If you wanted to run something like a DOS "Dir" command then you must run it though the command interpreter (command.com or cmd.exe depending on your OS). The @Comspec macro contains the correct location of this file. You should use the RunWait() function as it waits for the DOS program to finish before continuing with the next line of the script. Here is an example of running the DOS Dir command on the C: drive: (effectively running the command command.com /c Dir C:\ )

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. See similar questions...

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. See similar questions...

Previous versions of AutoIt were fine for what they were designed for - writing simple scripts to help with software installations. Over time people began using it for general and complicated scripting tasks. The old syntax and structure made this possible but very very difficult and cumbersome. The decision was made to make AutoIt more suitable for general automation tasks and to achieve that a more standard and basic-like language was made. See similar questions...

All DOS programs which can be run under FreeDOS are located in the DOSAPPS subdirectory on the UBCD. When you launch any of the DOS programs using the FreeDOS boot disk, the drive letter which the UBCD is mounted is given in the environment variable %BCDW_CDROM%. You can easily switch to the DOSAPPS subdirectory on the UBCD and run any applicable DOS programs from the command line. See similar questions...

With Accessories | Windows Accessories | Command Prompt WinEdt opens a Command Prompt at your current path (usually %p or %P) inheriting all environment settings of WinEdt With Accessories | Run... a small dialog opens, inviting you to specify a Command Line (keeping a small history of the latest command executions) and an optional Startup Folder.

DOS is a Disk Operating System, that means it's an OS that uses a disk. Operating systems for IBM PCs since the early 1980s were called DOS. DOS consists of the command prompt, mostly command.com and two kernelfiles. That's a basic DOS system. DOS was a mainstream OS until Windows 95 (which also uses DOS, btw) threw it off the market.

Users of all PC-based Windows desktop systems can create an icon that will let you start DOS applications with a "click" of the left mouse button. CPC-HOB for DOS is used here as an example. Enter Windows and select a group window where you want the new CPC-HOB icon. A group window is selected when it is displaying its icons and its title bar is highlighted. Click on File option. Choose New form the File Menu. The NEW PROGRAM OBJECT window should open. See similar questions...

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. See similar questions...

With the use of DOS or Windows emulators, our software can theoretically be ran under a wide variety of operating systems including, but not limited to: OS/2, Linux, and MacOS. To our knowledge, some of our products have been successfully ran under DOSEmu and Virtual PC. See similar questions...

UUCP implementations vary from operating system to operating system. Non-UNIX operating systems typically require additional software to provide full UUCP connectivity. DOS: Tom Dell's Waffle BBS shareware includes a Usenet news and UUCP mail system that runs under DOS. Jorge Cwik's shareware uucico implementation runs under DOS and works well with Waffle.

If doscmd will not suffice, the add-on utility emulators/pcemu emulates an 8088 and enough BIOS services to run many DOS text mode applications. It requires the X Window System. See similar questions...

No is the short answer (sorry). Windmill 4.3 runs under Windows 3.1 and later (but not Windows XP). Windmill 6 (comDebug) runs under Windows 95 and later. See similar questions...

No. Although the compiler will build 16 bit DOS programs, the compiler itself will only run under Win32. The dos extended versions of the tool executables are no longer included. Symantec does offer a freely downloadable set of compilers that run under DOS here. (This link appears to be broken.) See similar questions...

No, Sesame is a modern cross-platform database program, running both on Windows 32-bit operating systems (Windows 95, 98, NT, 2000, ME, XP) and Linux (under X11). Sesame has a graphical user interface. See similar questions...

Most console applications should run fine; the following table lists equivalents of commonly-found functions. All these functions require windows.h. If your application is written for the BGI (Borland Graphics Interface), Konstantin Knizhnik has written a BGI emulation layer for Windows called 'WinBGI'. This will allow you to run your BGI programs, mostly unmodified, in Windows. If your application is written for the Allegro graphics library, there is a version prepared for Windows.
