Greg,
  There quite a number if Linuxes that will run on the same
old hardware that DOS runs on, and run just as fast. Check
out ttylinux or BasicLinux. Is 3 megs memory and 4 megs of
hardrive too modern? Script files are just as useful as
batch files.

Yep,  there  is even a version of linux so small it runs from a floppy.  And
while linux shell commands are being/have been ported to dos, a linux shell
is at least as good.
