What is DOSShell, and how do I get to it?

fdbox - a new shell for MSDOS/freeDOS
Regarding the code: its modern C code. It does not look outdated, my main target is Linux/OSX/Windows, but I keep it in such way that good old TurboC can compile it (on modern OSes I use cmake for the build system). I even made a script that creates a "D:" drive for me to develop, so I start dosbox and then I can run "tc" and compile the project (see the readme file on the github project, and also https://github.com/elcuco/fdbox/blob/main/etc/create_dosbox_dir.sh). As part of the CI/GithubActions I build on every commit the code and tests for Linux/Mac/Windows/DOS. Tests are run on all 3 modern platforms, and I will eventually run this on a dosemu session or something. I invested a lot in tooling.

For example I did something similar in Java a while ago: https://github.com/nomemory/ansiscape but this can also be done in C.
