Delete command.com and reboot the computer and see what happpens. The computer hangs and reports that a part of DOS is missing. That proves that command.com is an integral part of DOS. Just because you can replace part of the OS you think the replaced part is not a part of the OS. This is illogical. -- Bruce Springsteen -- |Fidonet: Batch Team 1:342/3 | | Origin: The Cereal Port BBS (603)899-3335 199.125.78.133 (1:132/152) --- # Origin: (1:132/152.4) * Origin: Baddog BBS (1:218/903) .
