Forgot to include 95 & 98 in that. I wasn't referring to NT, 2000 or XP.
98 does not have DOS underneith. It just emulates dos with a 98 version of command.com that close inspection of reveals quite a different structure, while still supporting most but not all of the features of Dos 6.2.
Are you certain of that? I thought both W95 & W98 were based on DOS.
Win95 maybe, but win98 is a 32bit system and dos is still only 16. But you can find a win98 machine and try it yourself by clicking start / run / enter command.com and see what it says. Then rename command.com (c:\windows\command direcectory) and reboot and you note it will still work. -- _____________________________________ John Andersen
