- chasil 7mo agoVMS also uses type to dump a file to stdout. I understand that DEC TOPS 20 influenced CP/M and MS-DOS, so that could be the source for type. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TOPS-20 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TOPS-20 Edit: type has its own wiki, and TOPS-20 implemented it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TYPE_(DOS_command) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TYPE_(DOS_command)
