| | MS-DOS - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Beginning with version 4.0, MSDOS included a file manager program with a quasi-graphical user interface (the DOS Shell) that featured menus, split windows, and program shortcuts using character mode graphics that were a primitive imitation of the Mac OS and Windows. | | | Whereas NT based versions of Windows ran independently of DOS but included much of the old code such that DOS could run in an virtual machines under the new OS. | | | Although its role as a desktop computer operating system has greatly diminished, today it is still used in various embedded x86 systems due to its simplistic architecture, minimal memory requirements, and minimal processor speed requirements. |

| | As long as computers have a need to manipulate hardware and software, and until such time as an adequate replacement is developed, we will have a need for this operating system and a knowledge of its command set. | | | DOS will search the specified path(s) if the file is not found in the current path. | | | Displays the version table and sets the version of DOS that is reported to programs. |

| | Digital Research created the GEM environment that reached minimal popularity, but both were soon eclipsed by Microsoft's Windows GUI package, reportedly due to Microsoft's exclusive agreements with computer hardware vendors. | | | For Microsoft's development from its origin as a specialist programming language supplier in the 1970s to its eventual status as the dominant firm in the computer industry, DOS was the key product. | | | Many programs created their own graphical interface, such as Microsoft Word for DOS, XTree, and the Norton Shell. |

| | r_harvey - Exploring MS-DOS |
| | DOS reuses directory entries as files are created, deleted and renamed, so files on the disk are rarely sorted, and their order in the directory listing can change. | | | Since DOS allocates subdirectory entries on an as-needed basis, reusing deleted directory entries, some new files may be excluded from the Filer list when it exceeds 100 files, even though alphabetically they come before the last entry that made it into the listing. | | | However if it isn't a command DOS recognizes, the command processor assumes it must be a program, so it searches the disk for a program file with that name to run. |

| | DOS 5.0 removed the function to set the option delimiter, but retained the function to query what it currently is. (Unfortunately, no further details were provided in this file, so not sure if the delimiter character can still be changed somehow.) | | | The problem appears to only occur if there is a pipe or redirection in the REMed out line, which shows that DOS first reads the entire line and processes pipes and redirections first, and then goes back to find out what to do with them in the line. | | | TRUENAME is useful in networks, where a physical drive may be mapped to a logical volume, and the user needs to know the physical location of the file. |

| | Known variously as Seattle Computer 86-DOS, IBM Personal Computer DOS, and Zenith Z-DOS, MS-DOS was developed by Seattle Computer Products for its 8086-based computer system. | | | Microsoft has been continuously improving the DOS, providing version 1.24 to IBM (as IBM's version 1.1) with MS-DOS version 1.25 as the general release to all MS-DOS customers in March 1982. | | | In July 1981, Microsoft bought all rights to the DOS from Seattle Computer, and the name MS-DOS was adopted. |

| | Microsoft DOS exists in versions 1.0 to 6.22, and is simulated within versions of Microsoft Windows (as MS-DOS versions 7 or higher); I will assume those here (I have in use Amstrad DOS 3.30, MS-DOS 6.20, and Windows 98). | | | In traditional DOS systems, directory entries are 32 bytes; that holds the SFN, location, size, date, and attributes. | | | There are other, rarer, implementations of DOS - some are similar, some are substantially enhanced (IBM PC-DOS, Caldera DOS, 4DOS, etc.). |
