I like the Dos interface of Comet mostly.  For those who have not looked at it
very closely, it's has many features that are not obvious, but when you use it
more often you start to learn more about them.

I only skim the surface Uli, most of your commands I don't know about.

The Dos Comet even has some database abilities, it'll read & write pgn files,
append to them, can use tablebases, I think it can do epd postions (have not
tried though) cool stuff.
