4DOS it is... But it's still command line. (much better for

Perhaps DR-DOS with it's Gem-based file manager would do.
Or CPS's PC-Tools, or Norton's Norton Commander, or MS/PC DOS 5/6's
Windows-like file manager.
Hell. I've got Windows 1.03.

Three things never anger: First, the one who runs your DEC,
The one who does Field Service and the one who signs your check.
