Dennis, nicely summed up dos history for those who came after us, although I admit I had no idea about unices back then and that there was a unixoid DOS shell replacement is completely new to me.
I was 12 when I came to computing (386-SX 16; 1 MB RAM; 40 MB HDD; VGA and a 24 dot matrix printer)
I began with DR-DOS 5.0 (OS/2 thereafter), so my first shock was after I had to switch to MS-DOS 5 was to discover there was no xdel (or similar) command... MS' deltree came with 6.
