Description
MSX-DOS 1 was not provided with tools under the form of .COM files, contrary to MSX-DOS 2. It means that all tools for MSX-DOS 1 have been created and distributed apart from the MSX-DOS 1 official releases, even the tools created by ASCII Corporation.
Most of these tools have been created by the MSX scene. They provide additional commands and can generally also be used under MSX-DOS 2 / Nextor.
Note also that a MSX-DOS 1 tool can sometimes offer an advanced programming environment, it's the case of MemMan for example.
