- rep_lodsb 3y agoYes, and a lot of the functionality it uses isn't available in real DOS. It's a bit like in the UNIX world the difference between bash and sh, perhaps more so.

- LeonB 3y agoEach time DoD pops up, someone questions the authenticity of the `dos` label — and I remain unsure of the correct response. I think for now I’ll say — If you believe a more authentic DoD can be created, I agree and I’ll be its first fan. I’m at the point where I think — if it’s worth being pointed out then it’s worth implementing. Bring it!!
- thecodedmessage 3y agoI am literally asking whether this can run on DOS. It’s become clear that it can’t, and words mean things. Given the article is about running web servers literally on DOS, I think we can safely say it’s been brought. Modern Windows command line is not DOS.
