.............................................
and doesn't show any ms crap or system crap
and that it doesn't modify nothing in what
ever pc I use only uses ram, and the disk
now it most have 2 or 3 files small enough
to leave 1.3 of space or mor in the disk so
I can add an app called POVray for dos.

You need ansi.sys to control the color of the background and text displayed onscreen.
Also the easiest way to display text from a floppy would be to use the echo command in autoexec followed by the pause command, this stops the batch process and allows the reading of the message(use echo. to display a blank line).
@echo if you do not want "echo" displayed (@ infront of any command prevents it from showing).
Hope this helps
