Upgrading MS-DOS

[Svetlana Haek]

Hi

I am pretty new to ms-dos, so don't shoot me if this question sounds rather stupid

but is it possible to upgrade MS-DOS (prompt) or even install a new version

You see, I have a laptop with Xp and a desktop with Me and the dos versions aren't the same, so every batch file I make is useless on the other computer.

Thanks

Hi Svetlana.

Win.XP does not "have" Dos just a Dos emulator so not all of the batch programming commands are available or work in the same manner as other Win versions which are fully Dos supported.  This is a problem for all batch programmers.

I think that if you write your batch script in XP there is a chance it will perform in ME but no guarantees
