I get perverse joy out of using the Windows CMD.EXE shell (and the earlier COMMAND.COM from MS-DOS). Yes, it's tremendously crufty, idiosyncratic, and sometimes seems down-right illogical in its behavior. Arguably, just about anything else is better, but it holds a special place in my heart.
- Esau 10y agoI was recently reading about OS/8, which happened because I have become interested in SIMH, and I was surprised to see how similar some of its commands are to those from DOS (which in turn copied CP/M). It was interesting to see the ASSIGN command on another OS. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OS/8 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OS/8
