4NT 8.01 Build 76

4.1 out of 5 stars 4.1 (94 votes)

(February 25, 2007)

Windows 2000/2003/Vista/XP / Shareware; $74.95 / 3,952 downloads

4NT command line tools give you a new command prompt that you can use every day -- for everything from launching applications to serious file management and scripting. Far more powerful than the built-in Windows or DOS command line, it makes the C:\ prompt flexible and robust, and gives you hundreds of new batch file tools as well. Plus it fully supports standard commands like COPY and DIR, so you'll find it easy to learn and use.

    Four out of five because 4NT is not Take Command. Excellent replacement for the default command shell. Highly recommended (Take Command even moreso) if you often find yourself performing command line administration.

    T3chDad - You win the clueless award hands down. Some sourceforge project adds multiple tabs, transparency, and the ability to select/copy to cmd and it's the 4NT show-stopper? Stop typing, you're embarrassing yourself. $70.00 is cheap for something this good and useful. Using it allows so many possibilities that cmd never could come close to. It makes life easier when running admin scripts, etc. I wish all apps were this well done and documented.

    Dougau: It will work with Vista.Back in the day of DOS, it was the first shareware I bought. 4DOS is now a freebie - but except for Virtual Machines nobody uses it now. There used to be a version called 4OS2. I have only used !% of its commands (does Powershell have built in FTP for example?) but if I have a few hours to spare I might master 2% of its capabilities.

    I've been using 4NT since 1989 (back when it was just 4DOS). If you are working with MS operating systems and want a superset of the traditional command prompt, but with the level of functionality you can get with the various Unix shells, then 4NT is perfect. It's a little pricey, but a product doesn't survive for almost 20 years in this industry unless it's actually worth something (or its creator is a monopoly).
