Our great sponsors
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • MS-DOS

    Discontinued The original sources of MS-DOS 1.25 and 2.0, for reference purposes

  • Note that the OEM README[1] for MS-DOS 2 (the first version with a hierarchical filesystem) suggests that it was at IBM’s insistence that MS-DOS used backslash for directories and slash for options, rather than slash for directories and hyphen-minus for options. The documentation and examples for CONFIG.SYS[2] also bear an evident Unix influence, note in particular AVAILDEV and SWITCHAR. (The DOS system calls for files always accepted either separator, but the option parsers would retrieve SWITCHAR[3] and give it precedence.)
