How many virus require DOS?
Well I could answer that in a small sense but have you noticed many
resident shields run in dos .
Disk
Operating
System
DOS, this is the programs that run the drives.
Even I could write a file that could del or rename command com , or win
command.
C prompt in Dos 6.22 or older and XP are different envelopes.
I have a lot of items that use dos, if it were up to me I would prefer win
3.11 for the simple control of what the PC does on its own, and they dont
know there are other drives like win 95 and up.
