How can I obtain the file for an external MS-DOS
command?
Question:How can I obtain the file for an external MS-DOS command?
Reasoning:
Users who may have read about a MS-DOS command that is not
available in their version of MS-DOS or Windows may wish to download
the file for their computer.
Answer:Because each version of MS-DOS and/or Windows is different many
of the external commands that are not available in your version of
MS-DOS / Windows are not going to be compatible. Therefore if you
wish to have an external command that is not available in your
version of MS-DOS / Windows you will need to find a third-party
utility or program capable of doing the same function. There are
hundreds of different companies and users who have created commands
cable of doing many of the functions found in MS-DOS commands as
well as some programs capable of doing things not found in any
MS-DOS command. Performing a search on any
popular
search engine for "command line",
"download", and/or "windows" and a brief
description of what you are looking to do. For example: "windows command line edit files download"
would find Windows command line editors.
Note: Some commands may work if copied directly from
another computer running the version of Windows or MS-DOS that
supports the command to your computer. However, this is not
recommended because of incompatibility issues as well as legal
issues.
