@notclacke @hipsterelectron @lunarood You don't remember typing A:, doing some stuff on floppy, then typing C: and getting back to the same dir you were in on the HDD?
That wasn't just COMMAND.COM shell behavior, but actual OS state in DOS that Windows preserved as local to the process. 🤮
COMMAND: Starts a new instance of the MS-DOS command interpreter.
The COMMAND command starts a new instance of the MS-DOS command interpreter (COMMAND.COM). This is useful for running batch files or executing MS-DOS commands from within an existing command prompt.
I've been working on some MS-DOS scripting stuff the last couple days and I clearly have linux brain rot because every time I make a new BAT file I have to fight the urge to make the first line:
#!C:\COMMAND.COM
いろいろ違ってた…てか
> Windows 9x系にある COMMAND.COM は、拡張子は.COMであるが内容はEXEファイル
だったんだ…

Only ‘90s kids remember COMMAND.COM .
