The current versions of Microsoft Windows will also run most MS-DOS programs; therefore, MS-DOS is not dead, and will most- likely never die just as Commodore-64s and Amigas have not completely died. Indeed, DOS has found a new life in embedded systems. Other parties continue to develop MS-DOS compatible operating systems for more information see <Q:02.10> [What are my alternatives for MS-DOS compatible OSes?] Windows NT, 2000, and XP all have a "Command Prompt" which is similar to the orignal MS-DOS command prompt. The new Windows command prompt has some differences from the original MS-DOS command prompty; see <Q:01.12> [What other technical newsgroups should I know about?] for pointers on where to learn about these diffences.
