HyperDOS 1.x
HyperDOS is a simplistic menu shell bundled with Leading Technology PCs and offered as a standalone commercial product. It includes a file manager, built in help, and a number of accessories. It tries to clone the general appearance of the IBM PS/1 shell. Oddly, it starts off in a GUI mode, but all of the tools are text mode programs. Version 2.0 includes the ability to use sound cards.
The idea was to give new users something to look at besides the usual DOS prompt. Some bundled shells like Packard Bell Navigator or Tandy Deskmate were proven to boost PC sales.
