When Windows 3.x became popular, Fifth Generation Systems released Direct Access for Windows, which replaced explorer.exe with a similar menuing system as DOS version but with far more option (still have the discs). Used it for everything, greatest product ever for DOS, secondary only to XTree Gold.
Used Direct Access 5.1 for DOS for many years, great menu system. 😀 I don't think I've heard this product even mentioned since Windows 95 was released. Here's a screenshot of what the main menu looks like so far: As for processors, Direct Access 5.1 can't properly detect processors later than a 80386 (in later versions, 80486) and the BIOS date is NOT Year 2000 compliant either. If you have more than 32 MB of system memory installed, the amount of memory will end up displaying a negative number. The only drawback is that when you press F2 for the Info and F1 for the Hardware Info, Direct Access doesn't properly detect the amount of extended memory larger than 32,767 KB.

Does anyone run Fifth Generation Systems Direct Access on a PC emulator (such as DOSBox, Qemu, Virtual PC, etc) or on a real PC running plan DOS?įor me, I'm using it under Virtual PC 2007 for more than a week now after getting fed up with Microsoft MS-DOS Shell.ĭirect Access is a popular DOS menuing programme that is capable of handling up to 26 menus (A to Z) and up to 6 sub-menu levels for a maximum total of 308,915,776 menu entries (26^6).ĭirect Access is capable of handling links to software installed and the use of custom application parameters that are required for certain command-line executables.
