The best of software under DOS

1. The most mature Chinese character support system - ucdos98
Why others were not selected: CCDOS97 is said not to support direct screen writing; tw always hangs when returning to win98...
2. The best Wubi: Smart Wubi DOS edition
Under Windows the best Wubi is Smart Wubi, and under DOS the best Wubi is also Smart Wubi - although it stopped being updated long ago.
3. The most meticulous disk analysis tool: scs4.0 (versions above G)
It put an end to the encrypted disks of the kv series, and is even a bit more powerful than cp2000.
4. The most long-lived tool: mouse
No need to upgrade it, and it still works the same way for decades on end.
5. The archive tool with the highest compression ratio: ARJ
The standard back then.
6. The most kick-ass file operation tool: spc (the pc-type tool from Softview)
Good grief, it even supports winxp, and can work under ntfs/fat32/fat16, while pc can only work under fat16.
7. The software most neglectful of its proper work: kv3000
Everybody on earth knows it, the emergency function it pushed so hard...
8. The antivirus software with the fastest running speed: vrvdos
At the present stage it can still keep getting updates, has the smallest size (only 1/4 of a floppy disk), a clean interface, and the fastest startup speed.
Others like rav and kv2003 both need 3 disks.
9. The editor software with the most outstanding contribution: wps
Back then, quite a few ** workers made their living with this thing.
10. The software most likely to fool people: hd2.x
This powerful thing, the original work only went up to 2.0 and then stopped being updated, yet before long even 3.0 had come out.

More additions welcome! Corrections welcome!

My feeling is that this sounds like a joke...

How could CCDOS97 possibly not support direct screen writing? Don't confuse the old CCDOS from the Ministry of Electronics Industry with CCDOS. ARJ does not have the highest compression ratio; at the very least, in both speed and compression ratio it loses to AIN.

I think ARJ's compression ratio is not even as good as ZIP's...

But the intermediate computer exam actually happened to test how to use it! Dizzy!

But don't underestimate ARJ. In the DOS era its influence was second only to PKZIP; it pioneered many things such as multi-volume compression. Back then I really liked ARJ and knew it well. I used it to copy software from the computers at school, and it was very handy.
