4NT 8.02 Build 103

If you're frustrated by the limitations of the Windows command prompt, then 4NT is the one command line tool you need. By adding thousands of features that Microsoft neglected, 4NT makes the command line easy to use, providing more power and flexibility than you ever imagined. 4NT is a powerful alternative to the Windows command processor, CMD - the program behind your C:\> prompt. 4NT enhances most of CMD's commands, and adds a wide variety of new commands designed to aid everyone from the new user to the serious batch programmer.

4NT adds features such as shorthand "aliases" for commonly used commands, pop-up command and directory history windows, and the ability to copy, move, delete, or list multiple files with a single command. Command line editing, history, and recall eliminate extra keystrokes, and the FFIND command can quickly locate files or text within a file anywhere on your system. You can even add new commands from a number of third-party developers (or write your own!) through our plugin feature.

Batch file users will be amazed at the power and speed this command line tool adds to Windows batch files, with an array of sophisticated new batch commands and a powerful interactive debugger.
