Fun MS-DOS fact: The MSDOS.SYS, IO.SYS & COMMAND.COM files had a timestamp that matched the version number (as you can see in the screenshot in this page). The file time is 6:00a [am]. In MS-DOS 6.22, the last version before it was integrated into Windows, the timestamp of those files was 6:22a.
- accrual 3y agoI happened to have a folder containing DOS 6.22 on my desktop and indeed, all the files in the DOS directory are dated 1994-05-31 06:22. Thanks for the interesting knowledge, I never noticed that! Maybe it was touch-like command run as a part of the release process.
