[dba-Tech] Old, Old Software

Hi Arthur

Oh, thanks, if that was all it would take to lie you younger ...
No, I was speaking about DOS; no .cmd files at that time.

By the way, my company in those days dealt with a CPM/86 computer: The US-made AVL Eagle which was a milestone in the audio-visual industry. At the 8" monitor you had an on-line view of the status of your slide projectors.

You must be much younger than you have led us to believe, Gustav. See my previous message on what a cmd file is -- or rather, was, back in the good old days.

Hi John

I guess you have .com files in mind?
.cmd files are today's .bat files. They were introduced with WinNT.

I would guess they are as DOS also uses .cmd as an executable along with
.exe

In the NT OSs .cmd can be a non compiled, open text, batch/script file.
