Because I don't have real dos, just command prompt, and I was wondering if theres even people that use dos anymore??!!!I have it on one old machine (v 6.22), and up to Win98 can be considered "kind of" a real DOS as well, even though it has a command prompt as you can reboot in DOS mode.

I have it ... just in case I need it. I only have 1 computer that runs DOS as the only operating system ... and that is a very old comptuer that has a bunch of DOS games on it used for entertainment. I have some DOS boot disks and CDs that I use for troubleshooting computer problems. I still have LEGAL copies of DOS 3.31, 4.01, 5.00, 6.00, 6.20, 6.22, but the DOS I use for my boot CDs are DOS 7.10 from Windows 98.I use MS-Dos 7.10 regularly, also have 6.00, 6,20, 6.22 and know where to download 5.00, 4.01, 3.30r, 3.30a, 3.30 and 3.2 (but I'm not telling)

I have an old IBM-AT 286 that runs PC-DOS 7 and Windows 3.1. It has a 20MB harddisk and 512KB RAM. Two floppies and an external Hayes modem. Runs at the blazing speed of 8MHz.

This was back in the days when PC's came with manuals that explained the DOS commands, the BASIC language, and even wiring diagrams of the BOX! IBM even THREW in REXX with that release of DOS!

Nowadays you buy your PC and you might get a foldup wall poster on how to setup your machine, a kick in the *censored* and a good luck. You might even get a tech support number (good luck with THAT).

I crank it up once in a while to KEEP me humble. 8-)I run dos 4.01 on my Sharp 7200 portable, with an amazing 700kb ram and no extended memory...mmm...5 1/4" boot disks! My friend's dad still uses an Atari for his business. Well, if it works, it works.I use regularly M$-Dos 6.22, 7.10 and Caldera DrDos Bootdisks for Diskimaging and stuff.
(And I am happy with it; a nice contrast to the daily Windows work and more control.) :-)
