another "blast from the past": how many old DOS commands to you remember?

[carsalesguy]

we all talk about Windows Vista and MAC OS X, but does anyone remember any of the old commands from dos? such as:

CLS
CD\
MD\
ATTRIB
dir and all the extensions, like /o/p
type readme.txt |more

???????????????

FORMAT, CD, and DIR is the only ones I've used in years.

[carsalesguy]

i never liked using the \ since you could just space between the command and the target

[carsalesguy]

here's a couple i just thought of-

copy con: <file name>

then came the good old "EDIT" program

format c:

[carsalesguy]

del *.*

deltree, dir/w/p, edit, /help, cd, md, .., *.*, ???*.*, etc.

I actually prefer using DOS when I'm looking for a file but I'm unsure of some letter in the file name. I hate having to use the ~key, though.

Nothing like a C prompt for deleting certain files. I'm much more comfortable doing it there than doing it under windows.

format c:

Are you sure? (Y/N)

[carsalesguy]

add /s to copy the system to it

hd/p I used that one alot... I think that's the proper way to hide a directory and require a password to open it.... us crazy teenagers...
