learning MS-DOS

[ChingChang]

Any great sites to learn this?

Yes I did google search and found some decent ones, but if you know an awesome site, please let me know.

Thanks!

Ms...dos...?

do you mean basic?

[ChingChang]

I mean I want to learn how to use dos... if basic is the language than i guess so?

But.. ::brain explodes::

There isn't much use in Dos. If you wanna learn a console, download Cygwin. I think thats what its called.

Why, just why? DOS is outdated, and there's almost nothing beyond the cd and dir commands that you really need in this day in age.

But to satisfy your bizarre lust for arcane knowledge:

You've probably already seen it, since it's the first hit on Google.

I know it's not used much anymore, but I just want to learn :)

I have to give kudos here. I fondly remember the day MS-DOS 5 went on sale and the revolution that was memmaker.exe.

Oh, how far we've come since then. But, there's no better way to appreciate where we are and where we're going than to understand where we've been.

I don't know of any sites off hand. But, you can probably find a copy of an old MS-DOS manual at your local salvation army or thrift store.
