The Windows NT command processor CMD.EXE can be run from ksh, so CMD.EXE built-in commands can also be run. Assuming that PATH has been set up to include the Windows NT system directory, UWIN environment could be set to give the dir command for directory listings. For example setting the alias, alias dir='CMD.EXE /c "dir /on"', will allow the native dir command to be used in ksh.

MS-DOS isn't gone, its just harder to get too. Just create a Windows Start Up disk and you can easily get to MS-Dos. Programs like Scandisk no longer need to run in Dos if there is a bad shutdown, Microsoft has improved the program to run when Windows restarts. No. Creating a boot disk to run a bios update is easily done. Read our tip for details on how to create one.

On Windows, excl:run-shell-command executes programs but does not invoke shell commands. The function is therefore misnamed for Windows. It is called run-shell-command to provide cross-platform compatibility between Windows and Unix and back compatibility for ACL4.3.x users. It does behave differently on Windows and Unix. The difference is related to differences between UNIX and Windows. See the documentation page for excl:run-shell-command for details on this point.

First, start up SmartDrive to speed things up. Next, run WINNT from the I386 folder. Setup should launch, warn you if you don't have SmartDrive loaded, copy the cd to a temporarily to your hard disk and reboot your computer. A more detailed guide.

I have a NetWare 5.1 server and I need to create a multiple config boot. With MS-DOS, it was as simple as using the following structure in CONFIG.SYS. [Menu] Menuitem=BootServ, Boot Server Menuitem=BootWork, Boot Workstation Menudefault=BootServ, 10 [BootServ] [BootWork] Files=60 Buffers=20 Device=c:\CDROMDRV.SYS /D:CD001 Then AUTOEXEC.BAT looked like this. Prompt $P$G Goto %config% :BootServ cd\nwserver server goto END :BootWork mscdex /d:CD001 goto END :END Here is a sample CONFIG.

If you use the dir command always with a lot of options like /O /W or whatever you want, it's nasty to type them all the time. You can solve this problem by setting the varibale DIRCMD in autoexec.bat: SET DIRCMD=/W The example above will set the parameter /W as default, you only type dir and you'll get the same result as dir /w. Note: This doesn't work for DR-DOS! In DR-DOS, you may set the default paramenter with dir /C [parameters], e.g. dir /CW

Because workspaces are marked as System Folders, so we can associate a special icon with them. Of course this doesn't help when you're in dos mode. Use dir /as to see system folders.

You can't. Crack is Unix software, written for Unix systems and running primarily on Unix systems, and if you don't know what Unix is, then you don't need to know about Crack.

XP, Windows 2000, and Windows NT don't contain DOS, although XP can create DOS-bootable disks. All three OSs support the cmd.exe command shell, which lets you run NT-equivalent DOS commands. In XP, go to Start, Programs, Accessories or click Start, Run, then type to start the command shell. For earlier application support, you might want to try the command.com shell, which is more compatible with MS-DOS than cmd.exe is. In XP, click Start, Run, then type to start the command.com shell. Command.

You can use Peter Watson's MUG! program on your IIgs to transfer files via MS-DOS Iomega Zip disks. MUG! will let you read Zip disks on a IIgs equipped with a Zip drive and a SCSI interface. MUG is an NDA; so, it can be installed like other NDA's-- e.g. having the main MUG! file (probably MUG.1.01) in the System/Desk.Accs/ folder when booting. For easy use, start with a regular ProDOS Zip disk in your IIgs Zip Drive. Start a standard IIgs desktop program that does not test inserted disks.

First, you need a computer which is IBM compatible. The computer should have 640 KB of RAM or even more :)) (in some cases it will work with fewer RAM, too, but I would use more). Then, you need a floppy drive, a harddisk or something simular. It would be great to have a keyboard or a mouse and if you want to see something you might need a monitor... but that's all. For those who always were happy with Windows it might be annoying to type a lot at the command prompt.

Yes, users have reported success with DOS-based Quicken through version 8 (most recent DOS Quicken version). Recent versions may require more memory than is available under the system manager, but it's easy enough to exit the system manager and run Quicken directly from the DOS prompt, or run it in a separate Software Carousel work area. The "disable filer" trick may allow you to squeeze even the latest Quicken in under the system manager.

Also, make sure gs386.exe exists and is in your PATH. If you are running Mup from MS-DOS directly or from a DOS prompt under Windows, make sure you installed the DOS version of Ghostscript, not the Windows version. If you are using Mupmate, or Winmup, make sure you installed the Windows version of Ghostscript, not the MS-DOS version. Mup handles most common non-ASCII characters.

