dosfetch seems to be dead like neofetch. Last updated on August 2023 and no issue reactions from Leah since then.

DosInfo by Vogons user 'Yoghoo' is based on dosfetch, but source code is not public so far, although it claims to be under GPL-3.0 license. (Via neofetch for DOS \ VOGONS)

Improvements from dosfetch include:

Added and improved checks:

* Added XMS/EMS size
* Added free base memory
* Added CPU family info
* OS detection improved (added Dosbox, Dosbox-X etc)
* Added uptime (works with leap years etc for unrealistic long uptimes :))
* Now also works with FAT32 drives
* Shows all available drives
* Auto detects < 80 column displays and adjusts the output

Added options:

* Logo is changeable (with a text file)
* Includes a /nologo switch if you don't want to show a logo
* Colors can be changed (with a config file)

Removed some bugs (like OS version for older DOS versions) and added some sanity checks (line length etc).
