue what they
have now, but the old 4DOS added some 70 batch commands to the mix with
a replacement for COMMAND.COM.  Made the DOS command line almost as
powerful as bash.
