The Dobson Utilities©

MS-DOS and Windows 3.1x freeware utility suite

 Introduction

The Dobson Utilities is a collection of command-line tools that can be used in an MS-DOS and Windows 3.1x. With commands designed to display directory listings in color coded text, locate files, synchronize your system clock with a Network Time Provider, a replacement for Windows 3.1 Task List, and more!

The Dobson Utilities started out as a small project in 1992, beginning as a simple yet powerful DOS based command line utility collection and has grown into a set of tools that work in DOS and Windows 3.1x. Originally distributed through America Online, the Dobson Utilities could also be found through various freeware collections around the internet.
