   eCS 1.0 works fine for me. I use it when Windows 2000 gets a virus which   
   seems to be so easy, and I don't have to worry about that with eCS. It came   
   with Lotus Suite which works fine too. I use Larson Commander file browser   
   as well as the one from IBM which is free. There is so many other programs   
   which works with eCS as well as the MS-Dos programs which I have from the   
   1990's.
