ms dos - What's the difference between MS-DOS and Batch? -
i read apparently ms-dos , batch not same thing, that's how i've been taught.
i couldn't find sites or q&a on can shed light?
batch file language part of msdos. has been part of msdos successors - os/2, windows 16 bit, win 32 on 9x msdos 7, , on win nt 32 bit msdos 5.5 current one. 64 bit doesn't have msdos.
in os/2 ibm engineers tried bolting programming language constructs on msdos batch - microsoft engineers updated windows 2000. remain compatible msdos batch requires horrible hacks. 2 command processors are
command.com - 16 bit msdos command processor. there many versions 1,2, 3, 3.3, 4, 5, 6, 6.22, (on 9x) 7, 7.1, (on win nt) 5.5.
cmd.exe - 32 bit or 64 bit windows command processor understands msdos syntax well. there 2 main versions - nt4 , os/2 , windows 2000 , later.
in windows if type in command.com sends command cmd.exe executed.
try this.
type in start - run
cmd then in console window
ver then type in start - run
command then in console window
ver then type in start - run
command /k ver also
just because program console program not imply either command processor involved. type ftp in start - run ftp.exe running in console.
