Solve : command.com / cmd.exe? |
|
Answer» hello there i have been using the cmd.exe, and have just come across this paragraph, doe's this MEAN that i should be using the command.com, if i don't need the additional ENVIROMENT variables When running Windows NT, 2000, XP, or future operating systems there are two versions of the command interpreter, command.com and cmd.exe. Cmd offers additional environment variables than command.com; however, it is recommend if you are attempting to RUN a MS-DOS utility that you utilize the command.com. To use command.com, click Start / Run and type command. It depends on what you want to do. Like the paragraph says, if you are trying to run an old MS-DOS program or utility you may find it runs better under command.com, but if you aren't having any problems you may as well stick with Win32 cmd.exe like I and most others do. CMD.EXE is compatible with most MS-DOS PROGRAMS, and it has SIGNIFICANTLY more functionality than COMMAND.COM does. I agree with Dias and would continue using CMD and if you see something that doesn't work, and then try COMMAND.thanks dias and Gurugary |
