The Windows or OS/2 commandline window (Windows "command prompt" or "OS/2 Window") is useful, but not very comfortable. Some simple functions are not part of the default installation. You need some freeware programs to extend the default functionality.
DO.EXE replaces a handful of old freeware exe programs which stopped running properly due to integer overflow. DO.EXE also works if the results are larger than 32 bits, e.g. free disk space larger than 2 or 4 GB.
Here you can download the current version 1.46 for Windows DO-WIN.ZIP (40 kB) and for OS/2 DO-OS2.ZIP (40 kB).
DO.EXE expects at least one command parameter behind "DO" for selecting the function. To get a command overview, simply type DO without parameters:
