Take Command - Command Line Power and GUI Ease of Use
Take Command
Graphical Console? No It's Not an Oxymoron -- It's Take Command

Take Command offers a new approach to working in Windows, that brings users the "best of both worlds". It is a powerful command line utility - fully integrated into the Windows graphical environment.

Take Command - Version 9 now fully integrates all of the power we previously had in the individual Take Command, 4NT and TCI programs into a single easy to use environment to ease command line tasks and develop batch programs. You can still use Take Command Console (previously 4NT) as a standalone program, after trying TC9 we doubt you will ever want to.

Most Windows graphical applications offer limited command-line capability at best, and most command-line utilities aren't designed for a graphical environment such as Windows. Those limitations force users to move back and forth between graphical utilities and the character-mode command line. By combining our advanced command-line technology with the look and feel of Windows, Take Command makes Windows both easier and more productive.

But that's not all. We've also added hundreds of features feasible only in a graphical environment like pull-down menus, dialogs, application control, and cut and paste support. If you're tired of having to choose between the power of the command line and the graphical interface, Take Command is the perfect solution.
