NeOS
(ver 1.51)
Abandoned Freeware


NeOS (the Network Enhanced Operating System) is a Peer-to-Peer LAN 
for DOS.  NeOS will let you network up to 5 individual computers.  

NeOS is an official EUREKA project under project number EU-1317,
supported by Slovenian Ministry of Science and Technology.


  NeOS FEATURES
 
 - NeOS is probably the first real peer-to-peer network in a DOS world.
   You will never see terms like "SERVER" or "CLIENT" (like in real
   distributed environments). Network resources are distributed across
   the network and this shouldn't bother you. Lots of actions are
   performed in the background without special notice - logins, logouts,
   resource mounting and unmounting, ...
 
 - NeOS is probably the only DOS network in which you can, for instance,
   access 250 CD-ROM drives with only one login. NeOS is not limited with
   23 available disk letters (it's really neat when you actually use it).
 
 - NeOS is very efficient. Some benchmarks showed 30% better results then
   NetWare Lite 1.10 (or Personal NetWare in Novell DOS 7.0). It's even
   faster then Lantastic 3.0. What benchmarks? XCOPY-ing large files from
   machine to machine simultaneously. Please, use COMMAND.COM with DOSKEY
   installed, because this speeds things when DOS is waiting on a command
   line.
 
 - NeOS uses standard disk-caching programs (SMARTDRV, NCACHE or SCPLUS).

 - NeOS is compact, requires very small amount of memory (typically
   less then 40KB) and can be loaded high (you must use QEMM386 or
   something similar).
