Is MS-DOS case sensitive?
Question:
Is MS-DOS case sensitive?
Answer:Overall, MS-DOS is not case sensitive. Unlike case sensitive
command line operating systems, such as
Linux, commands such as the
MS-DOS dir command can be typed as
"DIR", "Dir", or "dir" and still be able to run. In case sensitive
operating systems, only the lowercase command would work.
However, there are some commands that have additional options or
switches that are case sensitive. If these options or switches are
case sensitive, it will be mentioned on the
Computer Hope MS-DOS commands page.
