Re: [PLUG] split & cat


I just thought of something. I think the Windows ME version of DOS was on the floppy boot disk that XP produced, not under XP itself, somehow.

And yeah, Win95 was the worst mess. In a way my Linux experiences have paralleled some of my M$ experiences. Learning DOS was like learning csh and bash. Learning Win95 after using Win 3.1 was like learning X window managers.

Okay, Win95 provided a really sucky version of Dos 4 which did not provide
much of the command set. At some point they figured out that the poor
slobs who had to use it needed a working attrib command among other
things. Win 95B and Win98 provided some of those utillties.
It's been years and beers but those bad memories of Win95 just don't go
away.
