I noticed you switched your wording from MS-DOS to DOS. I dislike people who talk around things like that. My comment was about you saying COMMAN.COM is not 'MS-DOS.' Are you a lawyer? They do that type of thing, also.

   No I am not a lawyer.  MS-DOS or DOS is intended to be the
same in this kind of discussion.  I just felt that the discussion of
COMMAND.COM in "Undocumented DOS" had merit.  And that
boiled down to (something like) DOS is the software that runs
DOS programs, and COMMAND.COM is a program that runs on
DOS.  It is at best a minor point.  COMMAND.COM is definitely a
vital part of the DOS installation.  And it is what the user sees.

   I am sorry I said something that you found offensive.  That
was not intended.

I am glad to hear you are not a lawyer, Steve; yu had me scared for a moment there.