The core system is based on the command line, but there is the X Window System with provides a Graphical User Interface environment. Window managers (such as Afterstep, fvwm, Enlighment) and desktop environments (GNOME, KDE) build on top of X to provide a total GUI experience. Are there 'windows-like' Internet clients like Eudora, Netscape, etc. available on Linux? How about ICQ? IRC. Netscape is available for Linux. There are also graphical e-mail programs for X.

A:) Only the HPC Pro has a text-based shell window built-in (run CMD.EXE from the Start/Run/ prompt to open it). There are third-party shells for other systems, such as the version from Ruksun (Shell Force) - this is only compatible with CE 1.0 however.

The PROCESS service has a SHELL parameter which specifies that COMMAND should be executed as though you were at a shell prompt. This allows complex commands involving pipelines to be readily executed. Note, if COMMAND and PARMS are both specified they will be concatenated with a space between them, and the resulting string is what will be executed. Unix Command Line Example: STAF local PROCESS START SHELL COMMAND "ps | grep test | wc >testcount.txt"

Windows ME has an installable option that permits the use of a DOS prompt. Please see their help files for an explanation of installing this. Also, you might want to read article Q179644 in the Microsoft knowledge base (http://www.msdn.microsoft.com).

No. The unit is MS/DOS 2.11 compatible in ROM. Due to the hardware differences, and memory limitations, other versions of DOS will not run on it.

TestMaker scripts may be run from within TestMaker or from the command line. Scripts to run agents from the Windows and Linux command line are found in the TestMaker distributions. For TestMaker 4.0 look at testmaker_home/utils. TestMaker 4 offers no support for WS-Security directly at this time. However, because TestMaker uses the Jython scripting language you can easily import and use an Java library that implements the security library and profile you need.

Like in Unix, a command in Windows can be executed in the background by appending "&" at the end of the command. For example, c:/> notepad & Ch supports all Windows serial port I/0 functions listed in CHHOME/include/windows/conio.h, you can find more information at Microsoft developer network web site http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/devio/base/communications_resources.asp . The Windows APIs used for serial port communication are listed below.

There is some work being done to create a free port of XFree86 to Microsoft Windows. However, in the mean time, if you need to run X on such a platform you'll need to use one of the available commercial servers. One of the commercial products, X Appeal, is from an XFree86 sponsor and is a port of the XFree86 servers to MS-DOS. They also have a freely available demo version. X11R6.3 does include some support for MicroSoft Windows NT.

ntbackup <operation> <path> /a /b /d "text" /e /hc:<on/off> /l "<filename>" /r /t <backup type> /tape:n /v This will be backup . If you wanted to eject a tape you could enter eject (but must also include the /tape parameter) The list of drives and directories to be backed up. You may not enter file names or use the wildcard character. To backup multiple drives just put a space between them, e.g. ntbackup backup c: d: etc..

Posted in Bootstrike Forums by wmccain] Windows XP includes TWO command-line processors, CMD.EXE and COMMAND.COM. The second one, COMMAND.COM, is a stripped-down version of the command processor from DOS. The Windows XP version of COMMAND.COM is severely restricted in its capabilities (lacks long filename support and many other features familiar from Windows 98SE), so it is all-but-unusable. Furthermore, it turns out that there are TWO ways to run CMD.

It is likely that you have run into the USB problems that Windows 98 has brought with it. If you have a USB device plugged into your computer (Gamepads etc) then sometimes, when you shut down into DOS - Windows 98 will give you a blue screen error, that only a reboot can fix. The work around is to unplug the USB device before rebooting.

This might happen if, for example, you invoke nmake in a shell and it tries to create subshells. The problem is related to the one above where, again, when the shell is initially created, the first argument to the shell is not the directory in which the shell program resides. When this happens, command.com fabricates a value for its COMSPEC environment variable that is incorrect. Then, when other programs go to use COMSPEC to find the shell, they are given the wrong value.

A000001: Yes, just put the name of the macro after DANCAD3D.COM (tm) on the DOS command line. EXAMPLE: C:\DC27>DANCAD3D DEMO1.MAC

Yes. NEXTSTEP/Intel will support a DOS and Windows compatibility package. This software will allow DOS 5.0 and Windows 3.1 programs to run within a NEXTSTEP window. Support will include DOS "Protected" mode and Windows 3.1. This package is called SoftPC and comes with every NEXTSTEP system. The software is not free with NEXTSTEP, you have to pay extra. Anyway you are not limited in a 30 day test phase when installing it.
