cmd.exe versus command.com

Don Culp · Mar 9, 2004

Should DOS programs be run under cmd.exe or command.exe? (Both are in my
System32 folder.) If one is preferred, why? What was the first Windows
version to have cmd.exe?

Thanks,
Don Culp

Here's a little mini FAQ about cmd.exe vs. command.com.

I'd say command.com for DOS apps.
