Josh, That's because dos commands are complicated, confusing, and involve far more detail than 90% of computer users ever want to deal with. Consider the following basic example: c:\users\john> cd e: c:\users\john>
Change directory to e:? Why am I still in my home directory? Its because cd is complicated and painful, and requires you to specify that you want to change drives, and if you don't, it won't tell you something went wrong. It is generally a good thing that commandlines are shifting to only be used in rare circumstances, because without this change, computers would never have grown to be what they are today. Also remember that most people don't know how to use dos because, quite simply, its immensely limited. Dos may have been great in its heyday, but that time is long past. 640kb of memory can't even run hellow world now. -------------------------------------------------- From: "Joshua Kennedy" <joshknnd1...@gmail.com> Sent: Wednesday, March 08, 2017 8:48 To: "Gamers Discussion list" <gamers@audyssey.org> Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Running DOS games on windows 10? it amaizes me that people today do not know how to use even basic dos commands. they don't know about stuff like extended memory, upper memory blocks, how to enable them, the fact that for example lotus123 for dos requires xmb and extended memory and upper memory to be enabled to run and so on.
