Norton Commander was primarily a file manager, not a typical desktop application.

Searching Barnacules Nerdgasm life story. It's a lengthy piece, but it seems to cover the kind of modified DOS programs that mimic multitasking.

I've already set up DOS 7.1 and added the games, but the DOS Shell seems to be the only one that works.

Windows compatibility up to the millennium release and enterprise versions until 3.11 (my understanding)

I've tested all the options from Windows 3.1 through 98. I ran Windows 98 from a boot disk and it worked fine. FreeDOS didn't work on DOS 7.1 due to a workaround I used, and it failed on Windows 3.0. FreeDOS also didn't boot from a DOS boot disk, while Windows 3.1 handled it smoothly. On FreeDOS, MS-DOS 7.1 got stuck in the boot menu and didn't load properly. Windows 95 froze on its boot disk, showing a loading bar and prompting system configuration. The only stable results were Windows 98 and Windows 2000, which I found easier to install. I haven't tried Windows NT (3.5-4.0) because it wasn't designed for DOS environments, and I didn't have the ISO then. I also avoided Windows ME since it wasn't available at the time. Everything above Windows 2000 and below Windows 8 seemed problematic, so I think it's best to move on.
