I just joined this forum, and this topic looks like as good a place as any for my first post:
I’m guessing that my three oldest applications are

1. DOSSHELL from 1988

2. “Thoughtline” outline processor for DOS from 1986.

3. A text based database program for DOS called FYI from around 1985

I run them under MS-DOS 6.21 on an old Toshiba laptop that’s on it’s last legs.

(I once had CP/M versions of the Thoughtline and FYI programs that I ran on multiple Kaypro computers back in the day before switching to MS-DOS)

After all these years I’m finally ready to jettison my beloved old DOS software and want to see if I can find Windows equivalents, so that’s why I’m here.
