twigdip · DOS on psion 5mx

Hello all,
I am really desperate to find a way of running DOS (and therefore a do program) on my Psion 5mx.
I have heard ther is something caled XTM, but i can't afford to pay 24 pounds for a tiny tiny program!! Can anyone help me out with ideas/suggestions? Also does anyone have a full version of something they might be able to email to me?
thanks very much

Only one I know of is XTM.

You need DOS as well though so that could set you back another £20 on top!

It is well worth it. You may find it is rather slow on a Series 5 though...

Cool

When I had looked for a good DOS on psion I found three Progs: EpocDOS, eShell and MDOS. MDOS is a really light version. Too light, if you ask me. And between EpocDos and EShell I had decided for EpocDOS. On the one hand EShell wasn't really nice compatible (you need a file called eshell.exe, which was really difficult to found) and on the other hand EpocDOS has more commands Wink

. I had printed a list of all commands in a txt-file, which I'll attach here.

You can download EpocDos here:

I do have a copy of Symbians EShell if someone needs it, its only a little executable.

However if you actually need the MS-DOS environment to run a DOS program XTM really is the only way, try the trial, make sure it works and you really may have to pay for it as its one of those tied to your machines unique ID.

If you just need to issue commands like to run java programs then EShell is just the job.

Deleting the XTM .ini File in the system directory extends your trial days...

I am still waiting for PocketDOS but I dont think it will come out...

You can extend the trial-time automatically. Just put a line in the autoexec.bat, which deletes the xtm.ini file.
