RIP D-Fend
It's always a shame when much appreciated software is no longer supported or, in the case of D-Fend, disappears from the web altogether.
Thankfully there are alternatives, although until today I had not found any that I thought were as good. Except for DBGL, or DOSBox Game Loader. The only slight snag is that it requires Java but I'm not too worried about that. It may be a little slower than software compiled specifically for Windows but it didn't seem sluggish in any way.
Perhaps I'm being nostalgic but it still didn't seem quite as intuative as D-Fend, but that didn't stop me from quickly setting up Commander Keen 4.
An extra bonus is that there are thirteen games insatlled and ready to go. I also found this helpful when setting up other games.
