Just like MacOS has UNIX API under it and so does Linux as they were based on Unix standards.
- yesenadam 8y agoDOS was built on CP/M standards hehe come on, DOS was a quick copy/imitation of CP/M. That seems a funny way of describing it, dignifying what was a knock-off job. As if accused forgers or plagiarists were to say "Huh? I'm building on the standards of the earlier work." I mean, fair enough (initially), Gates did try first to give the IBM gig to Kildall.
