PMDOS is a small program I wrote which will wrap any DOS command in Windows, allowing execution directly from WIndows, and capturing the DOS output to Windows.

    While done mainly as a programming exercise and 'proof of concept' for some code that can be incorporated into any VB 6 application to integrate DOS commands into it, PMDOS does have some utility as a 'stand alone' program, storing lists of DOS commands ( with switches, etc ), and capturing the output so that it may be picked up by the Windows clipboard and pasted into any other Windows application.

    PMDOS will handle any single-command DOS command, IE, it will not handle interactive ( query / response ) DOS sessions, although that could be done also.  It easily handles things like NETSTAT, DIR, PING, TRACERT, etc.

    To conserve online disk space, I'm putting only this zip file online with the actual PMDOS.EXE and COMMANDS.TXT, a text file it needs.  PMDOS uses only the most basic VB 6 support files, which you probably already have, so  I am not including them here.  This distribution is intended mainly for developers who already have the support files.  Download it here 12 kb.
