TameDOS is apparently still being sold, but both its info and support email address are apparently defunct.

That's odd. everything else seems to be working. I wonder if the ordering procedure works. There is a conventional mail address for its developer on the ordering page.

I recently came across another program called ANSIPLUS that might possibly substitute for TameDOS (but I have no idea if it works properly under XP, VISTA or Windows 7):

Quoting from the readme file:
"ANSIPLUS console device driver integrates major console elements missing
from DOS and the personal computer BIOS into a single compact device driver
that can easily be controlled and personalized. With ANSIPLUS installed:

* User interaction with the DOS command shell and many applications will be
significantly improved.

* Screen output should be faster than with DOS's ANSI and non-ANSI drivers.

* The user will have complete control over colors and VGA/EGA capabilities.

* Users of MS-DOS, Windows, OS/2, DESQview or Novell DOS will have access to
ANSIPLUS features in all windowed and full screen DOS sessions.

* The user will also benefit from all the other display and keyboard features
provided by ANSIPLUS."
