I haven't been taught it.
May be different in America.

Schools in many countries all around the world use MS-DOS, Qbasic, batch language, Windows command prompt in their computer and IT courses. To say that "DOS" has never been taught in schools is a remarkably sweeping (and rather ignorant) statement.

True, I was just adding that it is not in the English curriculum.

Well, they teach it in at least one secondary school in Bristol that I know about.

Well obviously I am wrong.
I forgot schools can change their curriculum, and obviously if an IT technician or teacher feels teaching DOS would be beneficial then they can teach it, with the backing of the headteacher and or governing body.

You clearly haven't noticed the large number of DOS homework questions that are posted in this part of the forum.

Wrong, I have.
But I don't see why you are getting shirty with me, I didn't make the assumption in the first place.

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to sound shirty. Sorry if it came over that way. I posted in haste. Also you're right, it was our friend who hasn't answered who made the assumption.

[fireballs]

yup i was wrong, sorry. I guess we both posted in haste.
