How do you start dos?
dos stands' for disk operating system. it depends on how you want to start it. on a disk like a basic disk system, you have many dos systems you can use. I use to use version 3.3 . that seemed to be the best one before they went to windows.on dos, you have to have command.com file when starting, otherwise it won't load. the old ibms' however would go to basic if no command.com existed. if it was a clone pc, it would go to never never land and look dumb. the ibms' had basic on the roms so it would load that instead. then you'd have to use basic. on the clones you'd have to load gwbasic in order to run a basic file.if you have an older system that had a hard drive in it, it would automaticly go to dos cause it had command.com in the root directory. I'll be more than happy to answer any and all your questions about dos. I'd just need to know more of what you want to do.you can email me directly to my email address, mlm2156@yahoo.combob
