I found a utility that significantly speeds up the calculation of free disk space for slow machines with large fixed disks.
I like to collect the old programming books also - I have a chaotic permanently unfinished git page - C++ template meta-programming cross compiled to 16bit - what fun! https://github.com/ifknot/Asteroids

I Thought I Found a Bug
I believe it is a bug in the the emulator's implementation of COMMAND.COM. Often, these DOS "emulators" re-implement the standard commands of DOS, including the shell[1]. This is in addition to emulating weird 16-bit environment stuff and the BIOS.
The bug lies in any C program using stdio that assumes it's fine to do `fread` followed immediately by `fwrite`. The spec forbids this.
To make matters more confusing, this behavior does _not_ seems to be in modern libc implementations. Or at least, it works on my machine.
The original COMMAND.COM from MS-DOS probably did not have this problem, since at least in some versions it was written in assembly[2].
[1] Here's DOSBox, for example: https://github.com/dosbox-staging/dosbox-staging/blob/main/s...

How in the world do I change the keys on the DOSBOX Duke Nukem?? And also the screen size.
You may also want to consider alternatives, such as DOSBox Staging, DOSBox Enhanced Community Edition, or DOSBox-X.. or if you're looking for a more user friendly experience, you can also try the eDuke32, Raze, or JFDuke3D community ports instead of messing around with DOS settings. Hope this helps!
